67、of technology-related cases continued to increase,the demand for IPR protection in central and western China was high,and the importance of IPR judicial services to high-quality development was emphasized further.In 2022,the IP Court of the Supreme Peoples Court continued to accepted a significant n
68、umber of new civil non-procedural cases in second instance involving technical IPRs.Significantly more case of first instance involving patent and technology contract were accepted by local peoples courts at all levels.Courts in Jiangsu province newly accepted 1,817 new cases of disputes over owners

72、ee innovations,the development of smart court architecture was fostered,and the mechanism for convenience and benefit of the judiciary improved.Online trial platforms were leveraged by local courts to facilitate online court hearings,services,and other legal processes of IP cases,which shortened the
73、 duration of litigation and reduced litigation costs.For instance,courts in Shanghai accepted 38,505 IP cases online,with over 20,000 online court hearings and meetings and more than 170,000 electronic services.Courts in Henan province recorded an online filing rate of over 90%,with 16,023 IP first

75、 approximately 70%of all accepted IP cases filed online annually.The Qingdao Intellectual Property Court developed an online asynchronous evidence cross-examination system,which enabled relevant parties to upload electronic evidence online and complete cross-examination,thereby streamlining pre-tria

77、lved 44,155 civil IP cases of first instance,a mediation and resolution rate of 9.64%,up 0.78%compared to 2021.Additionally,2,894 civil IP cases of second instance were mediated and resolved at a rate of 6.22%,an increase of 0.57%from the previous year.Notably,the rates of mediation and withdrawal o
78、f IP cases recorded by courts in Tianjin,as well as Hebei,Guangdong,and Heilongjiang provinces were particularly high,reaching 75.51%,73.48%,52.94%,and 66.6%,respectively.The high rates of withdrawal reflect the effective reduction of the burden on litigants and the complete maintenance of social st
79、ability and harmony.Courts in Jiangsu province heard 97 IP cases in which punitive damages were applied,up 21.25%year on year;the Primary Peoples Court of Pudong New Area of Shanghai applied punitive damages 中國法院知識產權司法保護狀況(2022).indd 302023/4/17 15:51:3231-in 25 cases;a total of 169 million yuan was

81、ccepted by local courts resulted in forced enforcement,with a 98%enforcement and closing rate.In response to IP infringement in critical areas influencing peoples livelihoods,such as food and drug production,courts in Jiangsu province issued nearly one hundred orders prohibiting the relevant entitie
82、s from engaging in the specified industry.According to the relevant applications,the Intermediate Peoples Court of Guiyang in Guizhou province heard 25 IP preservation cases and froze properties worth 40.1 million yuan last year.The cost of IP infringement increased dramatically,and rights holders w
83、ere effectively compensated for their losses.More cases were accepted by courts at lower levels.The quality and effectiveness of IP case trials have improved as a result of jurisdiction diversity of intermediate and high courts.In Jiangsu province,primary peoples courts heard 65.25%of all IP cases i
84、n the province,an increase of 10.52%year on year.Meanwhile,the proportion of cases heard by intermediate and high courts dropped to 31.56%and 3.19%,respectively.Similarly,in Chongqing,the 中國法院知識產權司法保護狀況(2022).indd 312023/4/17 15:51:3232-number of IP cases newly accepted by primary peoples courts acc
85、ounted for 75.2%of all IP cases in the city,up 28.1%compared to 2021;the proportion of cases heard by intermediate and high courts,in contrast,decreased by 29.9%to 21.3%and increased by 1.8%to 3.5%,respectively.This demonstrates the gradual formation of a“pyramid”pattern with respect to the trial of
86、 IP cases.Of the first-instance civil IP cases concluded by local courts,320 cases were concluded under the elevated jurisdiction of higher courts,more than three times the figure in 2021.63 civil IP cases were submitted to a higher-level court in Jiangxi province,and 15 such cases that were submitt
