Watchdogs target online fakes

Online counterfeits and piracy have become targets of several IP watchdogs. Chai Haitao, deputy director of a national anti-counterfeit leadership office, said at a recent news conference that the office has increased its supervision of large shopping portals. The State Administration for Industry and Commerce also has its eyes on 254 large e-commerce websites nationwide. The State Intellectual Property Office has investigated more than 2,700 infringements during a campaign aimed at online violations this year.
