The Ministry of Commerce has published its work plan for the third quarter of the year, highlighting a crackdown on intellectual property right infringement and the production and selling of fake or forged goods.

Campaigns are being planned to deliver harsh penalties on IPR infringement of key commodities such as agricultural products, and activities online.

The ministry will also root out the masterminds behind IPR infringement as well as other economic crimes, helped by the establishment of a business system aimed at strengthening its ability to detect wrongdoing.
