The WIPO Collection of Leading Judgments on Intellectual Property Rights will give the global intellectual property community access to landmark judgments from some of the most dynamic litigation jurisdictions of the world, in a succession of volumes that will illustrate intellectual property adjudication approaches and trends by jurisdiction or by theme. Technological transformations taking place throughout societies and economies worldwide are disrupting the existing intellectual property systems. The slow pace of the national and multilateral norm-setting processes means, however, that policymakers are not always able to provide solutions to the pressing questions that appear on the horizon. In this context, innovators and other actors in the intellectual property ecosystem are increasingly looking to the courts to resolve the culturally and economically significant questions that remain unanswered, with the effect that courts are playing a greater role in moulding the development of the intellectual property framework not only within their national borders, but also in the global economy. WIPO’s vision is to provide, through the WIPO Judicial Institute, a forum for the sharing of information and experiences amongst judiciaries, to support better understanding of complex intellectual property issues in a culturally, politically and socially diverse—and yet globalized—economy. WIPO is privileged to rely on the strong cooperation from judiciaries around the world to advance our collective knowledge about the state of the judicial administration of intellectual property. Indeed, this joint publication between the Supreme People’s Court (SPC) of the People’s Republic of China and the WIPO Judicial Institute is the fruit of such collaboration, featuring 30 representative judgments rendered by the SPC between 2011 and 2018. 6 Foreword China is an intellectual property powerhouse. As WIPO’s World Intellectual Property Indicators (WIPI) Report for 2019 found, China accounted for almost half of the world’s patent filings in 2018. China has been equally innovative in modernizing its intellectual property system, including in the area of the judicial administration of intellectual property. The country’s specialized intellectual property adjudication architecture, which was galvanized by the establishment of three specialized courts in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou in 2014, has expanded to comprise intellectual property tribunals in intermediate people’s courts in Nanjing and 20 other cities. Most recently, in January 2019, an Intellectual Property Court was established within the SPC to provide a national-level appeals mechanism for intellectual property cases. It is therefore a privilege to co-publish this volume together with the Supreme People’s Court of China. I hope that the WIPO Collection of Leading Judgments in Intellectual Property: People’s Republic of China (2011–2018), made available here in Chinese and English text, will make the significant jurisprudence built by the SPC more accessible to a broader readership, and assist judges, lawyers, academics and policymakers in understanding the judicial approaches that have been taken in China to address novel legal questions. Francis Gurry Director General World Intellectual Property Organization 7 Preface Fostering international judicial exchanges and cooperation towards a brighter future for intellectual property rights protection To protect intellectual property rights (IPR) is to protect individuals’ creativity and originality, to protect market forces, and to protect the drivers of a country’s innovation and development. Today’s world has welcomed a new era of technological revolution and industrial transformation that has had far-reaching impacts on human economic and social development, and that has introduced new challenges to, and opportunities for, IPR protection. The People’s Republic of China has committed to strengthening its IPR protection not only to fulfil its international obligations, but also as a prerequisite for establishing itself as an innovative country and for achieving its “Two Centenaries” modernization goals. China has consistently attached significance to IPR protection, and the Supreme People’s Court of China has been making efforts to improve and strengthen China’s IPR system, to clarify its standards of IPR protection and to perfect the judicial protection of IPR in China. In the last three decades, China has taken strides in the field of IPR protection: the number of IPR cases litigated has risen dramatically; the quality of and efficiency with which those cases are conducted has improved; the courts system and legal mechanisms are themselves being refined; and the judicial protection system is witnessing continuous improvement. The Chinese courts are playing a leading role in improving the protection of IPR – that is, in adjudicating typical IPR cases, formulating IPR decisions and policies, and issuing guiding cases, thereby contributing

  • Symbolism in the Forbidden City the Magnificent Design, Distinct Colors, and Lucky Numbers of China’S Imperial Palace by Jie Gao
    Traditional and Contemporary Asia: Numbers, Symbols, and Colors Symbolism in the Forbidden City The Magnificent Design, Distinct Colors, and Lucky Numbers of China’s Imperial Palace By Jie Gao The Forbidden City, the sprawling and imposing seat of Chinese Imperial power for almost 500 years, stands out in stark contrast against the ultramodern heart of contempo- rary Beijing. This United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)-designated World Heritage site is the largest intact wooden palace structure found anywhere on earth and has served as an open mu- seum of China’s history for almost a century. Along with the Great Wall, it is undeniably one of China’s most breath- taking tourist destinations and a must-see for any visitor to the Chinese capital. Here we explore the Forbidden City’s history and the thought process behind its design, outlin- ing the cultural significance of certain color and numerical elements found within the complex. The Forbidden City of Beijing, China. Source: © Songquan Deng/Shutterstock photo. 8 Education About ASIA Volume 21, Number 3 Winter 2016 9 Traditional and Contemporary Asia: Numbers, Symbols, and Colors Beijing had been the capital for various groups that held pow- HIStorY er in north China for centuries before the Forbidden City was constructed, but it did not become a truly national capital until the Mongols swept through China in the thirteenth century. The Yuan Dynasty (1271– 1368) chose Beijing, which translates as “Northern Capital,” as China’s seat of power in large part due to its proximity to the Mongol homelands to the north.

Ghenghis had conquered part of northern China in 1215, having already united the various nomadic tribes of the steppe land. He divided his empire into four kingdoms, each ruled and expanded by a son and his wife. Ghenghis' grandson, Kublai Khan (reigned 1260-94), was ruler of the eastern Great Khanate. He completed the conquest of China by defeating the Southern Song in 1279.

    Edited by Saunders, Ding, Chairman Xi Remakes the PLA hina’s current military reforms are unprecedented in their Scobell, Yang, and ambition and in the scale and scope of the organizational Wuthnow ASSESSING CHINESE MILITARY REFORMS Cchanges. Virtually every part of the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) now reports to different leaders, has had its mission and Chairman Xi Remakes the PLA Xi Remakes Chairman responsibilities changed, has lost or gained subordinate units, or has undergone a major internal reorganization. Drawing on papers presented at two conferences co-organized by the U.S. National Defense University, RAND, and Taiwan’s Council REFORMS MILITARY CHINESE ASSESSING of Advanced Policy Studies, this edited volume brings together some of the world’s best experts on the Chinese military to analyze the various dimensions of the reforms in detail and assess their implications for the PLA’s ability to conduct joint operations, for the Chinese Communist Party’s control of the army, and for civil-military integration. The contributors review the drivers and strategic context under- pinning the reform effort, explore the various dimensions of PLA efforts to build a force capable of conducting joint operations, con- sider the implications for the PLA services, and examine Xi Jinping’s role in driving the reforms through and using them to strengthen control over the military. The chapters chronicle successes and outstanding problems in the reform effort, and consider what the net effect will be as the PLA strives to become a “world- class” military by mid-century, if not much sooner.

  • Chapter Three Beijing: an Imperial Ideal City History the Foundation of the Present City Was Laid Over Seven Hundred Years
    Chapter Three Beijing: an Imperial Ideal City History The foundation of the present city was laid over seven hundred years. The earliest predecessor of Beijing was the primitive town of Ji, capital of Yan in the 11th century. Its location is now the northwest corner of the present Outer City. In 936, it was captured by the Liao (907-1125), who made it the secondary capital and renamed it Nanjing. After 1125, the Jin emperors made it their residence and enlarged the city, which they called Zhongdu, toward the east. Extensive rebuilding was carried out under the Jin, and grand palaces were erected. (Figure 3.3) The Mongols conquered the city in 1215 and burned the palaces. In 1264, a new capital city was rebuilt by the Mongols called Dadu (The Great Capital). The scheme of the new city plan was very close to the ancient rules set forth by the Chinese philosophers. It was rectangular in shape, with two gates to the north and three gates on each of the other three sides. Broad, straight roads ran between opposite pairs of gates, and the principal streets formed a chessboard design. Two important groups of buildings outside the imperial city were built according to philosopher’s plan : the temple of Ancestor inside the south gate of the east wall, and the Altar of earth and Grain inside the south gate of the west wall (Figure 3.1). The Ming Dynasty founded in 1368 had its first capital at present-day Nanjing. In 1421, the Ming emperor moved to Beijing. New palaces were built on the site of the old palace of Dad.
