On 1st November 2019, China's Ministry of Justice (MOJ) released a draft version of Regulation on the Implementation of Foreign Investment Law. The Draft provides much-needed clarity on certain challenging issues in the Foreign Investment Law (FIL), such as how to reconcile the corporate structure of foreign investment enterprises during the transition period, while leaving certain areas for further clarification. In addition, further ramp up efforts to protection on IP rights, the Draft provides that China establishes the punitive compensation system for intellectual property infringement.
