In mid-November this year, the Office of the National Leading Group for Cracking Down on Intellectual Property Rights Infringement and the Manufacturing and Sale of Counterfeit and Shoddy Goods and the State Administration for Market Regulation led a nationwide unified destruction of infringing and shoddy goods, with the participation of 18 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) and simultaneous destruction
.
The provinces have cracked down on infringement and counterfeiting in key areas and varieties, effectively deterring and curbing the illegal trend of infringement and counterfeiting, effectively protecting the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises and consumers, and safeguarding market fairness

In the pharmaceutical equipment industry, counterfeiting and shoddy situations also occur frequently, which needs to attract the attention
of the industry and enterprises.
Just recently, a pharmaceutical machine company announced, "Recently, some customers have reported that individual companies and our company have a high degree of similarity, and the product models sold are similar to some of our original and existing models, causing confusion of information and product procurement losses to customers.
.
.
"
The company announced that the company's brand belongs to the brand in the field of testing instruments, and cases of infringement have occurred repeatedly, which not only hurts the brand image, but also brings great trouble to customers and causes different degrees of losses
.
It is understood that the current infringement of brands in the market can be said to be varied, including counterfeiting company names and company product models for publicity; Use of false logos that are highly similar to the company's instrument trademarks; Using old models that the company has eliminated to impersonate acquisitions to deceive customers; Forge the company's authorization, pretend to be in the name of the company on various platforms, obtain customer traffic and entrainment copycat products
.
These behaviors have reached the point of unscrupulousness, not only damaging the company's reputation and interests, suppressing the company's enthusiasm for innovation, but also making customers indignant
.
To this end, the company said that in order to eliminate the bad impact of infringement, the company defined 2022 as the year of cracking down on counterfeiting, and in the face of infringement, it is bound to fight a good battle for rights protection
.
"At the same time, we also advocate the legal operation of manufacturers in the same industry, orderly competition, and jointly create a fair and orderly pharmaceutical equipment market environment
.
"
Industry insiders said that safeguarding their own rights and interests is something that every company, including every employee
, needs to learn.
The provisions of national laws are to let everyone take up the weapon of the law to protect themselves when necessary, so it is never a waste of
time to protect their rights and interests.
For pharmaceutical equipment companies, due to the small, scattered and chaotic market, the current industry supervision is indeed more difficult, but this does not mean that enterprises can only "resign themselves to fate" and allow plagiarism and counterfeiting to go unpunished
.
As a technology-intensive industry, pharmaceutical equipment enterprises often involve a large number of intellectual property issues in the process of design and development, which require enterprises to pay more attention to and do a good job in related protection
.
At the same time, innovation is the new engine for achieving the "14th Five-Year Plan" and the long-term goal of 2035, in recent years, the innovation of domestic pharmaceutical equipment has been continuously improved, gradually from low-end to high-end fields, accelerate the pace of import substitution, and go out with strength
.
In this context, attaching importance to intellectual property protection is an unresolved issue
for industries and enterprises.
Policy support is also provided for the protection of intellectual property rights
.
In recent years, all provinces and cities have formulated relevant plans for intellectual property protection to create a better innovation environment
for the private industry.
For example, in July 2021, Guizhou Province issued the Implementation Opinions on Strengthening Intellectual Property Protection, building a work pattern of "strict protection, large protection, fast protection, and simultaneous protection" of intellectual property rights; In March 2021, Shanghai officially implemented the Shanghai Intellectual Property Protection Regulations, which focus on "strict protection" and "fast protection", and will increase compensation for infringement and intensify the crackdown on IPR infringement crimes
.
With the implementation of a series of policies, it is believed that the level of intellectual property protection in the industry, including the pharmaceutical equipment industry, will be further improved
