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
