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.
