Recent Amendment of the PRC Regulations on Customs Protection of Intellectual Property Rights
In March 2010, the PRC State Council amended the Regulations on Customs Protection of Intellectual Property Rights ("Regulations"). The amendments, which came into force on 1 April 2010, aim to strike a balance of the interests between intellectual property rights holders ("IPR holders") and the importers and exporters and to streamline and strengthen the Mainland China Customs' enforcement measures at the border.
