根據 中國海關法, China Customs may protect intellectual property rights related to IMPORTING and EXPORTING goods according to laws and regulations.
什麼樣的智慧財產權可以受到中國海關的保護?
只有以下知識產權可以在中國海關註冊:商標(不包括服務商標)、專利(包括發明、實用和設計)和版權。

中國海關知識產權保護的類型?
主動式防護。
It needs to be REGISTERED with China Customs in advance. The Customs is entitled to detain suspected counterfeits and notify the IP owner proactively. The owner should apply with customs for detention and pay bond that is relatively low (up to 100,000 CNY) within 3 working days, and the Customs can investigate and determine if fake or not within 30 working days. If fack, the Customs will confiscate such goods and impose a penalty; if the Customs is unsure if fake or not, they should release the goods after 50 working days from the date of detaining if there is NO order from a court.
被動防護。
It does NOT need to be REGISTERED with China Customs in advance. The bond is relatively high (no less than the equivalent value of the goods). The customs can only detain (without investigation) on the request of the IP owners, and must release the goods after 20 working days from the date of detention if there is no order from the courts.
透過比較,可以得出主動保護能為智慧財產權人提供更有效的智慧財產權保護,但智慧財產權註冊應預先辦理。請參閱以下有關其流程的更多資訊:

主動式防護的流程。
1.向中國海關註冊您的知識產權
- 為什麼重要? 中國海關有權扣押涉嫌侵犯註冊知識產權的貨物。但是,他們只能在您的智慧財產權已向他們註冊的情況下才能採取行動。
- 該怎麼做?
- 向中國海關總署(GACC)註冊您的商標、版權和專利,通過 IP 註冊i濾水系統.在 官方指示.
- 提供有關您 IP 的詳細資訊,例如
- IP 所有者的身份證明;
- POA 如果知識產權擁有人在中國沒有住所,則需要中國律師;
- Certificates of IP (trademarks, patents, or copyrights; the evaluation report is additionally required where a utility model/ design is claimed);
- Photos/ images of the entire product or parts of the product.
- 註冊獲得批准後(自申請起 30 個工作日內),支付每項知識產權 800 元人民幣的註冊費。
- 每註冊十年後,應提供有效證明(如專利年費、技術知識更新證書)以更新知識產權,且無需支付任何官方費用。

2.監控海關行動
- 一旦您的智慧財產權獲得註冊,中國海關將積極監控進口和出口的侵權商品。
- 海關可以:
- 主動扣押貨物: 如果他們懷疑有侵權行為,他們會通知您進行驗證。
- 根據您的線報採取行動: 如果您知道有特定貨物或出口商/進口商侵犯您的 IP,您可以提醒海關。
3.提出拘留申請
- 如果海關發現疑似侵權貨物,他們會通知您。
- 扣留貨物:
- 在3個工作天內提出扣留申請並支付所需的保證金。
- 如有必要,請要求海關寄送侵權貨物的照片給您核實。
4. Seek the Final Punishment
- 扣留後,海關應在 30 個工作天內調查被扣留的貨物。
- 若海關無法判定貨物是否侵權,智慧財產權人應請求法院頒發禁制令或財產保全令,否則貨物將於扣留日起50個工作天內放行;
- 如果海關判定貨物為侵權貨物,則有權沒收該等貨物,並對相關收貨人或發貨人處以行政罰款(少於貨物價值的 30%)。
常見問題
文件是否應該合法化?
Generally, the customs do not require the notarization of ID proof, POA, translation, etc.
但如果中國海關懷疑文件的真實性,可能會要求進行公證。
