Programs described in its return (2)
- THE MARKETSAFE EXPANSION PROGRAM (MSE) IS AN EXPANSION OF THE IACC MARKETSAFE PROGRAM. IT IS A FREE 1-YEAR PROGRAM OFFERED TO RIGHTS-HOLDERS AROUND THE WORLD, OF ALL SIZES, AIMED AT SUPPORTING THEIR IP ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS ON ALIBABA PLATFORMS. IT IS OPERATED THROUGH A NEW ONLINE PORTAL WITH ENHANCED PROCESSING AND ANALYTICAL TOOLS, AND OFFERS PARTICIPANTS AN EXPEDITED ROUTE TO A DIRECT RELATIONSHIP WITH ALIBABA AT THE END OF THE PROGRAM TERM. THE PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDES A RIGHTS-HOLDER WORKING GROUP AND A STREAMLINED MECHANISM FOR USING INFORMATION FROM ON-THE-GROUND ENFORCEMENT RAIDS TO FACILITATE SELLER PENALTIES ON ALIBABA'S PLATFORMS. THROUGH THE LONGSTANDING COLLABORATION BETWEEN IACC AND ALIBABA, THE IACC ENGAGES WITH MEMBER COMPANIES TO GATHER LISTINGS FOR INFRINGING ITEMS ON ALIBABA WEBSITES SUCH AS ALIEXPRESS.COM. AFTER RECEIVING THESE INFRINGING LISTINGS FROM IACC MEMBER COMPANIES, THE IACC THEN SUBMITS THESE LISTINGS TO ALIBABA WHERE THE LISTINGS ARE REMOVED FROM THE RESPECTIVE ALIBABA WEBSITE BY ALIBAB. THIS PROCESS ENHANCES EXISTING ENFORCEMENT EFFORTS FOR BOTH MEMBER COMPANIES AND ALIBABA THROUGH THESTREAMLINED APPROACH MADE POSSIBLE BY IACC'S PARTNERSHIP WITH ALIBABA.
