美國再次將淘寶網列入惡名市場黑名單

The U.S. Trade Representative put Alibaba's Taobao on its blacklist for the second year in a row over suspected counterfeits sold on the shopping platform, a move the Chinese e-commerce giant said did not reflect its IP-protection efforts.
美國貿易代表辦公室以涉嫌在購物平臺上銷售假冒商品爲由，連續第二年將阿里巴巴旗下的淘寶網列入了黑名單，但該中國電子商務巨頭稱，此舉並不能反映其在保護知識產權方面所付出的努力。

Alibaba's hugely popular Taobao Marketplace is one of 25 online markets that along with 18 physical markets made the USTR's annual list of the world's most "notorious markets" for sales of pirated and counterfeit goods.
美國貿易代表辦公室以銷售盜版和假冒商品爲由，將25個在線市場和18家實體市場列入了年度“惡名市場”黑名單，阿里巴巴旗下備受歡迎的淘寶便是其中之一。

Taobao, China's largest ecommerce marketplace and its third-most popular website, stayed off the list from 2012 to 2015, but was included in 2016 and now again in 2017.
淘寶是中國最大的電商平臺，也是中國第三大熱門網站。在2012年至2015年期間，淘寶網並未被列入“惡名市場”黑名單，但在2016年和2017年卻連續上榜。

While Taobao's inclusion does not carry any direct penalties, it is a blow to Alibaba's efforts to shed perceptions that its sites are riddled with fakes and that its anti-piracy policies are inadequate.
雖然淘寶被列入黑名單不會帶來任何直接的懲罰，但這對於阿里巴巴爲擺脫假貨氾濫和反盜版政策執行不力的名聲所付出的努力而言，卻是一次沉重打擊。

"A high volume of infringing products reportedly continue to be offered for sale and sold on and stakeholders continue to report challenges and burdens associated with IP enforcement on the platform," the USTR said.
美國貿易代表辦公室表示：“據報道，大量侵權產品仍在淘寶網上線並出售，利益相關者仍報告在該平臺上維護自己知識產權面臨挑戰和承受較大負擔。”

Alibaba defended itself saying it had made using its IP protection programs easier, which led to an 11% increase in registries, and it also noted a 25% drop in takedown requests as it removed infringing listings even before they reached its marketplaces.
阿里巴巴方面則辯稱，公司已使其知識產權保護程序變得更簡捷，這也導致淘寶網的註冊用戶增加了11%，另外，該公司收到的有關讓侵權產品下線的請求已減少了25%，因爲一些侵權商品在上線之前已被下架。

"In light of all this, it's clear that no matter how much action we take and progress we make, the USTR is not actually interested in seeing tangible results," Alibaba Group President Michael Evans said in a statement.
阿里巴巴集團總裁邁克爾·埃文斯在一份聲明中表示：“有鑑於此，很明顯，無論我們採取了多少行動，取得了多大進展，美國貿易代表辦公室實際上並沒有興趣看到我們所取得的實實在在的成果。”
