On the morning of April 22, as the 24th World Intellectual Property Day approaches, the Supreme People's Court held a press conference to release the "Judicial Protection of Intellectual Property in Chinese Courts (2023)", the top 10 intellectual property cases in Chinese courts in 2023, and 50 typical intellectual property cases. Tao Kaiyuan, Vice President of the Supreme People's Court, attended the conference and introduced the overall situation of judicial protection of intellectual property in Chinese courts in 2023. Deng Guanghui, Secretary of the Party Group and Vice Chairman of the China Film Association, attended and introduced the "Protecting Intellectual Property to Assist Innovation and Creation" film short film collection activity. Lin Guanghai, President of the Third Civil Court of the Supreme People's Court, and He Zhonglin, Vice President of the Intellectual Property Court of the Supreme People's Court, attended and introduced the relevant work situation. Ji Zhongbiao, Deputy Director of the Information Bureau of the Supreme People's Court, presided over the press conference. Adhering to strict protection, deepening reform and innovation, Tao Kaiyuan introduced that last year, courts across the country received more than 540000 new cases of intellectual property, including first instance, second instance, and application for retrial. The number of completed cases was basically the same as the number of new cases received, an increase of 3.41% and 0.13% respectively compared to 2022. The people's court insists on strict protection and cracking down heavily on infringement and counterfeiting. Last year, courts across the country applied punitive damages in 319 cases of intellectual property infringement, with a compensation amount of 1.16 billion yuan. The Supreme People's Court has concluded the "Panpan" trademark infringement and unfair competition dispute case, and has applied four times punitive damages for malicious attachment to goodwill, with a compensation amount exceeding 100 million yuan. The People's Court adheres to active performance of its duties and actively explores distinctive governance models for intellectual property rights. The patent and technology secret infringement case of "melamine" was concluded, and on the basis of a compensation of 218 million yuan, a comprehensive settlement was facilitated during the execution. The infringing party obtained a usage license, and the rights holder was ultimately compensated 658 million yuan. We have successfully resolved a series of infringement lawsuits involving technology "unicorn" enterprises, facilitated a comprehensive settlement of over 10 patent disputes, and enabled innovative entities to focus on scientific research and development with ease. Tao Kaiyuan introduced that the People's Court continues to improve the professional trial system for intellectual property, deepen the reform of the national level appeal trial mechanism for intellectual property cases, explore and improve the specialized litigation system for intellectual property, and deepen the reform of the "three in one" trial mechanism. At present, 25 high courts, 242 middle courts, and 287 grassroots courts in China have orderly carried out centralized jurisdiction over intellectual property civil, administrative, and criminal cases. The courts in 12 cities including Tianjin, Inner Mongolia, and Zhejiang have fully implemented the "three in one" trial of intellectual property cases in their jurisdiction, effectively improving the overall efficiency of intellectual property judicial protection. Remembering the importance of serving new productive forces in the field of unified legal application, the Supreme People's Court has accelerated the drafting of judicial interpretations on antitrust, intellectual property criminal, trademark, and copyright, and conducted special research on issues such as data property protection and infringement of audiovisual works in hotels and homestays. In the past year, the Supreme People's Court has issued a total of 8 guiding cases for intellectual property protection, 10 typical cases of anti-monopoly and anti unfair competition, 8 typical cases of film intellectual property protection, and 15 typical cases of judicial protection of intellectual property in the seed industry. The people's court bears in mind the importance of the country and serves the development of new quality productive forces.
