Abstract:
Abstract: The Supreme People’s Court of China began publishing its Annual Report
on Intellectual Property Cases in 2008. The annual reports, published in April of each
year, summarize and review new intellectual property cases. This translation includes all
30 cases and 39 legal issues of the 2013 Annual Report. It addresses patent law,
trademark law, copyright law, unfair competition, contractual intellectual property rights,
liability of intellectual property infringement, and intellectual property litigation
procedure and evidence. While China is not a common law country, these cases and
guidelines provide lower courts with meaningful insight and direction.
