Failure to Report Amendment of Claims During Invalidation to Trial Court is Subject to a Fine

In decision (2023)最高法知民终1295号 released on July 3, 2025, China’s Supreme People’s Court (SPC) held that failure to notify a People’s Court (trial court) of a claim amendment made during an invalidation proceeding is subject to a fine.  The SPC also reversed the People’s Court’s judgement of infringement based on the amendments made during the invalidation proceeding.  Accordingly, a 100,000 RMB win at the first instance turned into a 150,000 RMB loss at the second instance.
