About the Seminar

“Online advertisement: the final version of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Internet Advertising”

Description:

Considering the rapid growth of e-commerce and the recent legislative trend towards more consumer protection and encouraging fair competition, companies operating in China should be prepared for the new regulatory challenges.

On 4 July 2016, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce (SAIC) issued the final version of the Interim Measures for the Administration of Internet Advertising (互联网广告管理暂行办法). The interim measures will take effect beginning 1 September 2016 and supplement the Advertising Law of the People’s Republic of China 2015 (2015 Advertising Law). The SAIC circulated a draft of the interim measures in July 2015. The interim measures apply to all forms of direct or indirect commercial advertising in the form of text, image, audio, video or others through a website, webpage, internet application or other online media, including, for example, display ads, email solicitations and paid searches.

Language: English

The seminar shall take place in Shanghai at the beginning of September. The exact date and venue still to be confirmed.
