Draft Amendments to Trademark and Copyright Act Approved


On January 20, 2022, Taiwan's Cabinet approved draft amendments to the Trademark Act and Copyright Act to provide better protection for intellectual property right owners. The submission of these amendments by the TIPO is a necessary step for joining the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) trade pact.

The draft amendments would allow prosecutors to investigate a broader range of copyright or trademark infringement cases. For example, the draft amendments to the Trademark Act remove the word "knowingly" from the current law, meaning that even unintentional and negligent infringement can be considered infringement.
