The National Intellectual Property Administration of China (CNIPA) has rolled out a regulation to blacklist individuals and organizations that severely violate patent-related laws and regulations. The names of those blacklisted will also be published online and face various punishments. The regulation, scheduled to take effect on Dec 1, comes in response to a memorandum of understanding signed by 38 government departments in November 2018.
