The dramatic rise of patent litigation in China in recent years
has created a need for insight into how the system
performs—what kinds of cases are brought, how those cases
turn out, and the potential risks posed by remedies in those
cases.
In this post, we discuss the salient trends that have emerged
from Chinese litigation data, focusing on the composition of
caseloads for Chinese courts as well as on win rates and remedies
at a system-wide level. Our dataset covers approximately 21,000
cases spanning more than a decade, from 2006 to the present. While
the forthcoming integration of the data into RPX Insight will help
practitioners answer more detailed questions for themselves, this
post provides a first look at the available data.
