On the occasion of World Intellectual Property Day 2026, WIPO Collection of Leading Judgments on Intellectual Property Right – People's Republic of China (2019-2023), jointly compiled by the WIPO and the Supreme People's Court of China, was officially released. This bilingual (Chinese-English) casebook comprises 66 typical cases and serves as an important reference text in the global IP field.

Centered on a "practice-oriented" approach, the casebook covers all areas of intellectual property, including both traditional categories and cutting-edge fields such as trade secrets and integrated circuit layout designs. It encompasses civil, administrative, and criminal cases, clearly presenting trends in relevant judicial adjudication.

The WIPO Director General and the Vice President of China's Supreme People's Court co-authored a foreword for the casebook, emphasizing that such cross-border cooperation serves as an important vehicle for the exchange of IP judicial experiences globally, facilitating the integration of concepts and practices across different legal systems.

As a continuation of the bilateral cooperation, this casebook is not the first of its kind. The two parties had previously jointly released the first volume, and moreover, the judgments of many typical IP cases from Chinese courts have been included in the WIPO Lex global database.

For IP practitioners worldwide, the core value of this casebook lies in its "reference value", providing concrete guidance for the resolution of cross-border IP disputes and the harmonization of rules—which is key to its long-term value to the industry.
