The judicial interpretation of China's Anti-unfair Competition Law(中华人民共和国反不正当竞争法) made by the Supreme People's Court came into effect on February 1 2007.

"The SPC's judicial interpretation is based on the court proceedings of numerous unfair competition cases heard over the last decade," an SPC spokesman told Xinhua.

The new interpretation covers areas such as counterfeiting, false or exaggerated advertising claims, commercial secret infringement and slander. According to Xinhua, the interpretation has been made to protect the intellectual property of well-known brands and products.
