As global e-commerce sales continue to rise, more brands are placing their goods online and attracting new customers. During the pandemic, live streaming advertisements have exploded in China, allowing for millions of people to be exposed to your brand, with minimal investment. With more than 900 million users (and growing) on various Chinese e-commerce platforms, the potential for brands is vast.
However, the potential is equally as enticing to counterfeiters. To ensure the safety of your brand on Chinese e-commerce platforms, there are a few important measures to adopt as part of your IP protection strategy.

China’s e-commerce landscape has changed rapidly over the years. With an increase in e-commerce activity and with consumer complaints and speculations of unfair competition on the rise, it is only natural that the Chinese government has taken notice. For a foreign company seeking to start an e-commerce business in China, it is crucial to closely examine the fast-changing landscape.
In this webinar we will be looking at the new era for China’s e-commerce, business models to start an eCommerce business in China, the importance of applying for an ICP license (if needed and applicable), the benefits of China’s eCommerce regime, and what to watch out for when choosing e-commerce platforms in China.
