The State Administration for Market Regulation ("SAMR") recently issued the 2020 Legislative Plan (the "Plan").

The Plan touches upon contents in three aspects, including "scheduling legislative programs in a science-based and rational manner, with the focus on priorities regarding market regulation". Among others, the Plan states that seven laws and administrative regulations, including the Anti-Monopoly Law, the Product Quality Law and the Regulations on Commercial Registration, will be drawn up and submitted for review; among the 48 departmental rules to be enacted and revised are the Measures for the Implementation of the Administration of Enterprise Name Registration, the Interim Measures for Random Inspection on Information Publicized by Enterprises, and the Interim Provisions on Examination of Concentrations of Undertakings. Meanwhile, effective work will continue to support the deliberation of revisions to the Patent Law and the formulation and revision of the Administrative Provisions on the Registration of Enterprise Names, the Regulations on Individual Businesses and the Regulations on Supervision and Administration of Medical Devices.
