Recently, the CNIPA concluded three administrative adjudication cases under the early resolution mechanism for drug patent disputes. This is the first batch of administrative cases of this type concluded in the country since the implementation of the new Patent Law.

It is reported that the first batch of cases concluded involved patent rights of inventions No. 201210135209.X, No. 201510599477.0 and No. 201010151552.4, and the drug variety is "oxycodone hydrochloride sustained-release tablet" from Purdue Pharma L.P. The company requested confirmation that the generic drug-related technical solutions of Yichang Humanwell Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. fell within the protection scope of the above-mentioned patent rights. The collegial panel of the CNIPA put the case on record in accordance with the law. After trial, it was finally confirmed that the technical solutions related to generic drugs did not fall within the protection scope of the above-mentioned patent rights. In the administrative adjudication case involving the patent right of invention No. 201010151552.4, the collegial panel also tried the defense of the patent registration error raised by Yichang Humanwell Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd., and finally determined that the defense was untenable.

The above-mentioned cases are the first batch of adjudication cases for early resolution of drug patent disputes through administrative channels, and the trial period of these cases is only six months.

Case Brief:

Tencent Technology (Chengdu) Co., Ltd. and Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd. enjoy the copyright to the game "Honor of King". Hubei Jixuan Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Hubei Jili Network Technology Co., Ltd. provided a rental platform service for the game accounts of "Honor of King" through the "Shan Dian Zu Hao" APP, and propagandized and popularized the APP on the website www.sdzuhao.com operated thereby. Changsha Qili Network Technology Co., Ltd. promoted the APP and distributed the game accounts through the website www.pc6.com operated thereby. The two plaintiffs believed that the defendants' behavior constituted unfair competition, and thus the plaintiffs first applied to the court for pre-litigation behavior preservation, and then brought the lawsuit to the court, requesting the defendants to stop the infringement, eliminate the impact and compensate for the losses.

Judgment Result:

The People's Court of Kaifu District, Changsha City held that Hubei Jixuan Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Hubei Jili Network Technology Co., Ltd., as operators in the Internet industry, ignored industry practices and implemented accounts rental under the premise of knowing that the real-name system was required for game accounts, and turned obstruction to the operation and management of the two plaintiffs into its own competitive advantage, and such act violated the principle of good faith and business ethics, caused a negative impact on the ecological environment of the industry in which platform operators in the Internet industry gain a competitive advantage through legal operation and standardized management, and disrupted the market competition order in the Internet industry, and also damaged the legitimate rights and interests of the two plaintiffs as operators and many normal real-name game users as consumers. Changsha Qili Network Technology Co., Ltd., as the operator of the Internet platform, failed to fulfill its prudent management obligations, propagandized and promoted the "Shan Dian Zu Hao" APP and distributed game accounts on the website www.pc6.com it operated, which also disrupted the market competition order. The acts of the three defendants all constituted unfair competition. The three defendants were ordered to stop the infringement, and Hubei Jixuan Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Hubei Jili Network Technology Co., Ltd. were ordered to publish a statement on the website www.sdzuhao.com operated thereby to eliminate the impact and compensate the two plaintiffs for economic losses as well as reasonable expenses for rights protection totaling more than 430,000 yuan.

Typical Significance:

This is the first case of pre-litigation behavior preservation for game account rental. On the one hand, this case guides the operators of Internet platforms to prudently manage the platforms they operate and gain competitive advantages through legal operations; on the other hand, in accordance with the Cybersecurity Law and the Law on the Protection of Minors, this case focuses on the protection of social public interests as well as the rights and interests of minors, and actively implements China's policy on the real-name system on the Internet and the prevention of minors' addiction, so as to protect the physical and mental health of minors. This case was selected into the 2021 Top Ten Copyright Cases of the International Association for the Protection of Intellectual Property (AIPPI) China and the 2021 Top Ten Judicial Cases of China's Internet Governance.

Case Brief:

Company A is the first innovator to start the research and development of new energy vehicles in China. In March 2011, the defendant Zhang X joined Company A and served as the executive deputy director of New Energy Center, the director of the Center, and the vice president of the Passenger Vehicle Design Institute. During the tenure, the defendant Zhang X, together with the outsiders in the case, established Company B, which was highly competitive with Company A. The defendant Zhang X received 45% of the shares with technique in the name of his younger brother, and lured a number of core technical personnel for job-hopping from Company A to Company B. In December 2013, after Zhang X resigned from Company A, he immediately joined Company B serving as a senior executive. In only about a month, Zhang X, as one of the inventors, and Company B, as a patent applicant, filed more than 80 patent applications with the CNIPA. Zhang X and Company B were suspected of illegally disclosing the technical secrets of Company A, and Company B was also suspected of using Company A's technical secrets in its foreign business cooperation projects.

In order to protect its legitimate rights and interests, Company A filed a case concerning patent ownership dispute and technical secret infringement dispute with the Beijing Intellectual Property Court.

Typical Significance:

This case is a typical IP infringement dispute caused by corporate executive's job-hopping, involving patent ownership disputes and technical secret infringement disputes. In this case, the plaintiff actively provided evidence for its own existing technical research and development materials and process, the technical information involved meets the requirements for trade secrets, and the technical information disclosed by Company B's patent application and used by Company B in foreign business projects was compared with that of Company A to preliminarily prove that Company B had a great possibility of infringement. In the case that Company B had no good cause to prove the legitimate source of its technique or independent research and development, the court reasonably presumed that the ownership of the patent right in the case shall belong to Company A, and Company B's act of infringing trade secrets was established.
