On September 17, 2018, the "Seminar on the Success and Failure and Industrial Impact of the E-Commerce Law", sponsored by the Asia-pacific Institute for Cyber-law Studies, Beijing Normal University Law School and Beijing Wis & Weals Law Firm, was held at Beijing Normal University. The seminar was one of the series of academic activities organized by Wis & Weals to mark the 10th anniversary of its establishment.

The seminar was hosted by Professor Liu Deliang, Director of the Asia-pacific Institute for Cyber-law Studies and Law School of Beijing Normal University. Mr. Andy Yang, the managing partner of the firm, gave a keynote speech on the theme of “Intellectual Property Tort Liability of E-commerce Operators”. Combing the development process of the “notification-counter-notification” system, Mr. Andy Yang further explored the significance of this system provided for in the E-commerce Law. Mr. Andy Yang said: “Articles 42 and 43 of the E-commerce Law stipulate the "notification-counter-notification" system. This system was first introduced in Regulations on the Protection of the Right to Network Dissemination of Information in 2006, 12 years ago.

During these 12 years, neither the Tort Liability Act nor the judicial interpretations formulated by the Supreme People’s Court have confirmed the system. This system has re-adjusted the rights and obligations of intellectual property rights holders, e-commerce operators, and consumers, greatly reducing the platform's intellectual property infringement liability.”

Dozens of distinguished guests such as experts, scholars, and business representatives participated in this seminar to discuss issues that may be encountered in the implementation of the new E-Commerce Law. The on-site discussion at the seminar was overwhelming, and the seminar was successfully concluded in the wonderful conclusion of Professor Liu Deliang.
