Since the beginning of this year, the Guangxi Longzhou County Market Supervision Bureau has taken the investigation and handling of cases as the starting point, effectively solved the demands of people's livelihood, responded to social concerns, and focused on highlighting the key work of the "iron fist" action in the field of people's livelihood. From January to October, the county's market supervision system investigated and handled a total of 126 people's livelihood cases, with a total of 126 cases filed and 93 cases closed, with a case value of more than 185,000 yuan and fines and forfeitures of more than 261,400 yuan.
Let market supervision grow "teeth"
"It is really shocking, we must increase law enforcement, expose typical cases, severely punish illegal subjects, and let market supervision really grow 'teeth'." Liang Jinjie, head of the inspection and law enforcement unit of the Longzhou County Market Supervision and Administration Bureau, quickly swiped her finger on the mobile phone screen, browsing the typical case pictures and video information from the autonomous region and chongzuo city market supervision and management bureau, and could not help but sigh. The county market supervision and administration bureau is the leading department of the county's "iron fist" action, not only investigating and handling cases, but also responsible for collecting typical cases in the county, and specially establishing the "iron fist" action working group for this purpose.
In January 2021, the market supervision departments at the two levels of Chongzuo City and Longzhou County, together with the Autonomous Region Product Quality Inspection and Research Institute, conducted a sampling inspection of the "Jiajia Electric Light Cannon" fireworks and firecrackers to be sold by a fireworks and firecrackers company in the jurisdiction, and determined that the ignition line and ignition time in the sample did not meet the relevant standards, and the batch of fireworks could be identified as unqualified products. It is understood that the parties purchased 40,000 fireworks (200 pieces) from outside the district in May 2019, and 3,400 fireworks have been sold, with 36,600 hangings (183 pieces) remaining in inventory, and the value of the product is 64,000 yuan.
In the process of handling the case, law enforcement personnel take the initiative to explain to dealers the hazards of selling counterfeit and shoddy and illegal products, the legal responsibilities that should be borne after safety accidents, and the ways and methods of scientifically storing fireworks and firecrackers, requiring operators to purchase goods from formal channels and perform the obligation of inspection of incoming goods. After ascertaining the truth, the county market supervision and administration bureau confiscated 36,600 unqualified firecrackers (183 cases) and fined and confiscated a total of 69,360 yuan in accordance with the law.
"Law enforcement personnel have carried out the 'Iron Fist' operation with a serious attitude, a tough spirit, innovative methods, and pragmatic measures." Huang Zhigang, deputy director of the bureau in charge of inspection and law enforcement work, told this writer.
"Concentrating superior resources, accurately striking hard, and punishing them heavily according to law, the biggest highlight of the 'Iron Fist' operation is to investigate the case." Ma Bin, a cadre of the bureau's inspection and law enforcement unit, said. It is reported that since the second half of 2021, the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau has required each county (city, district) bureau to submit no less than 1 typical case per month, and finally select representative cases from it to be submitted to the Autonomous Region Bureau. Up to now, 4 typical cases have been submitted in accordance with relevant regulations and procedures.
Strike hard to rectify trademark infringement
On May 22, 2020, the "Regional Revitalization of Guizhou Liquor Industry Development Conference" hosted by the People's Government of Guangxi Autonomous Region was held in Nandan County, Hechi City, and the arrival of the "Iron Fist" action was opportune, through cracking down on illegal crimes and standardizing market order, to fully promote the high-quality development of liquor in Guangxi.
On July 28, 2021, the Longzhou County Market Supervision Bureau concentrated on the sale of counterfeit "Niulanshan" aged liquor produced by the company in our jurisdiction according to the tip of the niulanshan distillery of Beijing Shunxin Agricultural Co., Ltd. As of October this year, a total of 14 trademark infringement cases had been investigated and handled, 921 bottles of infringing "Niulanshan" aged liquor had been confiscated, and a total fine of 7,200 yuan had been imposed, effectively protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the right holders.
It is reported that in 2021, the "Iron Fist" action closely focuses on the prominent problems with the deepest public resentment, the most annoying and the greatest harm to the masses, close to the key industries closely related to the lives of the masses, combined with the actual situation of Longzhou County, concentrated law enforcement forces, gave play to the advantages of comprehensive law enforcement of market supervision, struck hard to increase punishment, and continued to release the deterrent effect.
The "Iron Fist" investigation and publicity attach equal importance to it
Attaching equal importance to investigation and publicity, and constantly deterring lawbreakers and warning operators is another highlight of Longzhou County's "Iron Fist" operation. To this end, the Longzhou County Market Supervision Bureau specially issued a publicity work plan, clarified the publicity work tasks, compacted the work responsibilities, and combined the publicity work with the law enforcement action with deployment, implementation, promotion, and supervision.
On the occasion of the 21st World Intellectual Property Day on April 26, 2021, the Office of the Leading Group for Combating Infringement and Counterfeiting in Longzhou County organized market supervision, public security, procuratorates, courts, ecological environment, tobacco monopoly, Shuikou Customs and other departments to carry out centralized and unified destruction of infringing and counterfeit materials, and destroyed 150 counterfeit tobacco products on the spot, with a value of 15,000 yuan.
In accordance with the relevant provisions of environmental protection, the centralized destruction activity carried out classified disposal of counterfeit cigarette products in accordance with the law, and the disposal methods such as dismantling, soaking and crushing were adopted for the attributes of the materials, and the destruction records were made in accordance with the law. Centralized destruction activities have effectively prevented infringing and counterfeit goods from flowing into the market again, avoided the "secondary circulation" and "secondary pollution" of infringing and counterfeit goods, and sounded the alarm for lawbreakers who manufacture and sell counterfeit goods.
While making full use of various propaganda means to expand propaganda, in order to interpret the law by case, popularize the law by case, and fully mobilize the enthusiasm of the whole society to participate in the propaganda, the Longzhou County Market Supervision and Administration Bureau has given full play to the role of the 12315 hotline, extensively collected clues from the source of the case, dug deep and thoroughly investigated, deterred the lawbreakers with the most severe punishment, warned the operators, effectively safeguarded the interests of the masses, and made the "iron fist" action a practical matter of serving the masses.
