Lecture 1. Amendments to the Implementing Rules of the Patent Law
A few days ago, the Prime Minister signed an order promulgating the "Decision on Amending the Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Patent Law of the People's Republic of China".
The Decision mainly amends the detailed rules for the implementation of the Patent Law in the following five aspects.
First, improve the patent application system to facilitate applicants to obtain patents
Second, improve the patent examination systemImprove the quality of patent examination
Third, strengthen patent protectionSafeguard the legitimate rights and interests of patentees
Fourth, strengthen patent servicesPromote the creation and transformation of patents
Fifth, special provisions for international design applications have been added to link up with the Hague Agreement Concerning the International Registration of Industrial Designs (1999 Act);
Judging from the specific aspects of the revision of the implementation rules of the patent law, China will tighten the patent examination, strengthen patent protection, and promote the entry into force of patents, the "water content" of patents will definitely decrease, and the "gold content" will increase to a certain extent, and it should be more and more difficult to apply for patents in the future (patent application will still exist, but the fees may be more expensive), and patents will become more and more valuable.
Lecture 2. Adjust import and export tariffs on some commodities
On December 21, the ** Customs Tariff Commission issued an announcement that from January 1, 2024, China will implement a provisional import tax rate lower than the most-favored-nation rate for 1,010 goods.
Specifically, it will reduce import tariffs on resource products, key equipment and components such as lithium chloride and gas diffusion layers for fuel cells, and implement zero tariffs on drugs and raw materials for some anti-cancer drugs and rare disease drugs.
After reducing import tariffs, the goods will be cheaper, enterprises and individuals can get benefits from them, and all the products that reduce import tariffs are domestic goods that cannot be replaced at the same price for the time being, and enterprises focusing on domestic substitution will not be greatly affected.
Finally, while reducing the import tax rate on goods, there is another big event happening today, but the simulcast did not report it, so here we will post it:** The Customs Tariff Commission issued an announcement to suspend tariff concessions for some products under the Cross-Strait Economic Cooperation Framework Agreement
Lecture 3. Kazakh-Israeli negotiations broke down
On 20 December, Hamas rejected Israel's offer for a temporary ceasefire in exchange for the hostages, calling for a permanent ceasefire.
On the same day, the Israeli Prime Minister said thisThe idea that Israel will stop its actions against Hamas anytime soon is unrealistic
If the two sides do not reach a ceasefire agreement, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza will continue to continue, so the Houthi "blockade" of the Red Sea will not stop in the short term, and global shipping will continue to be affected.
