Lawmakers are the end of governance; Innovators are the soul of national progress. Currently, the wave of innovation is surging forward, and the cultivation and growth of new quality productivity is a long and arduous task. 2025 is the final year of the 14th Five Year Plan and the seventh year of the establishment of the Intellectual Property Court of the Supreme People's Court (hereinafter referred to as the Intellectual Property Court). Over the past seven years, intellectual property courts have provided professional support for innovation and legal protection for development. With fair judgments, practical measures, and effective mediation, they have injected strong legal momentum into the development of new quality productivity. On January 28th, the Supreme People's Court held a press conference to release the seventh anniversary of the operation of the national level intellectual property case appeal and trial mechanism, the "Annual Report of the Supreme People's Court Intellectual Property Court (2025)", the mediation work of the Supreme People's Court Intellectual Property Court, and typical cases, demonstrating the significant achievements of the Intellectual Property Court in stimulating and safeguarding technological innovation, maintaining fair market competition, and serving high-level opening up to the outside world. This demonstrates the importance that the Intellectual Property Court attaches to and fully utilizes the unique role and practical efforts of judicial mediation in substantive dispute resolution. Over the past seven years, the intellectual property court has broken through the centralized jurisdiction and improved the quality of trial management, further unifying the standards of judgment and enhancing the quality and efficiency of trials. Since the establishment of the Intellectual Property Court, the acceptance of 24602 cases and the conclusion of 23069 cases are not only a set of numbers, but also a vivid footnote to the continuous efforts of China's intellectual property judicial protection. Over the past seven years, the Intellectual Property Court has solved the problem of inconsistent judgment standards and effectively addressed the concerns of parties about local protection by centralizing jurisdiction over technology related intellectual property and monopoly appeal cases nationwide, forming a large number of judgment rules. Over the past seven years, the Intellectual Property Court has adhered to the collective study of major and difficult cases through professional judge conferences, holding 558 professional judge conferences to strengthen the responsibility of trial supervision and management, and ensure the uniformity of judgment standards. Adhering to the principles of 'if possible, do not issue' and 'if possible, investigate to the fullest extent', the second instance revision rate and withdrawal rate of civil substantive cases such as infringement and ownership have significantly increased compared to the past. The average trial period for jurisdictional cases in 2025 is only 25.3 days. The improvement of trial quality and efficiency enables innovative vitality to continue to flourish in a stable and efficient legal environment. Over the past seven years, intellectual property courts have been providing precise protection and empowering foreign-related justice, further strengthening judicial guarantees for the implementation of the national innovation driven development strategy and intellectual property strategy. Since its establishment, the Intellectual Property Court has firmly established a clear orientation of legal protection, strict protection, and efficient protection, fully leveraging the advantages of court work at the national level, and effectively strengthening the legal protection of intellectual property and fair competition. Firstly, effective service guarantees the development of new quality productivity, and the proportion of cases involving strategic emerging industries has significantly increased compared to seven years ago. The second is to effectively increase protection efforts, with 73 cases of high compensation exceeding 10 million yuan, totaling 5.24 billion yuan in compensation, allowing the victims of infringement to "heal their wounds". Thirdly, the effectiveness of judicial anti-monopoly measures has been effectively utilized, and the conclusion of monopolistic entity cases involves many technological and livelihood fields such as medicine, communication, e-commerce, education, construction, and funeral. Various measures have been taken to safeguard the cultivation of new quality productivity and build a strong legal barrier for the healthy development of industries. Nowadays, the judicial credibility and international influence of intellectual property courts have been further enhanced, and more and more foreign entities choose Chinese courts to resolve intellectual property disputes, contributing Chinese wisdom and solutions to global intellectual property governance. Seven years of walking, Yu Ru has achieved success. Today's China is accelerating its transformation from a major importer of intellectual property to a major creator of intellectual property, and the importance of judicial protection of intellectual property is increasingly prominent. 2026 is the beginning year of the 15th Five Year Plan. Standing at a new starting point, intellectual property courts will actively play the role of the national level intellectual property case appeal and trial mechanism, continuously improve the quality and efficiency of trials, and allow innovation to surge under intellectual property judicial protection, providing strong intellectual property and fair competition legal guarantees for accelerating the development of new quality productivity.
