By Wang Shanshan and Cao Li (China Daily)
Updated: 2008-04-21 09:19 "And the number of cases filed by foreign companies or individuals is also on the rise." From 1994, when courts in Shanghai began to set up individual departments to try IPR cases, more than 8,000 cases have been heard. Nearly 6,000 of them were tried in the past five years. The number of IPR-related cases grows by 10 percent every year, according to Ying. In 2007, 11.3 percent of IPR cases involved a foreign party. Most of them are filed by companies or individuals from the US, Japan, Britain, Germany, France and the Netherlands. And more people are being sentenced to jail for infringements. A man in Shanghai's Qipu Market selling fake Levis jeans was given a 3-year suspended imprisonment. He was later sued by Levis and made to pay compensation of 500,000 yuan ($71,400).
