- International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition
- Gucci America has quit the International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition, the second defection since the Washington, D.C.-based group allowed Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba to become a member in April. Michael Kors walked out of the IACC last month, calling Alibaba "our most dangerous and damaging adversary." The outrage over Alibaba's membership raises fresh questions about how effective Alibaba has been in fighting fakes as it pushes to take its e-commerce juggernaut global. It has also allowed the deep loathing some harbor for one of China's global champions to burst into view. Gucci, along with other Kering Group brands like Balenciaga, is suing Alibaba in New York federal court. They accuse Alibaba of knowingly encouraging and profiting from the sale of counterfeit goods on its e-commerce platforms. Alibaba has dismissed the suit as "wasteful litigation."
International treaty/regulations
- The Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works, usually known as the Berne Convention, is aninternational agreement governingcopyright, which was first accepted inBerne, Switzerland, in 1886. The Berne Convention formally mandated several aspects of modern copyright law; it introduced the concept that a copyright exists the moment a work is "fixed", rather than requiring registration. It also enforces a requirement that countries recognize copyrights held by the citizens of all other signatory countries.
- The Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) is an international patent law treaty, concluded in 1970. It provides a unified procedure for filing patent applications to protect inventions in each of its contracting states. A patent application filed under the PCT is called an international application, or PCT application.

- The WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty (or WPPT)
- an international treaty signed by the member states of the World Intellectual Property Organization was adopted inGeneva on December 20, 1996. It came into effect on 20 May 2002. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act is the United States's implementation of the treaty (see WIPO Copyright and Performances and Phonograms Treaties Implementation Act). WPPT was adopted with an objective to develop and maintain the protection of the rights of performers and producers of phonograms in a manner as effective and uniform as possible. This treaty would not disturb the existing obligations that Contracting Parties have to each other under the International Convention for the Protection of Performers, Producers of Phonograms and Broadcasting Organizations done in Rome, October 26, 1961 (Rome Convention). Articles 18 and 19 of the WPPT provide similar obligations for performers and producers of phonograms to contracting states as provided under Articles 11 and 12 of the WCT.
- The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA)
- a United States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). It criminalizes production and dissemination of technology, devices, or services intended to circumvent measures (commonly known as digital rights management or DRM) that control access to copyrighted works. It also criminalizes the act of circumventing an access control, whether or not there is actual infringement of copyright itself. In addition, the DMCA heightens the penalties for copyright infringement on the Internet. Passed on October 12, 1998, by a unanimous vote in the United States Senate and signed into law by President Bill Clinton on October 28, 1998, the DMCA amended Title 17 of theUnited States Code to extend the reach of copyright, while limiting the liability of the providers of online services for copyright infringement by their users. The DMCA's principal innovation in the field of copyright is the exemption from direct and indirect liability of Internet service providersand other intermediaries. This exemption was adopted by the European Union in the Electronic Commerce Directive 2000. TheCopyright Directive 2001 implemented the 1996 WIPO Copyright Treaty in the EU.

- The International Copyright Act of 1891 is the first U.S. congressional act that extended limited protection to foreign copyright holders from select nations. Formally known as the "International Copyright Act of 1891", but more commonly referred to as the "Chace Act" after Sen. Jonathan Chace of Rhode Island. The International Copyright Act of 1891 was created because many people shunned the idea of literary piracy. It was the first U.S. congressional act that offered copyright protection in the United States to citizens of countries other than the United States. The act extended limited protection to foreign copyright holders from select nations. It was also important for American creators since they were more likely to have international copyright protection in countries that were offered the same protection by the United States. The Act empowered the President to extend copyright to works of foreign nationals.
- The Copyright Term Extension Act (CTEA) of 1998 extended copyright terms in theUnited States.
- The Leahy–Smith America Invents Act (AIA) is a United States federal statute that was passed by Congress and was signed into law byPresident Barack Obama on September 16, 2011. The law represents the most significant change to the U.S. patent system since 1952, and closely resembles previously proposed legislation in the Senate in its previous session (Patent Reform Act of 2009). Named for its lead sponsors, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), the Act switches the U.S. patent system from a "first to invent" to a "first inventor to file" system, eliminates interference proceedings, and develops post-grant opposition. Its central provisions went into effect on September 16, 2012 and on March 16, 2013.
- Controversial bill
- The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) was a controversial United States bill introduced by U.S. Representative Lamar S. Smith (R-TX) to expand the ability of U.S. law enforcement to combat online copyright infringement and online trafficking incounterfeit goods. Provisions included the requesting of court orders to baradvertising networks and payment facilities from conducting business with infringing websites, and web search engines from linking to the websites, and court orders requiring Internet service providers to block access to the websites. The proposed law would have expanded existing criminal laws to include unauthorized streaming of copyrighted content, imposing a maximum penalty of five years in prison.
- The PROTECT IP Act (Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act, or PIPA) was a proposed law with the stated goal of giving the US government and copyright holders additional tools to curb access to "rogue websites dedicated to the sale of infringing or counterfeit goods", especially those registered outside the U.S.

- The European patent with unitary effect (EPUE), more commonly known as the unitary patent, is a new type of European patent in advanced stage of adoption which would be valid in participating member states of the European Union.[notes 1] Unitary effect can be registered for a European patent upon grant, replacing validation of the European patent in the individual countries concerned. The unitary effect means a single renewal fee, a single ownership, a single object of property, a single court (the Unified Patent Court) and uniform protection—which means that revocation as well as infringement proceedings are to be decided for the unitary patent as a whole rather than for each country individually. Licensing is however to remain possible for part of the unitary territory. Formal agreement on the two EU regulations[1][2] that made the unitary patent possible through enhanced cooperation at EU level was reached between the European Council andEuropean Parliament on 17 December 2012. The legality of the two regulations was however challenged by Spain and Italy, who filed in total four actions for annulment, two of which were rejected, and two of which are currently pending before the European Court of Justice.[3] All EU member states except Spain and Croatia participate in the enhanced cooperation. Unitary effect of newly granted European patents can be requested, from the date the related Unified Patent Court Agreement enters into force for the first group of ratifiers,[notes 2] and will extend to those participating member states for which the UPC Agreement had entered into force upon the registration of unitary effect. The negotiations which resulted in the unitary patent can be traced back to various initiatives dating to the 1970s. At different times, the project, or very similar projects, have been referred to as the "European Union patent" (the name used in the EU treaties, which serve as the legal basis for EU competency), "EU patent", "Community patent", "European Community Patent", "EC patent" and "COMPAT".

- The Statute of Anne, also known as theCopyright Act 1709 (cited either as 8 Ann. c. 21 or as 8 Ann. c. 19), is an act of theParliament of Great Britain passed in 1710, which was the first statute to provide forcopyright regulated by the government and courts, rather than by private parties. Prior to the statute's enactment in 1710, copying restrictions were authorized by theLicensing of the Press Act 1662. These restrictions were enforced by theStationers' Company, a guild of printers given the exclusive power to print—and the responsibility to censor—literary works. The censorship administered under the Licensing Act led to public protest; as the act had to be renewed at two-year intervals, authors and others sought to prevent its reauthorisation. In 1694, Parliament refused to renew the Licensing Act, ending the Stationers' monopoly and press restrictions. Over the next 10 years the Stationers repeatedly advocated bills to re-authorize the old licensing system, but Parliament declined to enact them. Faced with this failure, the Stationers decided to emphasise the benefits of licensing to authors rather than publishers, and the Stationers succeeded in getting Parliament to consider a new bill. This bill, which after substantial amendments was granted Royal Assent on 5 April 1710, became known as the Statute of Anne due to its passage during the reign of Queen Anne. The new law prescribed a copyright term of 14 years, with a provision for renewal for a similar term, during which only the author and the printers they chose to license their works to could publish the author's creations.[4]Following this, the work's copyright would expire, with the material falling into the public domain. Despite a period of instability known as the Battle of the Booksellers when the initial copyright terms under the Statute began to expire, the Statute of Anne remained in force until the Copyright Act 1842 replaced it. The statute is considered a "watershed event in Anglo-American copyright history ... transforming what had been the publishers' private law copyright into a public law grant".[5]Under the statute, copyright was for the first time vested in authors rather than publishers; it also included provisions for the public interest, such as a legal deposit scheme. The Statute was an influence on copyright law in several other nations, including the United States, and even in the 21st century is "frequently invoked by modern judges and academics as embodying the utilitarian underpinnings of copyright law".
- The Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 (c 48), also known as the CDPA, is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that received Royal Assent on 15 November 1988. It reformulates almost completely the statutory basis of copyright law (including performing rights) in theUnited Kingdom, which had, until then, been governed by the Copyright Act 1956(c. 74). It also creates an unregistereddesign right, and contains a number of modifications to the law of the United Kingdom on Registered Designs andpatents. Essentially, the 1988 Act and amendment establishes that copyright in most works lasts until 70 years after the death of the creator if known, otherwise 70 years after the work was created or published (50 years for computer-generated works).

In 2009, the website's founders were found guilty in Sweden for assisting in copyright infringement. In some countries, Internet service providers have been ordered to block access to the website. Subsequently,proxies have been providing access to it,[3][4][5][6][7] and its content is being provided by multiple round-robin servers, collectively nicknamed the "TPBhydra".

事件背後涉及NOME內地品牌爭議。2017年，從事服裝行業多年的陳浩創立了NOME家居品牌，名創優品今年4月突對外大肆宣稱收購了NOME，葉國富在發佈會上以NOME名義招加盟店。陳浩一方不甘示弱，指葉國富散佈謠言說已收購NOME，以海外註冊商標阻礙NOME發展，在內地入稟提告，葉國富也聲言要採取法律行動。https://hk.finance.appledaily.com/finance/daily/article/20181015/20522674

- Record companies and music websites are being encouraged to avoid exclusive agreements, as China's top copyright authority attempts to stimulate the online music market. The National Copyright Administration met with about 20 record companies and associations from China and abroad on Wednesday to talk about online music copyright protection.The administration asked the music companies to stick to market rules and international practices to widen licensing and spread online music; and it underlined the laws and international conventions on copyright, warning them against any infringement.The discussion came a day after the administration held a similar meeting with major internet companies whose interests include online music platforms."Labels should not sign exclusive agreements with online music providers. The agreements should follow a reasonable and fair rule," Yu Cike, the administration's director of copyright management, said on Wednesday."Online music providers are not allowed to push up licensing prices and cause vicious competition," he said, adding that they must also support the work of copyright organizations to protect the rights of copyright holders.

- http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2017-06/26/content_29883702.htm Business insiders and experts are calling for stronger legislation to protect sports broadcast rights, as online piracy continues to plague China's burgeoning sports entertainment industry. With the value of media rights for major sports events skyrocketing, piracy - including illicit livestreaming - has emerged as a serious issue that worries governing bodies and those who hold the rights. Last week, in an effort to curb unauthorized distribution, the Chinese Football Association barred fans from carrying high-end cameras and certain other recording devices into top-tier league games. Such administrative measures, and a series of lawsuits, have exposed the lack of clear legal protection for sports broadcasts, according to a seminar in Beijing hosted on Friday by the National Copyright Administration of China. "The copyright law system in China doesn't recognize sports broadcasting as 'works' subject to its protection because of the relatively low originality of the content," said Gao Si, the deputy director of the administration's Policy and Legislation Department.

However, their mainland property was nationalized. As a result, there are now two manufacturers of Po Chai Pills:
- Li Chung Shing Tong (Holdings) Limited (李眾勝堂(集團)有限公司) in Hong Kong; and
- Guangzhou Wanglaoji Pharmaceutical Company Limited (廣州王老吉葯業股份有限公司) in Guangzhou, China.
A mutual agreement between both parties has limited Wanglaoji's trademark rights to mainland China, while Li Chung Shing Tong has the rights to use the trademark in the rest of the world. The mainland manufacturer exports them from China as Curing Pills or Bao Ji Pills. On 8 March 2010, sales of the pills from Li Chung Shing Tong have been halted in Singapore as a precaution because traces of phenolphthalein and sibutramine had been detected in batches of the capsule form of the pills, and have been recalled.[1]Phenolphthalein's past use for its laxative properties has been discontinued because of concerns it may be carcinogenic. On 24 March 2010, Hong Kong's Department of Health has recalled both Po Chai Pills Capsule Form and Po Chai Pills Bottle Form from local retail outlets and consumers. On 11 May 2010, a licensed manufacturer in proprietary Chinese medicine, Li Chung Shing Tong (Holdings) Ltd. HK has been given the green light to resume production and marketing of Po Chai Pills Bottle Form.[3] Laboratory tests identified 11 tainted samples, all in Capsule Form, while none of the Bottle Form samples was found to contain the above two western medicines. In connection, the manufacturer has withdrawn the application for registration of Po Chai Pills Capsule Form which has already ceased to be produced since late March. Po Chai Pills in the United States imported by Prince of Peace Enterprises, Inc. are not tainted nor affected by the Hong Kong or Singapore recall. As of July 2009, Po Chai Pills in the United States is imported by Solstice Medicine Company.
