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

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

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 中国法院知识产权司法保护状况(2022).indd 302023/4/17 15:51:3231-in 25 cases;a total of 169 million yuan was

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 中国法院知识产权司法保护状况(2022).indd 312023/4/17 15:51:3232-number of IP cases newly accepted by primary peoples courts acc

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

94、(2022).indd 332023/4/17 15:51:3234-adjudicated by the intellectual property courts,intermediate peoples courts of provincial capitals,and intermediate peoples courts designated by the Supreme Peoples Court.This effectively promoted the nationwide application of consistent judicial standards in techn

96、chnology secrets,plant variety rights,and invention patents,which provided useful guidance for trial practices.In addition,the Supreme Peoples Court conducted research on the implementation of judicial interpretations such as Provisions on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Tria
97、l of Civil Cases involving Patent Disputes Related to Drugs Applied for Registration in order to quickly summarize the trial experience.In the trial of the patent right ownership dispute over the“dust removal device and system for gasification furnaces”,the Supreme Peoples Court defined the right ba
