Recently, the State Post Bureau issued a notice to the postal management bureaus of various provinces, autonomous regions, and municipalities directly under the central government, deploying the work of cracking down on infringement and counterfeiting in the postal industry.
The notice points out that in recent years, the postal industry has developed rapidly, and the fundamental role of postal services in economic and social life has become increasingly prominent. At the same time, the use of postal channels by criminals to engage in various illegal and criminal activities has become increasingly serious. Among them, the illegal sale of various intellectual property infringing and counterfeit goods through e-commerce channels has damaged the legitimate rights and interests of consumers and brought negative impacts to the healthy development of the postal industry. Since May 2014, the State Post Bureau has been included as a member unit of the National Leading Group for Combating Intellectual Property Infringement and the Production and Sale of Counterfeit and Inferior Goods, and is responsible for combating intellectual property infringement and the production and sale of counterfeit and inferior goods in the postal industry (hereinafter referred to as "combating infringement and counterfeiting").
The notice requires that postal management departments at all levels across the country should attach great importance to cracking down on infringement and counterfeiting, and make it an important part of postal market supervision, making positive contributions to the overall situation of cracking down on infringement and counterfeiting nationwide. Postal management departments at all levels should strengthen organizational leadership, actively establish working contacts with the local leading group office for cracking down on infringement and counterfeiting (anti-counterfeiting office, "double team" office, etc.), improve work mechanisms, and actively cooperate with relevant departments to carry out publicity, education, training, law enforcement inspections and other related work in the postal industry to combat infringement and counterfeiting. We need to strengthen the publicity, education, supervision and guidance of postal and express delivery enterprises, guide them to strengthen internal management, enhance integrity construction, strictly implement the inspection system for receiving and sending, and prevent infringing and counterfeit goods from entering the delivery channels. We should encourage enterprises to report the perpetrators of delivering infringing and counterfeit goods. Delivery companies should sign agreements with e-commerce companies to prevent the delivery of infringing and counterfeit goods; Emails and parcels sent by enterprises listed on the "blacklist" for cracking down on infringement and counterfeiting announced by relevant departments should be subject to special inspection. Each province (region, city) postal management bureau should carry out a special activity to combat infringement and counterfeiting in the postal industry in the fourth quarter of this year, based on the focus of cracking down on infringement and counterfeiting, combined with the local situation, and cooperate with relevant departments to carry out the work of cracking down on infringement and counterfeiting, promoting the healthy development of the postal industry.
