Shanghai intellectual property protection ten typical cases 2024, shanghai intellectual property white paper 2024 and others were officially released on 22 april
In a press conference organized by the shanghai city department of intellectual property rights on the same day, rae wenzheng, director-general of the shanghai city intellectual property authority, stated that the top ten cases were characterized by the high amount of money involved, the strong warning role and the equal protection of the legitimate rights and interests of enterprises, both middle and foreign。
“for example, in the case of the crime of violating the copyright of lego by a tech firm, chen, and some others, the defendant illegally operated for up to $1. 1 billion, and the two principals were sentenced to nine and eight years' imprisonment by the court, and the unit in question was fined $600 million, which is also the largest violation of copyright in the country.” according to rae wenby。
At present, crimes against intellectual property take the form of more professional and covert means and more objects. In this regard, the shanghai police has intensified its efforts to build a multi-dimensional network of intellectual property protection, in particular through daily monitoring by the administrative supervisory authorities, risk screening on networked electric power platforms, from industry autonomy to administrative regulation, to criminal prosecution. Over the past year, the public security organs throughout shanghai have investigated more than 1,300 cases of violations of intellectual property rights, destroyed more than 1,800 sites and protected the legitimate rights and interests of more than 100 prominent chinese and foreign brands。
According to chief hu bin yong, chief of the investigation department of the shanghai public security bureau, in recent years, cases of violations of intellectual property rights in the shanghai region have been characterized by two types of theft of business secrets by “inners” and by the forgery of abuses by external “ligu”. In response, the police have a clear objective, namely “to hit the source, the end, the network, the chain”. Business secrets are stolen, from the stealers to the users, and gang members are caught together; abuses are faked, broken from the material, processing, warehousing, sales chain and beaten upstream and downstream。
In order to provide professional and efficient intellectual property protection services to enterprises, in april last year, the shanghai police, together with the city chamber of commerce and industry, built and operated 17 “blue whale” care stations at the municipal and district levels throughout the city. Business complexes such as business buildings and industrial parks are located at work stations, staffed by experienced and full-time civilian police officers who are stationed at the two-day-a-week station on a full-time telephone, providing a one-stop service at the enterprise's “doorway”. In addition, a number of workstations are staffed by staff from the public prosecutions act, the market supervision and the political courts school to provide full legal advice to enterprises. In the meantime, the construction of a dedicated online window called "doctors, protectors and me" has been further deepened, and businesses can leave messages online, and civilian police will be targeted to answer questions and questions。
