SPC's Intellectual Property Court ordered a record high compensation of 159 million yuan (around $24.6 million) for the theft of technology secrets in an appeal case.
It is believed to be the largest compensation that the country's courts have awarded in commercial secret infringement disputes.
A chemical producer based in East China's Zhejiang province was found guilty of stealing technology secrets about vanillin from another company based in the same province and shall pay the sum in compensation to the obligee, the tribunal said in its ruling.
