Please keep your account and password information secure, to avoid possible legal disputes caused by account and password disclosure.

IPR protection

Exhibitors should ensure that no exhibit infringes on another party's intellectual property rights:

Do not upload or use illegal products. Make sure that all uploaded materials including pictures and videos comply with the relevant laws and regulations, and in no way infringe on IPR or other legal rights such as portrait rights and enterprise naming rights.

Enterprises should double-check any products produced by a third party and ensure the information uploaded does not infringe on others' rights.

Enterprises can add watermarks or Logos on their pictures to avoid them being misappropriated. They should also attach IPR certification, patent certification and other certification to the exhibit information where possible.

Please follow the rules and procedures for handling IPR complaints published on the official website, and cooperate where required.
