3 1 Franchise Legal Regime in China
4 Franchise Regulations and Rules There are 3 major franchise regulations: 1)Administrative Regulations on Commercial Franchising (promulgated by the State Council on 6 February 2007 and effective as of 1 May 2007) ("Franchising Regulations"); 2)Administrative Measures for the Record Filing of Commercial Franchises (promulgated by MOCFOM and effective as of 1 February 2012) ("Filing Measures"); and 3)Administrative Measures for Information Disclosure of Commercial Franchises (promulgated by MOFCOM and effective as of 1 April 2012) ("Disclosure Measures"). The Ministry of Commerce ("MOFCOM") and its local counterparts are the government agencies that primarily regulate the offer and sale of franchises.

5 2 Key Requirements for Offering Franchises in China
6 Are there requirements that must be met if a franchisor intends to offer franchises in China? Yes, the following requirements must be met by franchisors who plan to offer franchises in China: have the capability of providing continuing services to franchisees, which include operational instructions, technical support and business training, etc.; have a mature business model; have owned and operated two units for at least one year somewhere in the world ("2+1 requirement"); and have at least one registration certificate issued by China for trademark rights, patent rights or other business operation resources related to franchise activities (not a pre-sales requirement but needs to be planned at least 1 year early before officially entering into the China market). Insert date with Firm Tools > Change Presentation 5
7 2+1 Requirement Requirement under the Franchising Regulations: Franchisors must have owned and operated at least two units under the franchise brand for at least one year (exemption for hotel operators). Administrative practice in the past: the two company units be the ones which are either directly owned by the franchisor or by an affiliate-one level up only; administrative practice changed in 2015 and the two units operated by the parent company had been no longer acceptable as a general rule (exemptions were granted to certain franchisors).

8 2+1 Requirement Current practice: The two units owned by the parent company of the franchisor and other affiliates may satisfy the requirement as a general rule (with a majority equity interest requirement down the chain). Accepted structure Insert date with Firm Tools > Change Presentation 7

10 Registration of Business Resources (IP) In addition to the 2+1 requirement, another regulatory requirement which may be a big obstacle for the franchisor to comply with the franchise rules in China is, the franchisor, when it applies for franchise filing with MOFCOM (within 15 days of signing the franchise agreement), must provide at least one registration certificate issued by China for trademark rights, patent rights or other business operation resources related to franchise activities. a Chinese trademark certificate is most acceptable by MOFCOM in practice; recent relaxation (may be subject to change): copyright registration + Notification of Acceptance for New Trademark Application (in Chinese 商标申请受理通知书 ); the franchisor does not have to be the owner of the registered right, it could be a licensee in which case the license agreement is required; a new requirement as of February 2017: the IP right has been obtained at least 1 year prior to the filing (negotiable).
