In the "applicant requirements" section, the phrase "overseas brand-holding company" will be changed to "overseas trademark owner.
Amend Article 6 "Application Information" by increasing the stringency of online document review requirements for point 11, which pertains to the sale of electronic cigarettes domestically.
The content related to "exported products" in the second subsection of the original sixth article regarding application materials has been removed.
The content regarding "Time Arrangement" in the original 14th article has been removed and replaced by "Filing Requirements". The content regarding "Contact Information" in the original 16th article has also been removed.
