The Beijing High People's Court issued seven typical cases involving the protection of intellectual property rights in fine traditional Chinese culture


In order to thoroughly implement the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council on comprehensively strengthening intellectual property protection, unify law enforcement standards, and standardize the calculation of illegal operating amounts, the "Measures for Calculating the Illegal Operating Amount in Trademark Infringement Cases" have been formulated according to the "Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China", the "Implementing Regulations of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China", and other regulations.


The "Measures for Calculating the Illegal Operating Amount in Trademark Infringement Cases" apply to trademark administrative law enforcement departments when dealing with trademark infringement cases where the party's conduct has been deemed to constitute trademark infringement. According to Article 5 of these measures, the value of infringing goods that have been sold is calculated based on the actual sales price. 


The value of infringing goods that have not been sold is calculated based on the average actual sales price of the infringing goods that have been identified; if the average actual sales price cannot be ascertained, it is calculated based on the listed price of the infringing goods. If the actual sales price cannot be ascertained or the infringing goods are not priced, it is calculated based on the market median price of the infringed goods during the infringement period. For goods that have been manufactured but have not yet been affixed with infringing registered trademark logos, if there is conclusive and sufficient evidence to prove that the goods will infringe upon the exclusive right to use a registered trademark of others, their value shall be included in the illegal operating amount.


ZLWD Commentary:

The typical cases released by the Beijing High People's Court highlight the legal adaptability and challenges of intellectual property protection for traditional culture in the digital age. Through the ruling on the copyright dispute over panoramic images of the Forbidden City, the court emphasized the need for more detailed and forward-looking definitions of intellectual property when traditional culture intersects with modern technology. This underscores the judiciary's adaptability in protecting cultural digitization and reflects how the law can effectively support the dissemination and protection of outstanding Chinese traditional culture amidst the increasing number of digital cultural products.

The Office of the Inter-Ministerial Joint Conference on Building China into a Strong Intellectual Property Nation has released the "Development Report on the Construction of an Intellectual Property Power (2024)"


The Outline for Building a Strong Intellectual Property Nation (2021–2035) and the 14th Five-Year National Plan for Intellectual Property Protection and Utilization set a series of key targets for intellectual property development in China during the 14th Five-Year Plan period. According to the Development Report on the Construction of an Intellectual Property Power (2024), eight anticipated indicators showed significant growth or remained at high levels in 2023, demonstrating overall smooth progress. These indicators include:  

1. Number of high-value invention patents per 10,000 people (units).  

2. Number of overseas invention patents granted (in 10,000 units).  

3. Registered amount of intellectual property pledge financing (in 100 million RMB).  

4. Annual total imports and exports of intellectual property royalties (in 100 million RMB).

6. Added value of copyright industries as a proportion of GDP (%).  

7. Public satisfaction with intellectual property protection (score).  

8. Rate of settlement of first-instance civil intellectual property cases without appeal (%).


ZLWD Commentary:

The Development Report on the Construction of an Intellectual Property Power (2024) showcases China's steady progress in the field of intellectual property, particularly with significant growth in patent numbers, pledge financing, and the contribution of the copyright industry. This not only reflects the effectiveness of policies but also enhances China's position in global intellectual property competition. However, with the changing international environment, maintaining these achievements and further advancing the practical application and protection of intellectual property will remain key to future development.




国家知识产权局与市场监管总局联合发布《商标侵权案件违法经营额计算方法》

根据《商标侵权案件违法经营额计算方法》(下称《计算方法》),违法经营额是指当事人实施商标侵权行为所涉及的侵权商品价值总额或者因侵权所产生的营业收入。原则上,对于已销售的侵权商品,按照实际销售价格计算价值;对于未销售的侵权商品,按照已查清侵权商品的实际销售平均价格、标价、侵权发生期间的市场中间价格的顺位计算。

除一般情形外,《计算方法》还明确了包工包料的加工承揽经营活动、免费赠品、翻新商品、零配件侵权等特定情形下的违法经营额计算方法,在总体遵循上述基本原则的同时,对一些特殊的计算方法进行了明确。例如,包工包料的加工承揽经营活动中,侵权商品未独立计价时,可按照侵权商品在全部活动中的价值比例计算,再如免费赠品按其实际购入价格或者制造成本计算。


文德短评:

《商标侵权案件违法经营额计算方法》的发布为商标侵权案件中的赔偿计算提供了更加明确和细化的标准,尤其是对特殊情形下的违法经营额计算进行了详细规定。这一举措有助于提升商标侵权案件处理的透明度和公正性,确保赔偿金额更加合理与准确。随着电子商务和跨境交易的发展,相关的计算方法也需要进一步适应新兴市场和技术的变化。



The National Intellectual Property Administration (NIPA) and the State Administration for Market Regulation (SAMR) jointly released the "Calculation Method for the Illegal Operating Amount in Trademark Infringement Cases"


According to the "Calculation Method for the Illegal Operating Amount in Trademark Infringement Cases" (hereinafter referred to as the "Calculation Method"), the illegal operating amount refers to the total value of the infringing goods or the revenue generated from sales due to the trademark infringement. In principle, for infringing goods that have been sold, the value is calculated based on the actual sale price. For unsold infringing goods, the value is calculated based on the actual average sale price of the infringing goods, the marked price, or the market intermediate price during the infringement period, in order of priority.

 

In addition to general cases, the "Calculation Method" also specifies how to calculate the illegal operating amount in certain special cases, such as processing and contracting activities that include both labor and materials, free gifts, refurbished goods, and spare parts infringements. While generally adhering to the above basic principles, the method also clarifies specific calculations for such cases. For example, in processing and contracting activities, if the infringing goods are not priced separately, their value can be calculated based on their proportion in the overall activity. For free gifts, the calculation is based on their actual purchase price or manufacturing cost.


ZLWD Commentary:

The release of the "Calculation Method for the Illegal Operating Amount in Trademark Infringement Cases" provides clearer and more detailed standards for calculating compensation in trademark infringement cases, particularly by specifying methods for determining the illegal operating amount in special circumstances. This initiative helps enhance the transparency and fairness of handling trademark infringement cases, ensuring that compensation amounts are more reasonable and accurate. As e-commerce and cross-border transactions continue to grow, the relevant calculation methods will also need to adapt further to the evolving dynamics of emerging markets and technologies.




最高人民法院知识产权法庭发布案例分析:专利权转让对专利侵权诉讼中原专利权人诉讼主体资格及诉讼请求的影响

最高人民法院在(2022)最高法知民终1923号案例中明确:专利侵权诉讼过程中发生专利权转让,原专利权人作为该案原告的诉讼主体资格不受影响;如认定被告构成侵害专利权的,应当依法支持原专利权人关于停止侵害的诉讼请求,但被告能够证明其已获得专利权受让人许可的除外。 

本案原告陈某于2019年1月4日获得涉案专利的授权,主张深圳某科技公司未经其许可销售、许诺销售某产品的行为侵害了其享有的实用新型专利权。但在一审庭审后,涉案专利权利人由陈某变更为案外人王某某。因此,一审法院在认定深圳某科技公司构成对涉案专利权的侵害的同时,以陈某非涉案专利权人为由,不予支持其关于判令深圳某科技公司停止侵权的诉讼请求。

最高人民法院经审理后明确,根据民事诉讼法司法解释第249条的规定,在侵害专利权纠纷诉讼过程中专利权发生转让的,原专利权人作为该案原告的诉讼主体资格不受影响,该案生效裁判对专利权受让人具有拘束力。人民法院认定侵害专利权的,应当依法支持原专利权人关于判令被告停止侵害的诉讼请求,但被告能够证明其已获得专利权受让人许可的除外。在本案中,虽然一审庭审后涉案专利权利人由陈某变更为王某某,但不能仅因专利权人发生变化而不予支持陈某关于停止侵害的诉讼请求,而应当按照民事诉讼法司法解释第二百四十九条的规定,使陈某的全部诉讼主张,行为及后果都及于王某某,以保护专利权人的合法权益,保障诉讼程序的顺利进行。


文德短评 :

最高人民法院对专利权转让在侵权诉讼中的影响进行了明确阐释,强调了即使在专利权转让后,原专利权人仍可以继续作为诉讼主体,并维持其对停止侵权的请求。这一判决增强了诉讼的稳定性和连续性,避免了因权利转移导致诉讼程序中断或复杂化的情况,有助于保护原专利权人的合法权益。这一判决也提醒我们,在涉及专利权转让时,法院需要细致考量转让方与受让方之间的许可情况,以确保不影响被告的合法防御权。



The Intellectual Property Court of the Supreme People's Court has released a case analysis on "The Impact of Patent Assignment on the Litigation Subject Qualification and Claims of the Original Patent Holder in Patent Infringement Lawsuits"


In the case (2022) Supreme Court Intellectual Property Civil Final No. 1923, the Supreme People's Court clarified that if a patent assignment occurs during a patent infringement lawsuit, the original patent holder's qualification as the plaintiff is not affected. If it is determined that the defendant has infringed on the patent, the court should support the original patent holder's request to stop the infringement, unless the defendant can prove that they have obtained authorization from the assignee of the patent.

 

In this case, the plaintiff Chen obtained the patent authorization for the involved patent on January 4, 2019, and claimed that a certain technology company in Shenzhen had infringed on his utility model patent rights by selling and promising to sell a product without his permission. However, after the first trial, the patent holder was changed from Chen to Wang, a third party. As a result, the first-instance court, while finding that the Shenzhen technology company had infringed on the involved patent, refused to support Chen's request to order the company to cease the infringement, on the grounds that Chen was no longer the patent holder.

 

After reviewing the case, the Supreme People's Court clarified that, according to Article 249 of the Judicial Interpretation of the Civil Procedure Law, when a patent is transferred during a patent infringement lawsuit, the original patent holder’s qualification as the plaintiff is not affected. The final judgment of the case is binding on the patent assignee. If the court finds patent infringement, it should, in accordance with the law, support the original patent holder's request for the defendant to cease the infringement, unless the defendant can prove that they have obtained authorization from the patent assignee. In this case, although the patent holder was changed from Chen to Wang after the first trial, the court should not deny Chen's request to stop the infringement solely because of the change in the patent holder. Instead, the court should apply Article 249 of the Judicial Interpretation of the Civil Procedure Law, treating all of Chen's claims, actions, and consequences as also applying to Wang, to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the patent holder and ensure the smooth progress of the litigation.


ZLWD Commentary:

The Supreme Peoples Court has clearly explained the impact of patent right transfer in infringement litigation, emphasizing that even after the transfer of patent right, the original patentee can continue to be the subject of litigation, and maintain its request to stop infringement. This judgment enhances the stability and continuity of litigation, avoids the interruption or complexity of litigation proceedings caused by the transfer of rights, and helps to protect the legitimate rights and interests of the original patentee. This decision also reminds us that when the transfer of patent rights involves, the court needs to carefully consider the licensing situation between the transferor and the transferee to ensure that the defendants legal right of defense is not affected.

The 12 Provincial and municipal Intellectual Property Administrative Protection Cooperation Conference was held in Chongqing


On November 7, the Intellectual Property Administrative Protection Cooperation Conference of twelve provinces and municipalities was held in Chongqing. At the meeting, 160 intellectual property infringement leads were transferred on-site, and the third batch of key trademark protection lists (359 items) and the second batch of key geographical indication protection lists (222 items) were announced.

 

To deepen regional cooperation in intellectual property administrative protection and strengthen law enforcement mutual assistance, regulatory interaction, information sharing, and resource connectivity among provinces and municipalities, the Intellectual Property Administrative Protection Cooperation Mechanism was established in 2019 in Shanghai.

These twelve provinces and municipalities are located in key regions such as the Yangtze River Economic Belt, Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei, and the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, which are among the most economically dynamic, open, and innovative areas in China. These regions also have the highest concentration of intellectual property industries in the country. Over the past five years, the collaboration among the intellectual property departments of these twelve provinces and municipalities has deepened, institutionalizing regional protection work exchanges, normalizing the transfer of infringement leads, and frequently coordinating case investigations. This has led to significant progress and results, playing an increasingly important role in regional intellectual property protection cooperation.

Through regular transfers of infringement leads and the release of key protection lists, the local intellectual property offices have established a closely knit cooperation network, achieving significant results in combating infringement and protecting innovative outcomes. The content of the meeting also highlights that, with the expansion of cooperation, regional intellectual property protection will become more comprehensive, covering a wider range of fields, from fast-tracking rights acquisition to overseas protection. The continuous improvement of the cooperation mechanism provides strong support for creating a fair competitive market environment.

The CNIPA and the Office of the State Administration for Market Regulation have jointly issued a notice to strengthen and advance credit supervision in the field of intellectual property


To thoroughly implement the directives of the Party Central Committee and the State Council, as well as the resolutions from the Third Plenary Session of the 20th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China emphasizing the improvement of the social credit system and regulatory mechanisms, NIPA and SAMR have jointly issued the Notice on Improving Credit Regulation in the Field of Intellectual Property (the "Notice"). The document outlines ten specific measures aimed at enhancing credit regulation within the intellectual property domain.


The Notice specifies measures across several key areas. For credit information collection, a robust framework should be established, including local catalogs and management standards for intellectual property credit information. Regarding credit commitments, a comprehensive system must be implemented, with enhanced post-commitment supervision. Actions such as breaching commitments or submitting false information will be categorized as dishonest behavior under legal provisions.


In hierarchical and categorized regulation, tailored evaluation systems for intellectual property credit should be developed locally, supporting systematic credit evaluations. For credit constraints and incentives, legal mechanisms will enforce both penalties for dishonesty and rewards for integrity, with cross-departmental and cross-regional coordination to deter recurring dishonest practices. Platforms like the National Enterprise Credit Information Publicity System and the Credit China website will be utilized to incentivize entities with good credit records.


Credit repair processes will also be facilitated, providing dishonest entities with pathways to rectify their records. In key areas, regulatory efforts will focus on deliberate intellectual property infringements, with violators listed in serious illegal and dishonest blacklists per legal requirements.

The issuance of the Notice will guide local authorities in advancing credit regulation in the intellectual property sector, fostering strengthened protection mechanisms and cultivating a fair, competitive, honest, and legally compliant market environment.


ZLWD Commentary:

The issuance of the "Notice on Improving Credit Regulation in the Field of Intellectual Property" has a positive impact on improving the credit regulation system in the intellectual property field, enhancing the level of intellectual property protection, creating a fair competitive market environment, promoting the construction of the social credit system, enhancing the sense of gain for market entities, and driving the development of local intellectual property work.
