Anti-Monopoly Law of the PRC Comes

中华人民共和国反垄断法

China Passes Antitrust Law, to Scrutinize More Deals

"Whether the law makes foreign investors' lives more difficult depends on how it's implemented, Jonathan Palmer, regional managing director for U.S. law firm Heller Ehrman LLP said. 'Where the rubber meets the road is in the enforcement,' he said. 'At the moment, we don't know how it's going to be enforced. But overall the law is a significant step forward and is in compliance with international standards.'"

中国新反垄断法引来种种疑问

何禹欣:中国反垄断虚多实少

“虽然立意甚高,《反垄断法》在中国到底能达到什么样的效果,令人存疑。就法条本身而言,留待解释空间太大,可操作性很差。中国美国商会认为,新法亟需得到多种配套法规的阐释,其中便包含了对交易进行竞争和国家安全审查的程序,和美国尤其关心的对滥用知识产权如何定义及惩处。一位中国法律专家指出,中国已具备最完备的知识产权法和环境保护法,但执行效果却聊胜于无。”

第五十五条 经营者依照有关知识产权的法律、行政法规规定行使知识产权的行为,不适用本法;但是,经营者滥用知识产权,排除、限制竞争的行为,适用本法。

Article 55 deals with the abuse of the IPRs, applicable to the undertakings that eliminate or restrict market competition beyond the laws and administrative regulations on intellectual property rights.

The three major intellectual property laws in China, namely, Copyright Law, Patent Law, and Trademark Law, are directly impacted by the Anti-Monopoly Law.
