Alliance founded to fight online fakes

　　　　　 

A national intellectual property organization, founded by Chinese dotcom companies on Jan 20 and supported by the government, will step up the fight against both the online sale of counterfeit products and piracy to create an IP-friendly environment, its founders said. The alliance will also work to facilitate communication between governments and the industry, explore pressing issues facing the IP sector and increase international cooperation. Online retailer JD.com was elected as the first president of the alliance.
