The Highlights of PRC Trademark Law
In order to strengthen the training of foreign-related legal talents, the Academy for the Rule of Law at China University of Political Science and Law has launched the project of “Chinese Law online Open Course in English” in September 2020. With support from the Publicity Office, Academic Office and NSIO of our university, The Highlights of PRC Trademark Law is produced by the Academy for the Rule of Law at China University of Political Science and Law, written and presented by Dr. Zhang Nan, an associate professor from this Academy. Another video, The Highlights of PRC Patent Law, produced by this academy has won the First Prize Award and the Most Popular Work Award in the Intellectual Property Video Contest run by China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA).
This video is composed of four parts. The first part reviews the promulgation of China’s first trademark law and the timeline of the past four amendments of the trademark law. The second part uses an example to vividly demonstrate that Chinese geographical indication (GI) products often contain both trademarks and GI marks on them. The third part focuses on the latest amendment of Article 73, one of the most important changes in the fourth amendment, and analyzes it line by line, emphasizing that the trademark right holders need to pay attention to the calculation method of trademark infringement, the change of the range of statutory damages and the upper and lower limits of punitive damages. The fourth part points out the latest highlights of China’s trademark law, which aims to further safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of domestic and overseas trademark right holders and increase the punishment for infringement of trademark right.
