Alibaba Group Published 2019 IPR Report

Alibaba Group's intellectual property rights-protection efforts showed continued improvements last year, according to the 2019 IPR Report.

The Report noted that these improvements are the result of a combination of ever-improving technologies and close partnerships with brands and other external stakeholders.

With reference to the report, the most significant results achieved are the following:

• 96% of proactively removed listings having been eliminated before a single sale took place.
• 96% of removal requests submitted through Alibaba's online Intellectual Property Protection Platform (IPP Platform) were processed within 24 hours.
• There was a 20% year-on-year increase in the number of registered users on the IPP Platform.
