Intellectual Property Risks and Countermeasures in Cross-Border E-Commerce

Cross-border e-commerce has experienced rapid development driven by globalization trends, emerging as a significant force propelling international trade and economic growth. However, with the intensification of legal, cultural differences, and technological changes across nations, intellectual property issues in the cross-border e-commerce sector have become increasingly prominent. Intellectual property serves as the core of business innovation and market competition; any infringement thereof can lead to substantial financial losses for enterprises and erode market trust and brand reputation. Cross-border e-commerce enterprises face multifaceted intellectual property risks, including infringement, brand theft, and data leakage, particularly within differing legal systems, complicating these issues further. The protection of intellectual property is not only crucial for safeguarding corporate interests but also a necessary prerequisite for ensuring the healthy development of the global market. In response, cross-border e-commerce enterprises must adopt proactive measures, ranging from institutional construction to enhancing user awareness, to comprehensively address intellectual property risks and ensure their competitiveness and sustainable development in the international market.
