Recently, China’s Supreme People’s Court (SPC) released five Typical Cases on Combating Malicious Intellectual Property Litigation.

Typical cases are used to guide lower courts and promote consistent legal application across China. The previously-issued “Opinions of the Supreme People’s Court on Serving and Safeguarding Technological Innovation through High-Quality Adjudication” pointed out that “illegal acts that hinder innovation, such as false litigation, malicious litigation, and abuse of litigation rights, should be regulated according to law…” These Typical Cases explain this further.
