The 127th Canton Fair has been successfully concluded a few days ago. The Party Central Committee and the State Council attach great importance to the work of holding the Canton Fair Online. Prior to the exhibition, the State Intellectual Property Office issued the notice on strengthening the intellectual property protection of the 127th Canton Fair, deploying all provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities involved in the exhibition to carry out publicity and education, and investigate the infringement risks, so as to create a good environment for the smooth opening of the Canton fair. During the Canton Fair, we sent a special team together with Guangdong Intellectual Property Management Department to escort the "Canton Fair on cloud".

The Canton Fair is the first time in its history that it has been fully held online. Intellectual property protection is facing new situations such as more complex situation, more difficult to determine and wider influence. The State Intellectual Property Office and Guangdong Intellectual Property Management Department have organized more than 50 intellectual property protection staff and relevant experts to undertake the task of dispute resolution and judgment on the spot. The working team conscientiously perform their duties, strictly abide by the law and regulations, and handle each dispute complaint fairly and objectively. Relevant experts give in-depth guidance to the handling of disputes and complaints, give professional guidance and quality control to the preliminary handling opinions of disputes, try their best to solve difficult and complex cases, and ensure that the handling conclusions are correct and can stand up to investigation, evaluation and verification. On June 24, the first online Canton Fair successfully closed, during which 278 cases of patent and trademark infringement complaints were handled, 467 cases less than the previous one, 62.7% less than the previous one; 201 enterprises were complained, 309 less than the previous one. Among them, there were 192 patent complaints and 86 trademark complaints, which were 69.2% and 29.5% lower than those of the previous session, respectively, and 108 foreign-related disputes, which were 56.8% lower than those of the previous session. All disputes were settled within 48 hours, with a settlement rate of 100% before the closing, ensuring the stability and order of the Canton Fair.

This task comes at a time when the epidemic situation in Beijing is severe and complex. The State Intellectual Property Office and relevant departments of Guangdong Province cooperate closely and organize the implementation carefully. While doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, the task of intellectual property protection of the Canton Fair has been successfully completed, which has been highly praised and widely praised by the organizers and exhibitors of the Canton Fair. It is a great contribution to promoting the stability and quality of foreign trade, ensuring employment and stabilizing economic development It played a positive role. (Cui Shangke)
