2010年，江蘇法院緊緊圍繞科學(xué)發(fā)展主題和加快轉(zhuǎn)變經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展方式主線，全面加強(qiáng)審判工作，深入推進(jìn)社會(huì)矛盾化解、社會(huì)管理創(chuàng)新、公正廉潔執(zhí)法三項(xiàng)重點(diǎn)工作，積極實(shí)施國(guó)家和省知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)戰(zhàn)略綱要，知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)司法保護(hù)工作取得了新的進(jìn)展，為創(chuàng)新型國(guó)家和創(chuàng)新型省份建設(shè)提供了堅(jiān)強(qiáng)有力的司法保障。

　　一、依法服務(wù)經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展大局，深入貫徹實(shí)施國(guó)家和省知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)戰(zhàn)略

　　全省法院始終堅(jiān)持能動(dòng)司法，積極應(yīng)對(duì)后金融危機(jī)時(shí)期的各方面變化，依法調(diào)處知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)糾紛，促進(jìn)加快經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展方式轉(zhuǎn)變，維護(hù)市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)秩序，為經(jīng)濟(jì)社會(huì)發(fā)展提供有力司法保障和良好法律服務(wù)。

　　一是及時(shí)制定規(guī)范性意見，服務(wù)經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展方式轉(zhuǎn)變。省法院先后出臺(tái)《關(guān)于為我省加快轉(zhuǎn)變經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展方式提供司法保障的意見》、《關(guān)于為促進(jìn)我省中小民營(yíng)企業(yè)健康發(fā)展提供司法保障的意見》等規(guī)范性文件，其中專門就服務(wù)創(chuàng)新型經(jīng)濟(jì)建設(shè)、增強(qiáng)企業(yè)市場(chǎng)核心競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力及風(fēng)險(xiǎn)防范能力等知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)問題提出指導(dǎo)意見。各地法院結(jié)合本地實(shí)際，充分發(fā)揮司法保障與引導(dǎo)作用，先后出臺(tái)了激勵(lì)企業(yè)自主創(chuàng)新，促進(jìn)產(chǎn)業(yè)轉(zhuǎn)型升級(jí)的具體司法舉措，形成了一批地方性調(diào)研報(bào)告和規(guī)范性文件。如南京中院圍繞青奧會(huì)承辦工作，出臺(tái)《關(guān)于2014年第二屆夏季青年奧運(yùn)會(huì)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)司法保護(hù)工作的意見》。

　　二是重點(diǎn)扶持核心技術(shù)和新興產(chǎn)業(yè)，促進(jìn)地方特色產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展。一方面，各地法院結(jié)合國(guó)家、省發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略和產(chǎn)業(yè)政策，重點(diǎn)加大對(duì)經(jīng)濟(jì)增長(zhǎng)有重大突破性帶動(dòng)作用、具有自主知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)的關(guān)鍵核心技術(shù)的保護(hù)力度，促進(jìn)戰(zhàn)略性新興產(chǎn)業(yè)成為可持續(xù)發(fā)展的主導(dǎo)力量，促進(jìn)自主品牌的形成和發(fā)展，促進(jìn)新商業(yè)模式的發(fā)展和文化創(chuàng)意產(chǎn)業(yè)的繁榮。省法院與連云港中院等法院密切配合，深入了解醫(yī)藥產(chǎn)業(yè)當(dāng)前存在的知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)問題，及時(shí)提供對(duì)策建議，積極扶持國(guó)內(nèi)大型醫(yī)藥企業(yè)健康發(fā)展。無錫中院組成物聯(lián)網(wǎng)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù)調(diào)研課題組，走訪無錫國(guó)家物聯(lián)網(wǎng)創(chuàng)新示范區(qū)多家企業(yè)、科研機(jī)構(gòu)和相關(guān)政府部門，對(duì)物聯(lián)網(wǎng)產(chǎn)業(yè)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù)情況進(jìn)行全面分析，形成物聯(lián)網(wǎng)產(chǎn)業(yè)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù)司法建議。

　　另一方面，各地法院圍繞當(dāng)?shù)亟?jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展戰(zhàn)略和特色產(chǎn)業(yè)，確定服務(wù)大局的具體工作目標(biāo)，有效延伸司法審判職能。南通法院積極推動(dòng)“南通家紡市場(chǎng)”由單一的版權(quán)保護(hù)模式向版權(quán)、商標(biāo)權(quán)、外觀設(shè)計(jì)專利權(quán)相結(jié)合的綜合立體保護(hù)模式發(fā)展，“南通家紡市場(chǎng)” 版權(quán)保護(hù)經(jīng)驗(yàn)受到聯(lián)合國(guó)世界知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)組織的高度評(píng)價(jià)，人民日?qǐng)?bào)、中央電視臺(tái)、中央人民廣播電臺(tái)等9家中央媒體對(duì)此進(jìn)行了專門采訪和調(diào)研；揚(yáng)州法院在該市設(shè)立知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)巡回法庭，打造審批服務(wù)、延伸服務(wù)、交流服務(wù)三個(gè)平臺(tái)。連云港法院深入東海縣水晶市場(chǎng)，就知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù)情況進(jìn)行專項(xiàng)調(diào)研，編寫了《東海水晶市場(chǎng)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)知識(shí)百問百答》宣傳手冊(cè)。無錫法院加強(qiáng)紫砂工藝知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù)，出臺(tái)《關(guān)于加強(qiáng)紫砂行業(yè)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)保護(hù)的司法建議》，在法院協(xié)助推動(dòng)下，宜興地區(qū)擁有紫砂方面的專利已超過2000件。

　　三是深入聯(lián)系企業(yè)，積極開展法律培訓(xùn)和風(fēng)險(xiǎn)提示工作。各地法院密切關(guān)注各類產(chǎn)業(yè)中可能存在的知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)，深入醫(yī)藥、新材料、電信、物聯(lián)網(wǎng)、網(wǎng)吧、白酒等產(chǎn)業(yè)聚集地和矛盾糾紛多發(fā)領(lǐng)域進(jìn)行調(diào)研，一方面通過走訪企業(yè)、集中開展座談、舉辦義務(wù)法律講座、法官定點(diǎn)聯(lián)系企業(yè)等多種形式，深入了解企業(yè)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)司法保護(hù)需求，有針對(duì)性地開展知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)法律服務(wù)和培訓(xùn)工作。另一方面完善企業(yè)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)信息發(fā)布制度，并及時(shí)向黨委、政府相關(guān)部門和相關(guān)企業(yè)發(fā)出司法建議，為黨委、政府決策提供參考，幫助企業(yè)完善內(nèi)部治理機(jī)制，防范經(jīng)營(yíng)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。

　　二、依法公正高效審理案件，充分發(fā)揮司法保護(hù)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)的主導(dǎo)作用

　　（一）充分發(fā)揮有效遏制侵權(quán)行為和定分止?fàn)幑δ埽?lì)自主創(chuàng)新，依法妥善審理知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)民事案件

　　2010年，全省法院共審理知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)民事案件4466件（一審案件4201件、二審案件265件）。其中，新收案件4079件（一審案件3852件、二審案件227件），一審新收案件數(shù)同比增長(zhǎng)53.6%；新收一審著作權(quán)糾紛案件1753件，占新收案件總數(shù)的49.7%；商標(biāo)權(quán)糾紛案件938件，占37.1%；專利權(quán)糾紛案件431件，占12.2%；知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)合同類案件119件，占3.4%；不正當(dāng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)案件72件，占2.0%；其他類型知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)案件211件。2010年，全省知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)民事案件呈現(xiàn)以下特點(diǎn)：1、著作權(quán)、商標(biāo)權(quán)糾紛案件增幅明顯。新收一審著作權(quán)、商標(biāo)權(quán)糾紛案件數(shù)量同比分別增長(zhǎng)78.3%和67.2%。2、關(guān)聯(lián)案件比例較大。共新收一審關(guān)聯(lián)案件共計(jì)419起2688件，占一審收案總數(shù)的69.8%，關(guān)聯(lián)案件主要集中于電影作品網(wǎng)絡(luò)傳播權(quán)、音樂及圖片作品著作權(quán)、商標(biāo)權(quán)等與社會(huì)經(jīng)濟(jì)文化生活關(guān)系較為密切的領(lǐng)域。關(guān)聯(lián)案件中，著作權(quán)糾紛1519件，占全部關(guān)聯(lián)案件的56.5%；商標(biāo)權(quán)糾紛779件，占29.0%；專利權(quán)糾紛357件，占13.3%。3、涉外知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)案件數(shù)持續(xù)增加。共新收一審涉外知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)案件127件，同比增加33件，所涉國(guó)家包括美國(guó)、德國(guó)、法國(guó)、芬蘭、荷蘭、加拿大、英國(guó)、瑞士等，涉外關(guān)聯(lián)案件也相應(yīng)有所增長(zhǎng)。4、新類型案件不斷產(chǎn)生。南京中院審結(jié)了全國(guó)首例侵犯集成電路布圖設(shè)計(jì)糾紛，無錫中院受理了全省首起反壟斷糾紛。

　　全省法院牢固樹立以執(zhí)法辦案為第一要?jiǎng)?wù)的理念，加大知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)侵權(quán)懲處力度，降低維權(quán)成本，提高侵權(quán)代價(jià)，遏制侵權(quán)行為，有效促進(jìn)自主創(chuàng)新，維護(hù)公平有序的市場(chǎng)競(jìng)爭(zhēng)環(huán)境。全年共審結(jié)一、二審知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)民事案件3964件（一審案件3748件、二審案件216件），結(jié)案數(shù)同比增長(zhǎng)45.8%。其中，判決715件，判決率16.7％，同比下降9.5個(gè)百分點(diǎn)。審結(jié)了一批社會(huì)關(guān)注度高，社會(huì)影響面廣的重大案件，如上海天絡(luò)行文化傳播有限公司與常州市公園樂購(gòu)生活購(gòu)物有限公司之間涉及《喜洋洋與灰太狼》作品的文化衍生產(chǎn)業(yè)著作權(quán)糾紛案、美國(guó)安氏企業(yè)公司與無錫市海克鎢制品有限公司之間涉及產(chǎn)品標(biāo)識(shí)在獲得商標(biāo)注冊(cè)之前的著作權(quán)糾紛案等。省法院審結(jié)的里下河地區(qū)農(nóng)科所訴天補(bǔ)農(nóng)資公司侵犯植物新品種權(quán)糾紛案、新海宜電信發(fā)展股份有限公司訴南京普天通信股份有限公司侵犯專利權(quán)糾紛案被2010年《最高人民法院公報(bào)》刊用。

　　全省法院在案件審理中，一是不斷探索總結(jié)疑難復(fù)雜案件審判經(jīng)驗(yàn)。編寫《侵犯專利權(quán)糾紛案件審理指南》、《侵犯商業(yè)秘密案件審理指南》等類案審理意見，有效統(tǒng)一了審理思路，提高了審判水平。二是積極參與最高法院相關(guān)司法解釋起草的研討工作。形成《江蘇法院網(wǎng)絡(luò)著作權(quán)糾紛案件調(diào)研報(bào)告》等一批調(diào)研成果，為相關(guān)司法解釋出臺(tái)作出積極貢獻(xiàn)。三是進(jìn)一步完善關(guān)聯(lián)案件協(xié)調(diào)機(jī)制。繼續(xù)加強(qiáng)關(guān)聯(lián)案件的及時(shí)上報(bào)工作，堅(jiān)持各中院庭長(zhǎng)例會(huì)制度，根據(jù)各地經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展水平，探索建立既相對(duì)統(tǒng)一又存在合理區(qū)別的關(guān)聯(lián)案件裁判標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。全年對(duì)近400起關(guān)聯(lián)案件進(jìn)行溝通協(xié)調(diào)，有效統(tǒng)一執(zhí)法尺度。四是加強(qiáng)統(tǒng)籌指導(dǎo)，涉訴矛盾糾紛化解工作成效顯著。進(jìn)一步健全具有知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)特色的訴調(diào)對(duì)接機(jī)制，充分發(fā)揮行業(yè)協(xié)會(huì)在調(diào)解中的積極作用。2010年，以調(diào)解方式結(jié)案747件，經(jīng)調(diào)解撤訴案件2422件，調(diào)解、撤訴案件兩項(xiàng)合計(jì)3169件，調(diào)撤率為79.9％，同比上升9.1個(gè)百分點(diǎn)，且絕大部分調(diào)解撤訴案件得以自覺履行，有效實(shí)現(xiàn)了案結(jié)事了，切實(shí)維護(hù)了社會(huì)和諧穩(wěn)定。

　　（二）充分發(fā)揮刑事審判懲治和預(yù)防犯罪功能，依法從嚴(yán)打擊各類知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)違法犯罪行為

　　2010年，全省法院共新收“三審合一”試點(diǎn)刑事案件69件，同比增長(zhǎng)了2.6倍；審結(jié)64件，同比增長(zhǎng)了2.6倍。全省法院進(jìn)一步加大知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)刑事司法保護(hù)力度，充分發(fā)揮知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)司法保護(hù)資源整合的優(yōu)勢(shì)，依法從嚴(yán)打擊各類知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)犯罪活動(dòng)。一是積極實(shí)施國(guó)務(wù)院打擊侵犯知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)和制售假冒偽劣商品專項(xiàng)行動(dòng)，及時(shí)制定專項(xiàng)行動(dòng)方案，全面開展專項(xiàng)行動(dòng)。各地法院與當(dāng)?shù)毓病z察等部門緊密協(xié)作，開展大要案督辦，對(duì)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)刑事案件快審快結(jié)，依法從嚴(yán)打擊各類知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)犯罪活動(dòng)，審結(jié)了南京“5·26”銷售盜版和淫穢光盤案等一批具有較大影響的典型案件，王佳豪侵犯著作權(quán)案入選為全國(guó)法院專項(xiàng)行動(dòng)典型案例。二是堅(jiān)持大案要案督辦制度，繼續(xù)加強(qiáng)與行政執(zhí)法部門之間的工作協(xié)調(diào)，不斷增強(qiáng)刑事司法保護(hù)的綜合效能。三是堅(jiān)持寬嚴(yán)相濟(jì)的刑事政策，推進(jìn)量刑規(guī)范化改革，切實(shí)保護(hù)被害人的合法權(quán)益。靈活運(yùn)用各種刑事制裁措施，充分發(fā)揮刑罰懲治和預(yù)防知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)犯罪的功能。

　　（三）充分發(fā)揮監(jiān)督和支持知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)行政執(zhí)法的職能，依法履行對(duì)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)行政行為的司法審查職責(zé)

　　2010年，全省法院共新收“三審合一”試點(diǎn)行政案件8件，審結(jié)8件，其中常熟市聚滿倉食品有限公司不服行政處罰糾紛案入選為2010年全省知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)司法保護(hù)十大案例。全省法院依法履行對(duì)行政行為的司法審查職責(zé)，切實(shí)發(fā)揮監(jiān)督和支持知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)依法行政的審判職能。一是依法促進(jìn)行政執(zhí)法規(guī)范化建設(shè)。依法審理各類知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)行政案件，積極支持行政機(jī)關(guān)依法行政，糾正各類違法行政行為，依法促進(jìn)行政執(zhí)法規(guī)范化。二是積極參與知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)社會(huì)管理創(chuàng)新。對(duì)于案件審理中發(fā)現(xiàn)的各類問題及時(shí)向相關(guān)行政機(jī)關(guān)發(fā)送司法建議；與工商、版權(quán)、專利等知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)行政管理部門聯(lián)合召開座談會(huì)；積極參與相關(guān)行政管理部門組織的業(yè)務(wù)培訓(xùn)，協(xié)助行政機(jī)關(guān)完善各項(xiàng)制度措施，提高知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)管理水平。三是構(gòu)建支持和監(jiān)督行政機(jī)關(guān)依法行政的長(zhǎng)效機(jī)制。繼續(xù)強(qiáng)化源頭預(yù)防和化解知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)行政爭(zhēng)議的有效機(jī)制，推動(dòng)涉訴行政爭(zhēng)議綜合調(diào)處機(jī)制試點(diǎn)工作取得新進(jìn)展，進(jìn)一步搭建和完善了與行政執(zhí)法機(jī)關(guān)溝通協(xié)作的長(zhǎng)期平臺(tái)。

　　三、深化司法改革，完善知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)審判體系建設(shè)

　　一是深入推進(jìn)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)“三審合一”改革試點(diǎn)工作。各地法院審理知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)刑事、行政案件能力不斷提升，對(duì)相關(guān)問題的認(rèn)識(shí)進(jìn)一步深化，為下一步推進(jìn)試點(diǎn)工作打下了堅(jiān)實(shí)基礎(chǔ)。國(guó)務(wù)院打擊侵犯知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)和制售假冒偽劣商品專項(xiàng)行動(dòng)開展以來，各地法院積極參加專項(xiàng)行動(dòng)，并以此為契機(jī)，有效推動(dòng)“三審合一”改革試點(diǎn)工作取得新進(jìn)展，促進(jìn)知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)刑事案件審判水平的進(jìn)一步提高。

　　省法院及時(shí)對(duì)“三審合一”改革試點(diǎn)工作開展情況進(jìn)行全面梳理總結(jié)，收集整理改革試點(diǎn)工作中存在的各類問題，就不同司法程序之間的銜接、技術(shù)鑒定、證據(jù)認(rèn)定、量刑標(biāo)準(zhǔn)等疑難復(fù)雜問題，加強(qiáng)與省公安廳、省檢察院等單位的溝通協(xié)調(diào)，采取聯(lián)合召開座談會(huì)、上門走訪等多種形式，充分征求各方面意見，推動(dòng)各方面就相關(guān)問題達(dá)成共識(shí)，推進(jìn)試點(diǎn)工作深入開展。

　　二是構(gòu)建全省法院知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)審判“技術(shù)專家?guī)?rdquo;，切實(shí)解決技術(shù)事實(shí)認(rèn)定難問題。在省法院指導(dǎo)下，2010年各地法院普遍建立了技術(shù)專家?guī)臁Ｔ诖嘶A(chǔ)上，省法院出臺(tái)《知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)審判技術(shù)專家的管理辦法（試行）》，建立全省技術(shù)專家?guī)欤瑢⑷》ㄔ?57名知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)審判技術(shù)專家納入專家?guī)旖y(tǒng)一管理使用，專家?guī)斐蓡T包括化工、物理、機(jī)械、計(jì)算機(jī)、電子通信、生物、醫(yī)藥、農(nóng)業(yè)等各領(lǐng)域?qū)＜覍W(xué)者和技術(shù)人員，同時(shí)明確技術(shù)專家的選任、回避、職責(zé)、參加案件審理方式、專家咨詢意見的采信標(biāo)準(zhǔn)和程序、法律培訓(xùn)等各方面問題。目前，部分技術(shù)專家已開始正式參與知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)案件審理工作，省法院及各地法院也多次組織技術(shù)專家旁聽觀摩公開庭審、參加各類知識(shí)產(chǎn)權(quán)法律業(yè)務(wù)培訓(xùn)。從審理情況看，技術(shù)專家直接參與案件審理，對(duì)于及時(shí)準(zhǔn)確地厘清技術(shù)問題，提高審判質(zhì)效起到很好的幫助作用，改革工作取得了階段性成果。

Intellectual Property Rights Protection in Jiangsu Courts in 2010

Special Remarks:
This paper is published in both Chinese and English. The Chinese version shall prevail in case of any ambiguity.

In 2010, by adhering to the scientific development and accelerating the transformation of economic development, courts at all levels in Jiangsu Province have strengthened the trial, deeply promoted the Three Important Tasks including social disputes resolution, social management innovation and impartial law application, and actively implemented the Outline of the National Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) Strategy. Remarkable progress has been made in IPR protection, which provided strong judicial safeguards for constructing an “Innovation-Based Nation” and an “Innovation-Based Province”.

I. Legally serving the social and economic development, and actively implementing the National and Provincial Intellectual Property Strategy

All courts in entire province have stuck to the principle of active judiciary, energetically dealt with various changes in post-financial-crisis era, resolved IPR disputes by mediation according to the law, promoted to accelerate the transformation of economic development, maintained the order of market competition, and provided strong judicial safeguards and perfect legal service.

1. Formulating normative regulations and serving the transformation of economic development

The High People’s Court of Jiangsu Province worked out a series of regulatory documents including the Guidelines on Providing Judicial Safeguards for Accelerating the Transformation of the Economic Development in Jiangsu, the Guidelines on Providing Judicial Safeguards for Promoting the Healthy Growth of Medium and Small Sized Private Enterprises, etc, which provide guidelines for severing innovative economic developing and strengthening core competitiveness against risks of enterprises. In accordance with their own legal practice, local courts fully played the role of judicial safeguard and guidance, took specific judicial measures to encourage enterprises to self-innovate and boost industrial upgrading and transformation, and worked out a series of research reports and normative documents. For example, Nanjing Intermediate People’s Court laid down the Guidelines of Judicial Protection of Intellectual Property Rights for the 2nd Summer Youth Olympic Game in 2014.

2. Supporting the core technology and emerging industry, and promoting the development of local industries with their own characteristic

According to the State and provincial development strategy and industrial policies, all courts focused on intensifying the protection of core technologies with proprietary IPR and significant breakthroughs in boosting economic increase, made emerging strategic industries turn into the main force of sustainable development, facilitated the creation and development of the brands, and promoted the development of new business model and the prosperity of cultural and creative industry. Cooperating with other courts like Lianyungang Intermediate People’s Court, the High People’s Court of Jiangsu Province made research into problems on IPR in pharmaceutical industry, and then timely gave suggestive solutions and support to local large-scaled enterprises for their healthy development. Wuxi Intermediate People’s Court established a research group for the purpose of studying IPR protection of the Internet of Thing. The group has visited a host of enterprises, scientific research institutions and relative government branches in Wuxi. Then it comprehensively analyzed the IPR protection situations of Internet of Things, and put forward legal suggestions on judicial IPR protection for the formation of Internet of Things industry.

In addition, on the basis of local economic development strategy and characteristic industries, all courts worked out specific objectives to contribute to the overall social and economic development, and effectively extended the coverage of judicial function. The courts in Nantong City actively promoted the development of Nantong Home Textiles Market to change its single protective model of copyright into the integrative three-dimensional model including copyright, trademark right and industrial design right protection. The copyright protection experience of Nantong Home Textile Market received high praise from the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO); what’s more, 9 Chinese central news agencies including People’s Daily, China Central Television and China National Radio focused on the case by various means like special interviews and research. Yangzhou Intermediate People’s Court  set up a circuit IPR court, thus established the three-service-platform including trial, extensional function of trial and communication. Lianyungang Intermediate People’s Court carried out research on IPR protection of the crystal market in Donghai County, and compiled a booklet named 100 Q& As on IPR Knowledge of Donghai Crystal Market. The courts in Wuxi have strengthened the IPR protection of the Zisha teapot manufacturing technique, and provided Judicial Advices on IPR protection of Zisha Industry. Up till now, there have been over 2000 patents about Zisha in Yixing County.

3. Closely contacting with enterprises to carry out training on law issues and the early risk warning

All courts have paid close attention to potential IPR risks in different industries, and made thorough research in the fields of pharmaceutical, new material, telecommunication, internet bars, liquor where conflicts are more likely to happen. By visiting enterprises, holding symposiums, and offering voluntary lectures on law issues, the courts have well understood enterprises’ demands for IPR protection. According to the research, the courts carried out relevant service and trainings on law issues. In addition, the courts perfected the information release system, timely provided judicial suggestion to relevant committees of the Communist Party, government agencies and enterprises, which would be the valuable decision-making reference for CPC committees and government; at the same time, these information  greatly facilitated the companies to perfect their internal management system and prevent risks during operation.

II. Trying IPR Cases Efficiently and fairly according to Law, and playing the leading role in IPR Protection

1. Fulfilling the functions of preventing IPR infringement and resolving relevant disputes, encouraging self innovation by dealing with civil cases according to law

In 2010, courts at all levels in Jiangsu Province tried 4, 466 IPR civil cases including 4, 201 first instance cases and 265 second instance cases. The newly accepted cases were 4, 079 ( 3, 852 first instance cases and 227 second instance cases), with a year-on-year 53.6% increase compared with 2009; there were 1,753 copyright cases, accounting for 49.7% of the total; 938 trademark cases, 37.1%; 431 patent cases, 12.2%; 119 technology contract cases, 3.4%; 72 anti-unfair competition cases, 2.0%; and 211 on other IPR cases.

In 2010, the IPR cases showed the following characters: ⑴The number of copyright and trademark right cases increased remarkably. Among the newly accepted cases, copyright and trademark cases saw a year-on-year increase of 78.3% and 67.2% respectively. ⑵There were a high percentage of relevant cases with the same plaintiffs or defendants. In total, 2688 first instance cases of this nature were accepted by all courts which accounted for 69.8% among all cases. Most of them were related to online transmission right of cinematographic works, copyright of music and picture works, trademark rights and others closely linked to social economic and cultural life. Of all the relevant cases, there were 1519 on copyright, accounting for 56.5%; 779 on trademark, 29.0%; 357 on patent, 13.3%. ⑶The IPR cases with foreign elements kept increasing. Of all newly accepted cases of the first instance, there were 127 cases related to foreign IPR with an increase of 33 from 2009. These cases were related to several countries like USA, Germany, France, Finland, Canada, Britain, Switzerland etc. The relevant cases related to foreign IPR increased correspondingly. ⑷The new types of IPR civil cases were emerging constantly. Nanjing Intermediate People’s Court tried the first case of infringement of layout-design of integrated circuits in China. Wuxi Intermediate People’s Court accepted the first antimonopoly case in Jiangsu Province.

All courts in Jiangsu Province have firmly established the principle that law application should be the top priority. In order to effectively promote proprietary innovation and maintain the fair and orderly competition, courts at all levels tightened punishment for IPR infringement, reduced cost of safeguarding rights, and increased the price for infringement. As a result, infringement acts were effectively prevented. In the entire year, all courts had finished 3, 964 IPR civil cases including 3, 748 first instance cases and 216 second instance cases, a year-on-year 45.8% increase. There were 715 cases finished by issuing formal judgments, whose rate reached 16.7%, a year-on-year 9.5% reduction. The courts finished a few of widely influential and highly concerned cases such as, in extension sector of cultural industry, the copyright case related to the film named Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf betwwen Shanghai Skynet Asia Cultural Communication Co., Ltd. vs. Changzhou Gongyuan Tesco Life Shopping Co., Ltd.; and the copyright case related to the use of product trademark in unregistered period between American An’s Corporation vs. Wuxi HiCoo Tungsten Caibide Co., Ltd. Additionally, two cases finished by the High People’s Court of Jiangsu Province were published in 2010 Gazette of the Supreme People’s Court of the People’s Republic of China, including the case LX-river Area Institute of Agricultural Sciences vs. Tianbu Agricultural Materials Company for infringement of new plant variety right and Suzhou New Sea Union Telecom Technology Co., Ltd. corporation vs. Nanjing Putian Telecommunications Co., Ltd. for infringement of patent right.

During the trial, all courts in Jiangsu also took the following positive measures. Firstly, they kept exploring and summarizing the experience of trying difficult and complicated cases. The Judicial Guidebook of handling Patent Infringement Cases and The Judicial Guidebook of Trade Secret Infringement Case were compiled to provide standard opinions of judgment for judges. Secondly, they actively participated in the judicial interpretations of the Supreme Court. They had a series of research papers including the Report of Research on Network Copyright and contributed to the formulation of the relevant judicial interpretation. Thirdly, the courts further perfected the coordination system of relevant cases. The courts continued to strengthen information reporting system of relevant cases to higher courts, held regular chief judges’ meetings from all intermediate courts in Jiangsu Province, and, according economic development in different areas, tried to form some unified judgment standards with reasonable differences. In 2010, the higher courts coordinated with other courts after well communication on 400 relevant cases and effectively unified the judicial standards. Fourthly, the higher courts intensified the instruction to the lower courts. By this way, great achievements were made in resolving conflicts. The courts perfected the mechanism of combining trial with mediation with distinct IPR characteristic, and further explored the positive functions of industrial associations during mediation. In 2010, there were 747 cases settled by mediation, 2, 422 cases withdrawn because of conciliation, i.e. 79.9% cases were ended through mediation, a year-on-year 9.1% increase. What’s more, most cases of this type were enforced by both parties voluntarily. As a result, the courts effectively finished all the cases without any new disputes, and practically maintained social harmony and stability.
2. Fulfilling the function of punishing and deterring crimes, cracking down IPR infringements according to law

As an experimental move, IPR civil cases, criminal cases, and administrative cases are being tried in one tribunal. 69 IPR criminal cases with civil, criminal and administrative elements were accepted in 2010, a year-on-year 260% increase. Among them, 64 cases were settled, a year-on-year 260% increase. Courts in Jiangsu Province further strengthened IPR protection by criminal means, took advantage of tuning up different resources, and punished all kinds of IPR crimes strictly.

Firstly, according the direction from the State Council, the courts timely made special plans and waged special campaigns to fight against IPR infringement and producing and selling fake and inferior commodities. They closely cooperated with local police and prosecution departments, supervised the settlement of major and main cases, rapidly tried and concluded IPR criminal cases, strictly punished various criminal activities related IPR infringement, and finally several typical and influential cases were settled like 5.26 Selling Pornographic and Pirated Compact Discs Case in Nanjing. The case that Wangjiahao infringed the copyright was adopted as one of the typical cases in the special campaign launched by State Council. Secondly, the courts kept a close eye on the settlement of major and main cases, continued to deepen cooperation with administrative law-enforcement agencies, and constantly enhanced integrated efficiency of criminal judicial protection. Thirdly, the courts persisted in the principle of temper justice with mercy during criminal charge, promoted the reform of normalizing sentencing discretion, practically protected victims’ legitimate interests, flexibly exercised all kinds of criminal penalty measures, and fully performed the criminal penalty function of preventing and punishing crimes.

3. Fulfilling the function of supervising and supporting the law application by administrative agencies to protect IPR, and conducting judicial review on their action according to law

In 2010, there were 8 administrative cases accepted and concluded by courts in the new experimental trial system; among them, the case that Changshu Jumancang Food Co., Ltd. refused to accept administrative punishment was adopted as one of the 10 typical IPR protection cases in Jiangsu in 2010. All courts faithfully performed the function of judicial review on administrative action to supervise and support government agencies to assume their duties by law.

Firstly, the courts promoted the normalization of administrative law-enforcement action. The courts tried various administrative cases related IPR according to law, actively supported administrative branches to execute their power legally, corrected varieties of administrative acts against the law, and advanced the normalization of administrative law-enforcement. Secondly, the courts actively participated in social management innovation related to IPR. They promptly provided judicial advice to related administrative authorities as soon as they found problems during law enforcement, held meetings jointly with the IPR administrative authorities including the Industry and Commerce Bureau, the Copyright Office and the Patent Office, actively participated in business training organized by related administrative authorities, helped them perfect varieties of measures and systems, and increased their IPR management capacity. Thirdly, the courts set up a long-term mechanism to support and supervise administrative authorities execute their administrative power by law. In addition, they continued to reinforce effective system of avoiding and eliminating administrative disputes concerned IPR from beginning. In order to establish a well communication platform with administrative authorities, experimental work had been done to promote the establishment of a comprehensive conciliating system to settle the administrative disputes related to IPR. In this aspect, new progress were achieved.

Ⅲ. Deepening judicial reform and improving judicial system of IPR trial

1. Deeply promoting the judicial reform and the experimental model of combining IPR civil, administrative and criminal trials in one tribunal (“three-in-one”).

All courts constantly enhanced their ability to try IPR criminal and administrative cases, gained insight to the related problems, and built a firm base to promote the experiment in next period. After carrying out the special action, initiated by State Council, of fighting against the IPR-infringements and producing and selling the fake and inferior commodities, all courts actively joined in the special action and regarded it as an opportunity to effectively promote “three-in-one” reform, and further enhanced the IPR criminal trial capability.

The High People’s Court of Jiangsu province timely and fully summarized the status of carrying out “three-in-one” reform, collected and classified all kinds of problems from the reform, then strengthened the communication, discussion and coordination with Jiangsu Public Security Bureau and People’s Procuratorate on some complicated issues such as connection among different judicial procedures, technology authentication, evidence judgment, penalty standard, asked for advice by hosting symposium together and door-to-door visit, promoted all parties to come to an agreement on certain issues, and deeply developed the reform.

2. Constructing the "Technical Expert Library" of Jiangsu province for IPR trial and effectively solving the difficulties of technical-facts identification.

With the guidance of the High People’s Court of Jiangsu Province, “Technical Expert Library” was set up by all courts in Jiangsu Province in 2010. On this basis, Jiangsu Provincial High People’s Court formulated the Administrative Measures of IPR Technical Experts Library (Interim) and established the provincial Technical Expert Library including 157 IPR technical experts which are brought into unified management and use in the whole province. Technical Expert Library comprised experts and technicians in chemical, physical, mechanical, computer, electronic communication, biological medicine, agriculture and other fields. Meanwhile, the regulation provided experts selection, avoidance and their responsibilities, ways of  participating in trial, standards and procedures to adapt their advice, and training experts on law. Currently, some technical experts have begun to formally participate in the trial of IPR cases. Jiangsu High People’s Court and all local courts have organized technical experts to attend and observe public hearings and receive various IPR professional training on law. From the trial practice, technical experts directly involving in cases judgment have played a very good helping role in clarifying the technical problems timely and accurately, and then improved the trial efficiency. As a result, gradual achievement of the reform has been seen.

3. Further rational allocating IPR trial resources

While the principle of moderate concentration of jurisdiction was stuck to, according to the needs of the province’s economic and social development, judicial resources were rationally allocated and the number of district courts for dealing with IPR cases was properly increased. In 2010, after approval by the Supreme People’s Court, Kunshan People’s Court obtained the jurisdiction of handling the utility model and industrial design patent disputes. In the same year, Zhangjiagang People’s Court also obtained the jurisdiction of handling some IPR disputes. At present, there are 7 intermediate courts having the jurisdiction of trying patent cases, 1 district court possessing the jurisdiction of trying some patent cases and 17 district courts possessing jurisdiction of some civil IPR cases. Meanwhile, there are about 160 IPR judges in all courts of Jiangsu Province, the number of which is in the forefront of China. In 2010, all the district courts of Jiangsu province nearly accepted 1178 IPR cases and finished 1138 IPR cases accounting for 30.6% and 30.4% respectively among all newly accepted and finished cases of the first instance in all courts. Obviously, the district courts are playing the prominent role in IPR trial of Jiangsu province.

Ⅳ. Deeply promoting the judicial transparency and actively establishing the harmonious and healthy judicial environment.

1. Carefully planning and conducting the serial activities of 15th anniversary of Jiangsu specialized IPR trial.

In the first half year of 2010, the High People’s Court of Jiangsu Province successfully held the 15th Anniversary of Jiangsu Specialized IPR Trial and the seminar on IPR Protection and IPR Interests Balance. Additionally, the book “Innovation and Development –IPR Trial Achievements of Jiangsu Courts in the Past 15 Years”, and the commemorative album named “Glorious History and Better Future” were published and showed the development and outstanding achievements on Jiangsu IPR trials, research, reform, team building and basic construction of the district courts in the past 15 years. Also, a number of excellent collectives and individuals being engaged in IPR trial were commended. Leaders of the Jiangsu provincial government and the Third Civil tribunal of the Supreme People’s Court, famous experts and scholars, representatives from other high courts and some of IPR judges in Jiangsu courts attended the seminar. Four topics including IPR judicial protection, non-infringement identification, IPR rights conflict, and unfair competition and legal issues of IPR contract were discussed extensively and deeply. Some mainstream media agencies including “Legal Daily”, “People’s Court News”, and “China Daily” reported this seminar specially, which further enhanced the influence of Jiangsu IPR trial in China.

2. Publishing the Blue Book of the Judicial IPR Protection in Jiangsu, and actively carrying out publicity activities in a week around the “World Intellectual Property Day”.

"The Status of Judicial IPR Protection in Jiangsu Courts in 2009" (the Blue Book of the Judicial IPR Protection in Jiangsu) was Published, and introduced the status of judicial IPR protection in Jiangsu courts, the top 10 typical cases of judicial IPR protection, the analysis of IPR protection of enterprises in Jiangsu, and other memorabilia in 2009. Two cases including Shanghai Sanlian (Group) Co., Ltd. and Wuliangcai Glasses Co., Ltd. of Shanghai Sanlian (Group) Co., Ltd. vs. Suzhou Wuliangcai Glasses Co., Ltd. for the infringement of registered trademark and unfair competition, and Chengdu General Soft Network Technology Co., Ltd. vs. Sun Xianzhong and Hong Lei for the copyright criminal (“Tomato Garden” software piracy case) were selected as two of the top 10 cases of judicial IPR protection in 2009 by the Supreme People’s Court of China. Moreover, another three cases were selected as three of the typical 50 cases of judicial IPR protection in 2009 by the Supreme People’s Court of China. The total number of selected cases from Jiangsu courts was in the forefront among all courts in China. Additionally, Jiangsu courts actively carried out the publicity activities on law during the week around the "World Intellectual Property Day". They kept on strengthening the publicity of judicial IPR protection by inviting representative members of NPC and CPPCC to attend hearing and asking for advice, and publicly trying a number of IPR cases with significant social influence.

3. Further implementing the principle of publicly trying and disclosing judgments.

In 2010, the courts of Jiangsu province adhered to intensifying the transparency of judicial activities and implemented the institution of publicly trying. They insisted that all the IPR cases should be tried through hearing, and actively provided the parties with lawsuit guidance, the risk of litigation notification, law consultation, judicial salvage and other legal services. Meanwhile, in 2010, Jiangsu courts insisted on disclosing all effective IPR judgments on the Internet, and a total of 560 IPR judgments were uploaded during this year. Up to the present, a total of 4461 IPR judgments have been disclosed, the number of which was in the forefront among all the courts in China.

The year of 2011 is the first year of the "Twelfth Five Year Plan", also is the key year for accelerating the economic development transformation and adjusting the economy structure. Hence, there will be concurrence of opportunities and challenges to the IPR trial. Jiangsu courts will actively implement the innovation strategy, regard enforcing law and handling cases as the fundamental tasks, stick to the idea of Active judicature, further promote the Three Important Tasks, actively develop new areas of serving the overall situation, exert the unique role of judicial IPR protection in promoting economic development transformation, comprehensively improve trial ability, and make new contributions to the development of intellectual property rights.
