For purposes of this provision, an unreasonable delay shall at least include a delay in the issuance of the patent of more than four years from the date of filing of the application in China, or three years after a request for examination of the application, whichever is later.<\/p>\n<p>With respect to patents covering a new pharmaceutical product that is approved for marketing in China and methods of making or using a new pharmaceutical product that is approved for marketing in China, China, at the request of the patent owner, shall make available an adjustment of the patent term or the term of the patent rights of a patent covering a new product, its approved method of use, or a method of making the product to compensate the patent owner for unreasonable curtailment of the effective patent term as a result of the marketing approval process related to the first commercial use of that product in China. Any such\u00a0 adjustment shall confer all of the exclusive rights, subject to the same limitations and exceptions, of the patent claims of the product, its method of use, or its method of manufacture in the originally issued patent as applicable to the approved product and the approved method of use of the product. China may limit such adjustments to no more than five years and may limit the resulting effective patent term to no more than 14 years from the date of marketing approval in China.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Piracy and Counterfeiting on E-Commerce Platforms<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This section of the agreement requires expeditious takedowns on e-commerce platforms (e.g., <a href=\"https:\/\/world.taobao.com\/\">taobao<\/a>); eliminates liability for erroneous good-faith takedown requests; extends to 20 working days a deadline for rights holders to file a judicial or administrative complaint after receipt of a counter-notification; and to ensure validity of takedown notices and counter-notifications.\u00a0 Further, China should revoke operating licenses of e-commerce platforms that repeatedly fail to curb the sale of counterfeit or pirated goods.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Geographical Indications<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Perhaps controversially for other trading partners, the agreement\u00a0 calls for any measures taken in connection with pending or future requests<br \/>\nfrom any other trading partner for recognition or protection of a geographical indication pursuant to an international agreement do not undermine market access for U.S. exports to China of goods and services using trademarks and generic terms.\u00a0 In addition, China shall give its trading partners, including the United States, necessary opportunities<br \/>\nto raise disagreement about enumerated geographical indications in lists, annexes, appendices, or side letters, in any such agreement with another trading partner.<\/p>\n<p>The agreement also calls on China to recognize the geographical indications can become generic over time and therefore subject to cancellation as well as providing for how to determine if a geographical indication is generic.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Manufacture and Export of Pirated and Counterfeit Goods<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The agreement calls for measures to increase transparency and taking effective and expeditious enforcement action against counterfeit pharmaceuticals and related products containing active pharmaceutical ingredients, bulk chemicals, or biological substances.\u00a0 Similarly, the measures call increased enforcement actions against counterfeit goods with health and safety risks.<\/p>\n<p>The measures further call for the destruction of counterfeit goods instead of only removal of a counterfeit trademark unlawfully affixed to the counterfeit good.<\/p>\n<p>For border enforcement, China should increase the number of trained personnel to inspect, detain, seize, effect administrative forfeiture, and otherwise execute customs\u2019 enforcement authority against counterfeit and pirated goods, with an emphasis on counterfeit and pirated goods<br \/>\nthat are exported or in transit. China should also increase the number of enforcement actions and publish quarterly updates of same.<\/p>\n<p>China should also increase enforcement actions at physical markets (e.g., AP Xinyang Fashion &amp; Gifts Market in Shanghai) for copyright and trademark infringement.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Finally, all government agencies and all entities that the government owns or controls (e.g., state-owned enterprises that comprise perhaps up to <a href=\"http:\/\/documents.worldbank.org\/curated\/en\/390691565249400884\/How-Much-Do-State-Owned-Enterprises-Contribute-to-China-s-GDP-and-Employment\">28% of China&#8217;s GDP<\/a>) will use only licensed software.\u00a0 Third party annual audits will be conducted annually beginning within 7 months of the date of the agreement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bad-Faith Trademarks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A main focus of <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chinaiplawupdate.com\/2020\/01\/chinas-amended-tm-law-has-potential-to-reduce-squatting\/\">China&#8217;s trademark law as amended effective November 1, 2019<\/a>, the agreement requires further measures against bad-faith trademarks including transferring cases from administrative enforcement to criminal enforcement; instituting deterrent-level penalties; and ensuring expeditious enforcement of Court judgments.<\/p>\n<p>The bad-faith trademark section of the agreement also includes measures for copyright, document authentication (reducing the need to authenticate evidence and streamlining procedures when needed), and allowing for witness testimony with cross examination in civil proceedings.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Bilateral Cooperation on Intellectual Property Protection<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>China and the U.S. agree to strengthen bilateral cooperation in the protection of IP without specific commitments except to discuss biennial cooperation work plans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Implementation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Within 30 working days of entry into force, China will generate an Action Plan to implement the measures indicated and date each measure will go into effect.\u00a0 The U.S. affirms that existing measures are already consistent with the agreement (and therefore, presumably, does not need to take any further action).<\/p>\n<p>The agreement also includes other measures to stop forced technology transfer; increase trade in food and agricultural products, increase U.S. market access to China&#8217;s financial sector, increase transparency in currency exchange rates and not manipulate exchange rates; and increase exported goods bu the U.S. to China by $200 billion from a 2017 baseline amount.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p class=\"excerpt\">In the Economic and Trade Agreement Between the United States of America and the People&#8217;s Republic of China, Phase
