China drafts stricter trademark laws to fight squatters and boost IP protection.
China is reviewing a draft amendment to its Trademark Law to combat malicious registration and squatting, with the proposal under consideration by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress.
The update, aimed at strengthening intellectual property protection, introduces stricter rules against non-use-based applications and excessive filings, with penalties including fines up to 100,000 yuan.
It also targets trademark agencies, improves enforcement clarity, and streamlines review processes.
As of December 2024, China had 83.52 million trademark applications and 49.78 million active trademarks—both record highs—highlighting the law’s role in supporting innovation and fair competition.
