On September 10th, Beijing Intellectual Property Court held a briefing on perjury punishment in administrative cases of trademark revocation review, released typical cases and made legal tips. The press conference reported the punishment of perjury in six administrative dispute cases of trademark revocation review, such as "JIAJIA and figures", and the majority of the cases were subject to the most severe punishment of the Administrative Litigation Law.

Meanwhile, the court announced five measures to regulate perjury: 

(I) intensifying the effort of examination on evidence and requiring trademark registrants to submit the original evidence of trademark usage; 

(II) voluntarily verifying the authenticity of evidence by use of the national official websites; 

(III) explaining the consequences of forging evidence and ordering the trademark registrant to make reasonable explanation for the inaccuracies; 

(IV) securing strict standards on evidence review and revoking the trademark for non-use of three consecutive years according to law; 

(V) dealing with perjury more strictly and implementing punishment according to law. 

In order to further regulate perjury and strengthen the whole-chain protection, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court suggested the trademark registrants improving trademark usage behavior and keeping evidences such as sales the contracts and corresponding invoices that can clearly show trademark logos and goods approved for usage, and the transaction snapshot or comments with pictures of e-commerce platforms. Relevant agencies should abide by professional ethics and create an honest litigation order together with trademark registrants.
