Abstract

Against the backdrop of economic globalization and the rapid development of digital trade, cross-border e-commerce has become an important form of international trade. However, frequent intellectual property infringement issues have posed numerous challenges to traditional tracing methods. Research on the tracing of intellectual property infringement liability in cross-border e-commerce is of great significance. It can not only maintain market order, but also protect the legitimate rights and interests of right holders, and promote the healthy development of the industry. This paper sorts out the main forms of intellectual property infringement in cross-border e-commerce. These forms include trademark counterfeiting and imitation, patent infringement, and copyright piracy. At the same time, it summarizes the core difficulties of traditional tracing methods. These difficulties include information silos, evidence tampering, unclear liability subjects, and cross-border collaboration obstacles. In addition, this paper focuses on analyzing the immutability and traceability of blockchain technology and explores its application advantages in the tracing of infringement liability. On this basis, this paper further discusses the specific application paths of blockchain technology in intellectual property right confirmation, evidence preservation, and supply chains information transparency. Meanwhile, it points out the practical obstacles of blockchain in terms of technical implementation, legal protection, economic costs, and promotion and application. Overall, blockchain technology provides a new solution path for the tracing of intellectual property infringement liability in cross-border e-commerce. However, to achieve comprehensive promotion, it is still necessary to overcome various difficulties.
