China's revised trademark law has taken effect on Nov 1.
The revised law increased the upper limit of compensations that may be imposed on trademark infringement.
It also took action toward bad faith behaviors involving trademarks, such as malicious registration of trademarks and hoarding of registered trademarks.
In accordance with the amended law, "A bad faith trademark application for registration for a purpose other than use shall be rejected." In addition, trademark agencies should refuse to represent any applicant who attempts to file malicious registrations.
