In order to precisely serve the group of small, medium and micro science and innovation enterprises, and solve the problem of difficulty in financing for those enterprises, Ping An Bank launched a special product - Emerging Industry Loan (patented version) at the end of 2021, which assesses the comprehensive strength of enterprises by intellectual property rights, and has launched in 7 cities, including Shenzhen, Dongguan, Foshan, Hefei and Ningbo, and served a total of nearly 100 enterprises.

In recent years, relevant departments attach great importance to the financial work of intellectual property rights, and many places have called on financial institutions to improve their credit approval and risk management models, in order to continuously increase the scale and intensity of loans to small and medium-sized enterprises in terms of science and innovation technology, and provide financial support for their technology and transformation process. Ping An Bank has actively innovated financial services through digital investment banking, realized the “credit” of intellectual property rights, and successively launched products serving micro and small science and technology innovation clients including the emerging industry loan (patented version), so as to assist in the development of micro, small and medium science and technology innovation enterprises.

In the process of carrying out intellectual property financing business by financial institutions, the objective evaluation of enterprise patent value is the key to financing decision. In order to solve the problems of intellectual property such as the complex characteristics, sharp value fluctuation and no unified industrial assessment standard has been established, Ping An Bank has independently researched and developed the measurement model of enterprise patent value by relying on its advantage in science and technology and professional accumulation in the field of big data analysis and access to the national intellectual property data. They have conducted in-depth cooperation with the CNIPA and Intellectual Property Publishing House, accessed national intellectual property data, and independently researched and developed a measurement model of enterprise patent value.

Ping An Bank Emerging Industries Loan (Patented Edition) sets up the basic access conditions related to credit information collection and taxation for small and medium-sized scientific and technological enterprises with intellectual property rights. There is no profit-making requirement. Any enterprise that meets the basic credit conditions may gain access, and the cumbersome access examination process will be exempted. In addition, Ping An Bank takes advantage of science and technology to achieve online application and examination and approval, rapid check of amount through the system, and borrowing and repayment after loan. It also establishes a mature SME credit model and has access to the big data of industry and commerce, justice, taxation, etc., supports clients to apply with one button without providing any supporting information, and optimizes the client experience.

While implementing the work concerning intellectual property finance, Ping An Bank has established all-round cooperation based on the emerging industry loan (patented version) with many provincial and municipal intellectual property bureaus, industry and information bureaus and science and technology bureaus, and has popularized the loan in batches in many national high-tech parks. Efforts will be made to develop big data credit products, optimize evaluation and credit procedures, and continuously provide financing support for micro, small and medium-sized technology startups by focusing on product iteration optimization, the application of IP digital assets, and the establishment of evaluation standards for science innovation.


ZLWD Commentary:

The in-depth cooperation between Ping An Bank and the State Intellectual Property Office and China Intellectual Property Publishing House is an important assistance to the financing and patent innovation of small and medium-sized enterprises. The support of banks is to help enterprises solve financing problems at the source, which will encourage more enterprises to engage in creativity and innovation. In the long run, it can further enhance the competitiveness of small, medium and micro enterprises in China.

On July 4, the Market Supervision Bureau of Liuzhou in Guangxi took the lead in completing the appointment of technical investigators for administrative adjudication of patent infringement disputes at the municipal level in Guangxi.

The first batch of 15 patent technology investigators recruited by Liuzhou government are from IPR protection centers, colleges and universities, IPR service agencies, enterprises, public institutions across the country, and have rich experience in technical R&D and IPR services. Most of them are inter-disciplinary talents of “Intellectual Property + Law”, whose technical fields cover mechanical, chemical, electrical, environmental, and industrial design fields, and the coverage rate of international patent classification is 87.5%.

Liuzhou Market Supervision Bureau (Liuzhou Intellectual Property Bureau) has continuously carried out the "iron fist" and "blue sky" special campaigns for intellectual property rights, cracked down on intellectual property rights infringement and counterfeiting and other illegal acts severely, and handled patent infringement dispute cases have increased year by year, with a growing proportion of cases involving complex patent technologies. The difficulty of handling patent infringement dispute cases continues to increase.

In order to further enhance the effectiveness of the administrative adjudication of patent infringement disputes, the Liuzhou Market Supervision Bureau Intellectual Property Office, in accordance with the relevant regulations, which they combined with  administrative adjudication of patent infringement disputes, introduced technical investigators to participate in the processing of cases, thereby enhancing the neutrality, objectivity and scientificity of technical fact determination, providing important professional technical support for administrative adjudication and continuously improving the efficiency of handling cases.

The investigators will perform their duties according to the focus of the technical dispute, including: give advice on the scope, order, and method of the investigation, participate in the investigation and evidence collection, participate in the inquiry and hearing, provide technical investigation opinions, assist them in organizing experts and professionals in relevant technical fields, and attend the relevant meetings and complete other related work.

Liuzhou Market Supervision Bureau Intellectual Property Office will take the opportunity to establish and improve the patent technology investigation officer system, accelerate the construction work of intellectual property think tank, integrate the existing intellectual property talents resources inside and outside the city, improve the mechanism of collaborative development for talents in intellectual property industry, promote the construction of the building intellectual property talents team, and provide strong talent support and intellectual support for the in-depth implementation of the strong intellectual property strategy.


ZLWD Commentary:

The introduction of high and versatile talents to the Liuzhou Intellectual Property Office is a great step forward for intellectual property protection and is a fair process. These cross-disciplinary talents with professional skills will maximize the protection of the interests of the parties concerned in the process of the protection of rights, and will also play a key role in the rulings on infringement disputes.

On June 29, Shen Changyu, Director of the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) held a video conference with Christian Archambeau, Executive Director of the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO).

Shen stated that the China-EU Trademark Information Exchange Agreement signed between the two offices last year was successfully implemented. China's trademark data was officially launched on the EUIPO's trademark search platform on May 19. At the same time, the EU trademark search system developed by the CNIPA has also been formally put into use.

Christian Archambeau expressed that the cooperation on the exchange of trademark data between the two offices is a long-term project. In 2021, the number of trademark and design applications submitted by Chinese applicants ranks the first to the EU Intellectual Property Office. The EU appreciates the efforts made by China in the area of information exchange between the two authorities, and hopes that the two authorities will continue to deepen the cooperation and achieve more positive results in the future.


ZLWD Commentary:

The close cooperation between the EUIPO and the CNIPA is an important guarantee to achieve the competitiveness of enterprises and products in the context of globalization. This will help more domestic individuals and enterprises to file IP applications within the EU, which will further increase our international influence in the long run.

In recent years, with the help of short videos and live broadcasts, publishers have opened up new sales channels for genuine books through content e-commerce. At the same time, book copyright protection cannot be ignored. In recent years, with the help of short video and live broadcasting, publishing institutions through the content of e-commerce to open new sales of genuine books, at the same time, book copyright protection can not be ignored. Recently, the Tic Tok e-commerce company has made a statement to the public, saying that the platform has made platform governance a top priority since its inception. To increase the protection of genuine books, it will continue to invest a lot of resources in the future to continuously improve the governance system and upgrade governance capabilities.

According to the Tic Tok e-commerce book industry development data report, more than 450,000 books are sold through the platform every day. According to the Jitterbug e-commerce book industry development data report, more than 450,000 books are sold through the platform every day, and in 2021, the number of book publishing enterprise on the platform continued to grow, reaching nearly 10,000 by the end of the year with an increase of 134% year-on-year. At the same time, the platform has also taken various measures to increase book copyright protection. According to the report, the platform continued to increase its governance efforts and upgrade the platform's governance system through a number of actions such as genuine book protection, combating piracy infringement and publicizing intellectual property protection. Last year, in 2021, the platform launched an intellectual property protection platform, which opened an exclusive channel for online rights protection for each copyright owners. The platform received over 10,000 infringement complaints throughout the year, and over 48,000 infringing links were deleted. In January 2022, the platform signed a memorandum of cooperation on book genuine protection with the Jingban Fifteen Publishers Anti-Piracy Alliance, and the two parties carried out in-depth cooperation in brand cooperation and green channels for rights protection, ect. In 2021, the platform found a number of stores selling pirated books on the platform and reported them to the police. 

According to the report, the police investigation resulted in the freezing of more than 11 million yuan of the funds involved and the seizure of more than 100,000 copies of pirated books. In addition, the platform also adopts the form of video and live broadcast to publicize the knowledge of intellectual property protection to merchants and the public. For example, in cooperation with the Jingban Fifteen Publishers Anti-Piracy Alliance, the platform launched the “know everything about anti-counterfeiting, good books bring new knowledge” column helping readers identify pirated books.


ZLWD Commentary:

Nowadays, online consumption has become mainstream and publishers are selling books through e-commerce to increase sales. Among the many pirated products, pirated books are relatively more prevalent in the market. While expanding sales channels, actively advocating online-combating piracy and promoting channels of infringement complaint, helping publishers defend their rights. Such cooperation will both demonstrate strong efficiency and further reflect the industry's overall increased awareness of copyright.

Recently, twelve provinces and cities collaborated in the administrative protection of intellectual property rights and nine provinces (districts) of the Yellow River Ecological Economic Belt held their intellectual property protection cooperation activities one after another. Since this year, various localities have continued to strengthen cross-regional administrative protection collaboration, and made efforts to promote the construction of a larger, deeper and broader administrative protection mechanism for intellectual property rights, so as to continuously improve the level and effectiveness of regional intellectual property protection.

In recent years, the CPC Central Committee and the State Council have attached great importance to cross regional cooperation in intellectual property protection. “The outline for building a strong country with intellectual property rights (2021-2035)” and “The national plan for the protection and application of intellectual property rights during the 14th five year plan” have made top-level design and strategic deployment for improving the coordination mechanism of cross regional intellectual property administrative protection, and the “Opinions on strengthening intellectual property protection” have put forward clear requirements for strengthening cross sectoral and cross regional case handling cooperation.

The State Intellectual Property Office conscientiously implements the decisions and arrangements of the Party Central Committee and the State Council. The 2022 National Conference of Directors of Intellectual Property Offices required that localities be encouraged to strengthen the synergy of cross-regional intellectual property work, create regional intellectual property highlands and serve national regional strategies. In 2022, the national intellectual property administrative protection work program was deployed to continue to deepen cross-regional intellectual property administrative protection collaboration among twelve provinces and cities, five provinces (regions and cities) in North China, and eighteen cities in Shanxi, Hebei, Shandong. Also to strengthen cross-regional inter-departmental law enforcement exchanges. Since this year, the State Intellectual Property Office has continued to strengthen cross-regional intellectual property administrative protection collaboration guidance and further optimize the business environment to boost high-quality economic and social development.

Take the cooperation mechanism of intellectual property administrative protection in 12 provinces and cities as an example. Since the establishment of the mechanism in 2019, the number of case clues for patents, trademarks, geographical indications, etc. transferred between the twelve provinces and cities has increased significantly. In 2021, the volume of clues transferred accounted for about 70% of the national total. In this cooperation activity of intellectual property administrative protection of 12 provinces and cities, Shandong, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Anhui and other provinces have handed over the suspected infringement clues on the spot. Twelve provinces and cities received a total of 196 handover clues.

The scope of collaboration among the twelve provinces and cities has been gradually expanded from clue transfer to investigation and evidence collection, document delivery, etc. At the event, more than 550 key trademark protection lists of 12 provinces and cities were announced on site. The twelve provinces and cities will jointly increase the protection of registered trademarks on the list and jointly curb the phenomenon of copycat brand and malicious registered trademarks.

Relying on the protection cooperation mechanism, the twelve provinces and cities have strengthened regional cooperation in Beijing, Tianjin, Hebei, five provinces in North China and six provinces in Central China, promoting the overall improvement of the regional protection level and forming an integrated cross-regional intellectual property protection work pattern. In the inspection and assessment of the central government on local Party Committees and governments in respect of the work of intellectual property protections in 2021, all twelve provinces and cities had excellent assessment results. In the 2021 national intellectual property administrative protection performance evaluation, the top ten provinces and cities in the country are all the twelve provinces and cities participating in the collaboration.

The person in charge of the Department of Intellectual Property Protection of the State Intellectual Property Office stated that in the next step, it will continue to thoroughly implement the relevant decisions and arrangements of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on strengthening cross regional cooperation in intellectual property protection and strengthen the guidance of cross regional cooperation in intellectual property administrative protection, it will also continuely improve the cross regional cooperation mechanism for intellectual property administrative protection as well as promote the creation of more regional intellectual property protection Highlands, Providing strong support for stabilizing the macroeconomic macro and promoting high-quality economic and social development.


ZLWD Commentary:

The twelve provinces and cities collaborative activities are aimed at improving and strengthening the administrative protection of intellectual property rights collaboration mechanism, as well as stabilize the market order, and combat infringement through cross-regional and cross-administrative means. This action not only reflects the importance China attaches to the protection of intellectual property rights, but also shows the determination to combat infringement. In the long run, this will promote the high-quality development of China's social economy.

On July 5, 2022, the Beijing Court Judgment Information Network made public a civil judgment of the first instance in a dispute over copyright ownership and infringement between Zhang Liebai and Beijing Bad Monkey Culture Industry Development Co.(hereinafter referred to as Bad Monkey) for using the plaintiff's photo of the Guptab Tower and the mosque next to it (hereinafter referred to as the artwork in question) taken during the plaintiff's trip to New Delhi, India in the movie without permission. The plaintiff, Zhang Liebai, sued Bad Monkey, the copyright owner of the movie Dying To Survive, to the court. After the trial, the Chaoyang court found that the bad monkey company's behavior infringed the plaintiff's copyright on the work in question, and ruled that it stopped the infringement, eliminate the impact and compensate the plaintiff for economic losses of 20,000 yuan.

Plaintiff Zhang Liebai said that on December 13, 2015, he published a travelogue in Ma Feng WO Platform, in which the work in question was published, and later found that the defendant Bad Monkey Company used the photo in Dying To Survive. The plaintiff believed that the defendant Bad Monkey Company's behavior infringed its right of attribution, reproduction, protection of work integrity, information network dissemination and right to receive remuneration for the work in question, so it brought Bad Monkey Company to Chaoyang Court, requesting the court to order the defendant to immediately stop the infringement and eliminate the impact, and compensate the plaintiff for economic loss of 480,000 yuan.

In response to the plaintiff's lawsuit, the defendant Bad Monkey argued that, firstly, the plaintiff was not a competent plaintiff in this case, and the work in question was marked with the word "AperLink", which should belong to Shanghai Yichen Qixiao Culture Media Co. Secondly, in the lawyer's letter sent by the plaintiff in March 2020, the photos attached were different from the works involved in the case, although the plaintiff claimed that the photos were sent by mistake, the possibility that the plaintiff re-edited and modified the photos could not be ruled out. Thirdly, the differences between the infringing works and the works involved in the case were obvious and could not be regarded as the same work. Fourthly, even if the court found that the infringing works and the works involved in the case had the same nature, the defendant's use did not constitute infringement, but was for the purpose of introducing or commenting on a certain work or illustrating a certain issue. Fifth, even if the court finally finds that the defendant infringes, the amount of compensation claimed by the plaintiff is too high. For these reasons, the defendant requested the court to reject all of the plaintiff's claims.

The Chaoyang court organized the parties to exchange evidence and cross-examination, and then the Chaoyang court found that, according to the electronic negative submitted by the plaintiff, the photo was taken on September 20, 2015. And the plaintiff claimed that he was a shareholder of the Toshiharu Qishuo Company, and Toshiharu Qishuo Company was the business entity of "AperLink Image Studio", so he loaded the word "AperLink" watermark on the work in question, and the plaintiff submitted the "information note" issued by Toshiharu Qishuo Company, which recognized that the copyright of the work in question belonged to the plaintiff.

The Chaoyang Court also found that the movie in question was filmed in 2017 and, according to the credits, the copyright was enjoyed by the defendant Bad Monkey Company. In the picture appearing at 2:35 in the opening of the movie, the camera sweeps past the health care store run by the male lead, and the infringing work appears on the photo wall, which accounts for about one-sixth of the picture, and the duration of the footage appears is 2 seconds. By comparison, the infringing work is basically the same as the work in question in terms of picture structure, color, shooting angle, light and shadow, but without the watermark of the word "AperLink". In addition, the court pointed out that the defendant did not submit direct evidence to prove the defense that the plaintiff could not exclude the possibility of editing and modifying the photos.

After hearing, the Chaoyang Court held that, according to the relevant evidence, the plaintiff enjoyed the copyright of the photographic works in question and had the right to bring a lawsuit in its own name against the infringement of the copyright of the works in question.

The Chaoyang Court also held that the film in question was shot in 2017, and the plaintiff shot and published the work in question in 2015, which was earlier, so the defendant had access to the plaintiff's artwork in question when it shot the film. By comparison, it can be concluded that the photos used in the film in question are the plaintiff's photographic works. The relevant behaviors of the defendant infringed the plaintiff's reproduction right, information network dissemination right and attribution right of the work in question.

As for the plaintiff's claim that the defendant infringed on its right to protect the integrity of the work, the court held that, although the defendant removed the watermark of the photo in question, but did not intentionally or maliciously misinterpret the artwork, and did not make damaging changes to the artwork, to the extent of distortion, tampering. Therefore, the court did not support the plaintiff's claim in this regard.

Regarding the defendant's defense of reasonable use, the court held that although the film in question showed the artwork in question completely and directly, but it did not introduce or comment on the artwork itself, nor did it cite the artwork to illustrate other issues. Instead, it showed the artwork in one-sixth of the screen for 2 seconds. The defendant used the work without authorization or payment to the plaintiff, which has affected the plaintiff's authorization of its work and the corresponding economic benefits, which conflicts with the plaintiff's normal use of the work. Under such circumstances, the defendant's use of the work in question cannot be deemed to constitute fair use under the Copyright Law.

For the above reasons, taking into account the popularity of the movie involved, the difficulty of filming, the subjective fault of the defendant, the circumstances of the infringement, the use of film and television sex, and the contribution rate of the works involved in the film, the Chaoyang Court ruled that the defendant Bad Monkey Company should stop the infringement involved, eliminate the impact and compensate the plaintiff with economic loss of RMB 20,000. The judgment is now in effect.


ZLWD Commentary:

In this case, although the plaintiff's photo only appeared in the movie for 2 seconds and did not become the main part of the movie, but from the point of view of law and protection of intellectual property rights, 2 seconds is sufficient to constitute infringement and produce substantial economic damage to the original creator. The defendant has used the plaintiff's photo to create a high quality film, but how can it not be held liable for the theft? Therefore, this case also warns the public that even the smallest details should not be infringed or illegal.

Recently, at the "Bringing in' and 'going out' in high quality development" Beijing Overseas Intellectual Property Protection Achievements Release and Theme Salon, Beijing Municipal Intellectual Property Office guided Beijing Intellectual Property Rights Protection Assistance Center to set up the first batch of Beijing Overseas Intellectual Property Rights Protection Service Liaison Stations in ten units, including Zhongguancun Software Park, Wangjing Science and Technology Park, Beijing Sino-German Industrial Park and Beijing Sino-Japan Innovation Cooperation Demonstration Zone.

Focusing on the construction of the international science and  the "two zones", combining the needs of innovation subjects, the Beijing Intellectual Property Rights Protection Assistance Center also launched the analysis of cross-border IPR litigation strategy, the guide of IPR protection in the process of cross-border R&D and talent introduction, and the "Beijing Overseas Intellectual Property Rights Public Service Information Database Version 2.0" to provide overseas IPR protection and assistance services. Among them, the information database can be used by innovation entities in Beijing, Tianjin and Hebei regions to view the resources and achievements of Beijing's overseas IPR rights protection assistance services, and provide guidance on responding to overseas IPR disputes by combining online and offline services.

The relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Intellectual Property Office indicated that since the establishment of the Beijing branch of the National Overseas Intellectual Property Dispute Response Guidance Center was approved in 2020, the "five-in-one" comprehensive service system for overseas intellectual property rights protection originated from Beijing including response guidance, information system, expert support, talent service and analysis and research has provided guidance to a number of "going out" enterprises to properly resolve overseas IPR disputes. The next step will be to further improve the coordination of the city's resources, focus on the realistic needs of enterprises, and further improve the mechanism for responding to foreign-related IPR disputes. Besides, it will continue to enrich the database of overseas intellectual property rights protection experts and overseas intellectual property rights public service information database, play the role of the city's unique intellectual property rights public service system, extend overseas intellectual property rights protection services to the grassroots level, as well as effectively provide guidance and facilitate access to information for enterprises to resolve overseas intellectual property rights disputes, and continuously enhance the international competitive strength of market players' intellectual property rights and the city's international interaction ability.


ZLWD Commentary:

Beijing's overseas IPR protection liaison stations are a typical example of China's integration into the world and into the future. Under the development of globalization, more and more Chinese enterprises are expanding their markets overseas. Such a liaison station can fully help enterprises understand how to protect their intellectual property rights overseas, which is an important guarantee for the sustainable development and competitiveness of enterprises.

Moxibustion is one of the most important Chinese medical treatments. However, natural moxibustion produces flame and a lot of smoke during the burning process, which is a safety hazard. Recently, led by researcher Li Jiangtao, a team of Low Temperature Materials and Superconductive Applied Research Center from Technical Institute of Physics and Chemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences, has successfully solved the above problem with new materials and developed related devices after years of research.

Dr. Shuang Shuang Shuang, as a member of the Functional Ceramics Team, introduced to the public that “When the natural moxa column burns, the center temperature is 760 degrees and the exterior temperature is 470 degrees. In order to make the moxibustion instrument achieve the simulation effect, we purchased moxibustion instruments from seven or eight companies on the market. Through testing, we found that the moxibustion temperature of these devices did not exceed 300 degrees, which would greatly reduce the effect of moxibustion.”Dr. Shuang Shuang Shuang also mentioned that through further exploration, the team realized that in order to improve the temperature of the moxibustion instrument, it is necessary to work hard on the production materials. The use of magnesium-doped zirconia and graphene infrared ceramic blocks as heat source materials has two benefits. Firstly, the infrared emissivity will not decrease when working at high temperature for a long time because of the use of conductivity and oxidation resistance of the material. Secondly, by changing the ceramic/graphene ratio and the amount of magnesium doping, precise regulation of its emissivity and radiation intensity in the wide spectral range of near, mid and far infrared can be under control. These two key technologies ensure the high simulation of natural moxibustion by the new infrared ceramic material, both in terms of heat generation temperature and radiation spectrum. The Functional Ceramics Team has submitted patent applications for "an infrared ceramic material that simulates the emission spectrum of moxibustion".

 

ZLWD Commentary:

Moxibustion is a traditional Chinese medical treatment that is very popular even in today's modern environment. The Functional Ceramic Team, led by LI Jiangtao, has further "upgraded" moxibustion by using new materials. And most importantly, this invention has preserved the development of traditional moxibustion therapy in China and made it possible to continue the tradition of Chinese medicine in modern society.
