guidance issued by the Supreme People's Court regarding
civil cases relating to the IP rights of e-commerce platforms;
a response from the Supreme People's Court to several issues
concerning the application of law in online IP infringement
disputes;
provisions issued by the Supreme People's Court regarding
evidence in IP rights civil actions;
