More overseas litigants are choosing to resolve international intellectual property disputes in China, according to a recent report.
While strictly abiding by international rules, the IP Court protects all litigants, regardless of their origin, in an effort to foster a market-oriented and law-based international business environment, it added.
The national-level IP Court was set up in Beijing in January 2019 to deal with civil and administrative appeal cases over patent issues and difficult technologies, and it helped streamline the appeal process by allowing litigants to bypass provincial courts and appeal directly, she said.
In other words, litigants unhappy with rulings made by intermediate courts at the city or prefecture level, or by other specialized IP courts at provincial high courts, can go directly to the top IP Court.
The intermediate court had specialized in handling capital-related commercial disputes involving foreign litigants since 2018.
"Whether to solve disputes through the team depends on litigants," he added.
According to the decision made by the National People's Congress in 2018, litigants who disagree with the rulings made by the local people's courts including specialized local IP Courts, could appeal directly to the SPC's IP Court.
Zhu said many technical IP-related cases had been resolved more quickly over the past two years because the new division streamlined the appeal process by allowing litigants to bypass provincial courts and appeal to it directly.
This means that litigants, who are unhappy with rulings made by intermediate courts at city or prefecture level, or by other specialized courts, can appeal directly to the top court instead of first appealing to a high court at the municipal or provincial level.
Litigants have been given easier access to solving financial disputes, thanks to new measures and legal services provided by the Beijing Financial Court over the past few months.
Since the court was established in March, the two courtrooms have solved 138 cases and provided legal services for litigants 358 times, Li said.
In addition, he underscored that the importance of personal information protection in the disclosure of rulings to ensure the life and work of litigants and their families, or the business and development of enterprises, cannot be affected by the judicial openness.
He suggested courts replace the names of litigants with the "plaintiff" and "defendant" when uploading rulings online, with stronger supervision of disclosed information, "so that personal data can be truly safeguarded on the way to guaranteeing judicial transparency".
In response to recent reports saying that the library will only be accessible to courts, the SPC clarified that it will be disclosed to everyone, including legal professionals, lawyers and litigants.
The disclosed draft clarifies that money or gifts provided at birthdays or festivals should not be identified as betrothal gifts, stating that Chinese courts, in general, will not support the return of a bride price if litigants are registered for marriage and live together for a long time.
However, if the time of living together is too short and the amount of betrothal gifts is too high, Chinese courts will determine whether to return the bride price and what proportion should be returned in line with specific circumstances, such as whether litigants have children and which side is at fault in the marriage, the draft added.
Gao Xiaoli, chief judge of the top court's No 4 Civil Adjudication Tribunal, highlighted the importance of finding the right foreign laws to handle international commercial cases and said that formulating a judicial interpretation to deal with such matters shows respect for the litigants, both from China and abroad, which will help strongly protect international transactions.
So far, the two international commercial courts have heard 27 disputes, with litigants coming from countries such as the United States, Italy, Thailand and the Philippines, the top court said, adding that its expert committee has had 61 experts from 24 nations.
In the two courts, resolving international commercial disputes — through mediation, arbitration or litigation — depends on the litigants, meaning the three forms of resolution are integrated into one platform, which is China's innovative way of settling such cases.
"More foreign litigants have preferred to choose our courts to solve their disputes, and our civil and commercial verdicts have also been recognized and implemented in more nations," she said.
After learning that sending legal documents to litigants in such case handling is a big difficulty, she noted that legislators adjusted and added a few provisions this time to improve the efficiency of delivery.
For example, the newly amended law adds a provision that allows Chinese courts to deliver documents to litigants' sole proprietorship enterprises set up in China.
"Considering that the delivery of legal documents in foreign-related civil lawsuits is difficult, legislators will attach greater importance to revising relevant provisions in the law to improve the efficiency of the procedure and safeguard legitimate rights of litigants," Yang said.
For example, the 24-article guideline highlights divorce cases, clarifying that Chinese courts should educate litigants with children under the age of 18 in such lawsuits.
