Kamperman Sanders 2 Acknowledgements I have read all kinds of reference papers for my research work over these past years. Every time I reached the ‘Acknowledgements’ section of a paper, I almost heard the author cheering on account of a mission accomplished, because it is the section after which the author can be just as carefree as sailing a boat on a tranquil lake. Meanwhile, I always hoped my time would come so I could be relieved and have that feeling of being done and accomplished. When the time has come for me to write my own ‘Acknowledgements’ section, I do not have any feelings of freedom but of confidence. Looking back at the journey of my PhD study, I do not even know where to start, with thousands of thoughts in mind. Since enrolling in the PhD program with nothing but the passion for seeking knowledge, I am only now starting to achieve something after stumbling on with my persistent work and even more with the support and encouragement from many people along this journey. Firstly, I have to thank my PhD advisor Professor Maarten J. Kroeze for his insightful guidance. Professor Maarten Kroeze has not only knowledge but also has achieved a lot. I am not only amazed by his rigorous attitude regarding academic excellence, but also inspired by his spirit of treating daily work seriously. Emerging myself from such a strong influence of Professor Kroeze, I have learned from him how to be a dedicated hardworking scholar constantly seeking knowledge. I also have to thank Professor Tobias Cohen Jehoram. As a highly-respected distinguished professor with insight into the academic cutting edge, Professor Cohen Jehoram shared with me his broad academic resources without holding anything back, and provided instruction and introduced me to the area of intellectual property rights theory and practice. His dedicated guidance and full support made me fearless when I ran into obstacles during the work of my dissertation. I will always remember and cherish such an invaluable teacher- student friendship. Many thanks to the faculty body of the Law School and Erasmus University China Center, especially Ms. Tseng Weichia, Professor Yuwen Li, and Mr. Maarten Alexander Verbrugh for the support and encouragement I received during my study. Without their help, I am afraid that my overseas study experience would have been very hard. It is they who made me have no fear when traveling many times between two countries for my study. Meanwhile, I would also like to thank my Law School classmates who shared with me the hardship and happiness along my journey. Thanks to my supervisors and co-workers at Zhejiang Shuren University. Without their support I could not have completed my PhD study. I am especially thankful to Professor Yueyu Xu, Associate Professor Liying Xiang, and Ms. Fen Wang for their enormous support that makes feel full of energy. Special thanks to my beloved parents. Your consistent support and dedication encouraged me to chase my dream and fully experience my life. My heart is always with you wherever I go. Although my father is resting in heaven and cannot be here to witness my achievement as he had expected, I am sure he is seeing this from above. I am a little bit relieved when thinking of this. iii 3 Many special thanks to my dear husband Xiaopeng Yu and my lovely daughter Yijie Yu. My husband has provided tremendous support during my research work. He sacrificed a great deal to prevent me from being disturbed by taking care of the family and our daughter. As a member of the family, he did simple chores, reminding me of the fortune and happiness brought by our marriage. It has been several years and our daughter has grown from a baby to a happy and energetic elementary grade student. After all, life is so simple and beautiful, and full of moments that are worth every penny to cherish. This book is dedicated to every other person in my life who has helped me, influenced me, and motivated me. My life has been so wonderful because of you.

  • PATENT LITIGATION in CHINA: CHALLENGING CONVENTIONAL WISDOM Renjun Bian†

    PATENT LITIGATION in CHINA: CHALLENGING CONVENTIONAL WISDOM Renjun Bian†

    PATENT LITIGATION IN CHINA: CHALLENGING CONVENTIONAL WISDOM Renjun Bian† ABSTRACT The People’s Republic of China has become a world leader in both patent applications and patent litigation after the Chinese government enacted new policies to stimulate domestic innovation and patent activities. These major developments have made China an integral venue of international patent protection for inventors and entrepreneurs. However, due to the lack of judicial transparency before 2014, most people had virtually no access to Chinese patent litigation data and knew little about how Chinese courts adjudicated patent cases. Instead, outside observers were left with a variety of impressions and had to guess how the courts adjudicates these cases based on the plain texts of the Chinese Patent Law and the limited number of cases released by the press. However, starting January 1, 2014, China mandated public access to all judgments via a database called China Judgements Online (CJO), making empirical studies possible. This Article analyzes all publicly available final patent infringement cases decided by local People’s Courts in 2014. Surprisingly, findings in this Article contradict the long-standing beliefs held by many people about patent enforcement in China. One prominent example is that foreign patent holders were as likely as domestic patent holders to litigate and foreign patent holders received noticeably better results—specifically, higher win rates, injunction rates, and average damages. Another example is that plaintiffs won in 80.16% of all patent infringement cases and automatically got permanent injunctions in 90.25% of cases where courts found patent infringement. These new findings indicate that patent protection in China is stronger than once believed.

This report focuses on the current and future situation of energy production and consumption in China and how China is coping with its increasing domestic energy demand. Today, coal is the most important energy resource, followed by oil and hydropower. Most energy resources are located in the inland, whereas the main demand for energy is in the coastal areas, which makes transportation and transmission of energy vital. The industrial sector is the main driver of the energy consumption in China, but the transport sector and the residential sector will increase their share of consumption by 2020.

    China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States

    Order Code RL32688 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Updated April 4, 2006 Bruce Vaughn (Coordinator) Analyst in Southeast and South Asian Affairs Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Wayne M. Morrison Specialist in International Trade and Finance Foreign Affairs, Defense, and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress China-Southeast Asia Relations: Trends, Issues, and Implications for the United States Summary Southeast Asia has been considered by some to be a region of relatively low priority in U.S. foreign and security policy. The war against terror has changed that and brought renewed U.S. attention to Southeast Asia, especially to countries afflicted by Islamic radicalism. To some, this renewed focus, driven by the war against terror, has come at the expense of attention to other key regional issues such as China’s rapidly expanding engagement with the region. Some fear that rising Chinese influence in Southeast Asia has come at the expense of U.S. ties with the region, while others view Beijing’s increasing regional influence as largely a natural consequence of China’s economic dynamism. China’s developing relationship with Southeast Asia is undergoing a significant shift. This will likely have implications for United States’ interests in the region. While the United States has been focused on Iraq and Afghanistan, China has been evolving its external engagement with its neighbors, particularly in Southeast Asia. In the 1990s, China was perceived as a threat to its Southeast Asian neighbors in part due to its conflicting territorial claims over the South China Sea and past support of communist insurgency.

However, anti-competitive restrictions imposed on technology transfers not only severely restrict or eliminate the competition but also limit the technological advancement of China.

DOI: 10.1002/hec.1511 REGIONAL INEQUALITY IN CHINA’S HEALTH CARE EXPENDITURES WIN LIN CHOUa,Ã and ZIJUN WANGb aDepartment of Economics, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong and National Chiao Tung University, Taiwan bPrivate Enterprise Research Center, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX, USA SUMMARY This paper has two parts. The first part examines the regional health expenditure inequality in China by testing two hypotheses on health expenditure convergence. Cross-section regressions and cluster analysis are used to study the health expenditure convergence and to identify convergence clusters. We find no single nationwide convergence, only convergence by cluster. In the second part of the paper, we investigate the long-run relationship between health expenditure inequality, income inequality, and provincial government budget deficits (BD) by using new panel cointegration tests with health expenditure data in China’s urban and rural areas. We find that the income inequality and real provincial government BD are useful in explaining the disparity in health expenditure prevailing between urban and rural areas. In order to reduce health-spending inequality, one long-run policy suggestion from our findings is for the government to implement more rapid economic development and stronger financing schemes in poorer rural areas.

    Creating a “model” utility model patent system A comparative analysis of the utility model patent systems in Europe and China WWW. IPKEY.ORG Creating a “model” utility model patent system: A comparative analysis of the utility model patent systems in Europe and China Dan Prud’homme December 2014 Abstract: Although it is difficult to create an optimal “model” of the exact types of every aspect of every country’s utility model patent system, this study illustrates that it is possible to create a useful legal, policy, and institutional framework based upon an understanding of the statutory, procedural, and institutional composition of utility model systems in Austria, China, the Czech Republic, Finland, France, Germany, and Italy; reasons behind the composition, including any revisions to, these systems; and usage of the systems. It also briefly discusses relevant experiences of Belgium and the Netherlands. Keywords: utility model patent systems, comparative analysis, Europe, China, substantive law, procedural law, institutions, patent quality, innovation ABOUT THIS STUDY, AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study is part of an ongoing activity on utility model patent (hereafter abbreviated as “utility model”) systems under the “IP Key” Project (short for “Intellectual Property: A Key to Sustainable Competiveness”) – a three-year project with multiple activities every year, running from 2013-2016. The project is funded by the European Commission and the Office for Harmonization in the Internal Market (OHIM), and implemented by OHIM with support from the European Patent Office (EPO). It serves as the vehicle for implementing the Administration Agreement on the New EU-China Cooperation on Intellectual Property signed in July 2013 between the European Union and the Government of the People’s Republic of China.
