Shanghai: SOEs violate IP

2013/05/30

State-owned enterprises were found liable in some 88 percent of intellectual property cases filed against them from 2008 to 2012, according to a judicial white paper released by Shanghai No 2 Intermediate People's Court. Factors that led to violations include weak awareness of IP management and protection at SOEs, said the report. It also noted that SOEs were plaintiffs in 40 cases and defendants in 131 disputes, about 76.6 percent of the total investigated.
