Alert Regarding Important IP Litigation Development in China
The Supreme People's Court of China submitted a proposal for handling appeals of IP related cases directly within a division/department of the Chinese Supreme Court ( 关于专利等案件诉讼程序若干问题的决定(草案)) during the recent NPC (National People's Congress) Standing Committee meeting. This new change will apply to cases from the specialized IP Courts and the other Intermediate Courts.
