Nine central government departments have announced an increased effort to fight online counterfeits and piracy.
Designed to further strengthen a crackdown on Internet IP infringements mounted at the end of last year, the April 21 announcement urges local authorities across the country enhance supervision of online shopping portals.
Websites listed - including Taobao, Eachnet and Paipai - need to establish a trade and patent inquiry system and use technical means to screen out false information and goods, according to the notice.
