Copyright violation cases rise
Print Edition
MORE than 90 percent of intellectual property violations handled last year related to infringements on copyrights, patents and trademarks, Shanghai Intellectual Property Court said yesterday.
The court accepted a total of 1,877 cases of intellectual property infringements last year, up 14 percent from 2015.
Nearly half, 921 cases, related to copyright piracy, with 27 percent occurring in cyberspace.
This year, the court for the first time released a white paper related to computer and online copyright infringements.
The court’s president Wang Qiuliang said the numbers of such infringements were increasing and were hampering the city’s progress in building a technological innovation center.
According to the white paper, 167, or 28 percent, of the total computer software infringements cases accepted in the past two years concerned foreign firms, from software developers to online game operators.
Many cases also concerned online streaming outfits.
