State Administration for Market Regulation

The State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) is the People's Republic of China's governmental authority for regulating areas such as market competition, monopolies, intellectual property, and drug safety. The Administration was created in the 2018 Chinese overhaul of government administration, and merged or abolished a number of previous agencies, such as the State Intellectual Property Office.[1][2]
