习近平总书记在庆祝改革开放40周年大会上发表重要讲话，深刻总结改革开放的伟大成就和宝贵经验，明确提出把新时代改革开放继续推向前进的目标要求，突出强调要实施创新驱动发展战略，完善国家创新体系，加快关键核心技术自主创新。中共中央办公厅、国务院办公厅联合印发的《关于加强知识产权审判领域改革创新若干问题的意见》明确指出，要充分发挥知识产权司法保护的主导作用。2018年，海南法院在最高人民法院的指导下，在各级党委、政府的支持以及人大和社会各界监督下，全面贯彻落实党的十九大精神，坚持围绕中心、服务大局理念，紧紧围绕海南自贸区（港）建设司法需求，积极推进审判工作机制创新，妥善处理各类涉知识产权案件，塑造良好的知识产权司法保护高地形象，着力营建法治化、国际化、便利化的营商环境及公平开放统一高效的市场环境。
In his speech at the convention celebrating the 40th Anniversary of Reform and Opening-up, President Xi Jinping summed up great achievements and valuable experience gained, and articulated the goal and the requirements to press ahead with the reform and opening-up in the new era. Specifically, he highlighted the importance of implementing the strategy for innovation-driven development, improving the innovation systems and expediting proprietary innovations of key and core technologies. More still, according to the “Opinions on Issues of Strengthening Reforms and Innovation in Intellectual Property Trials”, jointly released by the General Office of the CPC Central Committee and the General Office of the State Council, judicial protection of intellectual property (IP) should play a leading role. In 2018, under the guidance of the Supreme People’s Court, thanks to the support of the Party Committees and governments at all levels, and under the supervision of the People’s Congress and all social communities, Hainan courts pursued innovative working mechanisms of adjudication, properly handled the IP related cases, in the spirit of the 19th CPC National Congress, by focusing on the central tasks and serving the overall objective, and by considering the judicial needs in developing the Hainan Free Trade Zone (Port). All the efforts are made to shape a good image of the judicial protection of intellectual property, build a law-based, international and convenient environment for doing business, and develop a market environment that is fair, open, harmonized and efficient.
一、充分发挥审判职能，公正高效审理案件
I. Fully exercising the adjudication functions for just and efficient trial
2018年，海南法院积极履行知识产权审判职能，依法公正高效审理各类知识产权案件，树立裁判规则，化解社会矛盾，保护知识产权权利人的合法权益，制止侵权人的侵权行为，维护公平竞争的社会主义市场经济秩序。
In 2018, Hainan courts actively performed their adjudication functions for IP cases, heard IP cases according to law in a just and efficient manner, set up the rules of judgment, defused social contradictions, protected the legitimate rights and interests of IP holders, deterred the acts of infringers, to maintain the order of the socialist market economy with a level playing field.
（一）全省知识产权案件审理情况
i. Adjudication of IP cases in Hainan
2018年全省法院共受理知识产权案件853件(含旧存)，审结835件，结案率为97.88%；与2017年受理333件和审结319件案件相比，增幅分别达156.16%和161.76%。在案件收案数、结案数均成倍增长的情况下，通过审判质效的有效提高，结案率较2017年提升2.1个百分点。2018年受理的853件知识产权案件中，民事案件776件，占比90.97%,数量较2017年的278件增加498件，占比较2017年的83.48%上升7.49%；刑事案件75件，占比8.79%，数量较2017年的52件增加23件，占比较2017年的15.62%下降6.83%；行政案件2件，占比0.23%，数量较2017年的3件减少1件，占比较2017年的0.9%下降0.67%。2018年无知识产权再审案件。相比2017年，总体而言，2018年知识产权案件数量大幅增加，知识产权审判效率明显提升。在案件结构上，民事案件数量增长突出，表明我省知识产权经济愈发活跃；刑事案件数量有一定增长，表明我省公检法机关打击知识产权犯罪衔接机制运行良好，运用多种方式遏制犯罪，知识产权司法合力保护成效显著；行政案件数量与往年基本持平，占比较小，说明我省建立的知识产权司法机关与行政机关沟通机制运行良好。
In 2018, the courts throughout the province accepted and heard 853 IP cases (including carried forward cases) and 835 were concluded, with recording a case closing rate of 97.88%; compared with the 333 cases accepted and heard and 319 cases closed in 2017, the number increased by 156.16% and 161.76% respectively. Despite the number of cases accepted and closed both doubled, the case closing rate rose by 2.1 percentage points from 2017, thanks to rising quality and efficiency of trials. Of all the 853 cases accepted and heard in 2018, 776 were civil cases, 498 cases more than that of 2017 (278 cases), and the proportion (90.97% of the total in 2018) was 7.49% higher than that in 2017 (83.48% of the total); 75 were criminal cases, 23 cases more than that of 2017(52 cases), the proportion (8.79% of the total) was 6.83% lower than that of 2017 (15.62% of the total); 2 were administrative cases, one case less than that in 2017, and the proportion (0.23% in 2018) was 0.67% lower than that of 2017 ( 0.9% ). In 2018, there was no case for retrial. Compared with 2017, 2018 witnessed a substantial increase in the number of IP cases and a considerable improvement of IP adjudication efficiency. In terms of the types of cases, the number of civil cases increased significantly, which testifies to the rising IP activities in the province; the number of criminal cases rose slightly, but it shows the referral mechanism of IP cases functions well among the public security organs, the procuratorial authorities and the courts. Judicial protection of IP was achieved through multiple means to deter crimes; the number of administrative cases remained the same as that of the previous year, taking only a small proportion of all the total cases. It shows that the mechanism established by the province for communications between IP judicial authority and administrative authority is working well.

按审级分，2018年一审受理知识产权案件644件，占比75.50%，二审知识产权案件209件，占比24.50%，上诉率为32.45%，较2017年的上诉率11.37%有所上升。主要原因：一是2018年知识产权案件受理数量大幅上升，权利人通过司法救济途径维权的意识增强；二是新类型、疑难复杂知识产权案件的比例不断提高，当事人之间的争议点增多，案件审理难度加大；三是2018年知识产权侵权系列案较多，系列案上诉所占比例较大。二审法院审结的208宗案件中，诉讼案件188件，其中维持19件，调撤91件，改判76件（多数为音集协诉KTV著作权侵权系列案），发回重审1件，改判率为40.43%，发回重审率为0.53%，发改率合计40.96%，较2017年上升10.19%。伴随案件数量大幅攀升及案多人少的现状，加之知识产权新类型案件增多等原因，知识产权审判面临新的挑战。此外，二审法院还审结了20宗其他类型知识产权案件。
In terms of trial levels, the number of first-instance IP cases accepted and heard in 2018 was 644, accounting for 75.50%; the number of second-instance IP cases was 209, accounting for 24.50%, among which 32.45% of cases were appealed, which was higher than that of 2017 (11.37%). The higher appeal rate in 2018 resulted from: 1. substantial increase in the number of the IP cases accepted and heard, and IP holders’ stronger awareness of safeguarding their rights through judicial remedies; 2. higher proportion of complicated and new types of IP cases and more disputes between the concerned parties, resulting in more difficulties in adjudication; 3. rising serial IP infringements in 2018, with the appealed serial cases accounting for a larger proportion. Out of the 208 second-instance cases concluded by courts, 188 went through litigation, 19 were sustained, 91 were discontinued after mediation and withdrawal, 76 received changes of judgment (mostly involving the serial case of China Audio-Video Copyright Associations accusing KTV operators of copyright infringement) and one was remanded for retrial. The rate of amendment of judgment was 40.43%, and the remand rate was 0.53%. Two figures combined (40.96%), it was 10.91% more than that in 2017. IP trial is faced with new challenges due to multiple reasons, e.g. the soaring number of cases yet inadequate staffing, and increasing IP cases of new types. Additionally, the second-instance courts also concluded 20 IP cases of other types.

2.知识产权刑事案件审理情况
2. Adjudication of criminal cases
2018年海南法院共受理75件知识产权刑事案件，数量较2017年的52件增加23件，增幅为44.23%，说明我省公检法机关不断加大知识产权刑事犯罪打击力度，取得较好成果。刑事案件的罪名涉及生产、销售伪劣商品罪，生产销售假药罪，生产、销售不符合安全标准的食品罪，生产、销售有毒、有害食品罪，假冒注册商标罪，销售假冒注册商标的商品罪，侵犯著作权罪，非法经营罪等。其中一审案件43件，审结36件，结案率83.72%，结案率较2017年降低7.95%。就罪名来看，生产、销售伪劣产品罪8件，约占18.60%；生产销售假药罪2件，约占4.65%；生产销售不符合安全标准的食品罪2件，约占4.65%；生产、销售有毒、有害食品罪8件，约占18.60%；销售假冒注册商标的商品罪9件，约占20.93%；非法经营罪14件，约占32.56%。刑事知识产权二审案件32件，其中12件为诉讼案件，上诉率为28.57%，较2017年的24.24%上升4.33%。二审审结的12宗案件中，包括生产、销售伪劣产品罪3件，约占25%；生产、销售假药罪3件，约占25%；生产、销售有毒、有害食品罪1件，约占8.33%；非法经营罪5件，约占41.67%。二审审结知识产权刑事案件32件，结案率为100%，在二审12件诉讼案件中，维持6件，撤回上诉2件，调撤率为16.67%，发回重审1件，发回重申率8.33%，改判3件，改判率25%。
In 2018, Hainan courts accepted and heard 75 criminal IP cases, 23 cases more than that in 2017 (52 cases), up by 44.23% year on year. It testified to the good results from the intensified fight against criminal offenses of intellectual property by the provincial public security organs, the procuratorial authorities and the courts. The cases involved crimes of manufacturing and selling counterfeit or shoddy goods, crimes of producing and selling fake drugs, crimes of producing and selling food that falls short of safety standards, crimes of producing and selling poisonous and hazardous food, crimes of counterfeiting registered trademarks, crimes of selling fake registered trademarks, crimes of infringing copyrights and crimes of illegal business operations. Of the 43 first-instance cases, 36 were concluded, accounting for 83.72%, down by 7.95% from 2017. 8 cases were charged as the crimes of producing and selling counterfeit and shoddy products, accounting for about 18.60%; 2 cases as the crimes of producing and selling fake drugs, accounting for about 4.65%; 2 cases as the crimes of producing and selling food that falls short of safety standards, accounting for about 4.65%; 8 cases as the crimes of producing and selling poisonous and hazardous food, accounting for about 18.60%; 9 cases as the crimes of selling fake registered trademarks, accounting for about 20.93%; 14 cases as the crimes of illegal business operations, accounting for about 32.56%.

（二） 2018年知识产权案件审理特点
ii.  Characteristics of IP cases heard in 2018
 
1. 案件数量持续大幅增加
1. Continued sharp increase in the number of cases
2018年海南法院共受理各类知识产权案件853件，较2017年的333件增加520件，增幅达156.16%。从案件的类型来看，2018年知识产权民事案件无论是数量还是比重，较2017年均大幅增长，从2017年的278件上升到2018年的776件，增加498件，增幅达179.14%。著作权、商标权相关的系列纠纷频发是2018年海南知识产权案件数量明显增加的主要原因，表明我省知识产权经济市场进一步活跃，尤其是海南自贸区（港）建设以来，创新发展环境不断优化，知识产权司法宣传成效突出，司法维权意识日益增强，权利人积极采用一揽子诉讼的方式维护自身合法权益，分摊后的维权成本明显降低，司法保障创新驱动发展的作用愈发明显。知识产权刑事案件数量较2017年的52件增加23件，增幅为44.23%，增速低于整体收案比例，说明通过有效的司法保护及各部门之间的协力合作，知识产权刑事打击力度不断加大，起到了一定的震慑作用。行政案件的数量较为稳定，与往年基本持平，2018年受理案件数为2件。
In 2018, Hainan courts accepted and heard 853 IP cases of all types, 520 more than that in 2017 (333 cases), up by 156.16% year on year. On a type-specific basis, civil IP cases in 2018 saw a considerable rise in both quantity and proportion than a year ago, as reflected by an increase of 498 to 776 from 278 in 2017 at a growth rate of 179.14%. The frequent occurrence of series cases related to copyright and trademark right disputes was the major reason for the obvious quantitative growth of IP-related cases in Hainan in 2018, attesting to the increased vitality of IP-related economic market in the province. In particular, since the construction of Hainan Free Trade Zone (Port) was initiated, with increasingly improved environment for innovation-driven development and effective publicity about IP judicial protection, public awareness for safeguarding IP rights through judicial means has been on the rise and right holders tend to protect their own legitimate rights and interests by using package litigation, which can lead to considerably lower cost after apportionment. Therefore, the role played by judiciary in supporting innovation-driven development has become even more evident. The number of criminal IP cases grew by 23 from 52 in 2017 at an increase rate of 44.23%, lower than that of the total number of accepted cases, proving that the intensifying efforts to crack down IP-related crimes had played a certain deterrent role through effective judicial protection and coordination among different departments. The number of administrative cases remained stable and basically stayed at the same level compared with a year ago, with 2 such cases accepted in 2018. 



 2. 案件地域分布不均
 2. Uneven regional distribution of cases
就2018年知识产权案件的地区分布来看，海口市中级人民法院2018年受理的知识产权案件数量回归全省首位，这与海口市作为全省的政治经济文化中心，多部门联合知识产权战略协作以及人民群众对知识产权的维权意识进一步提高等因素相关。海口中院与三亚中院的案件数量明显多于省一中院、省二中院，说明我省知识产权经济发展仍存在地区发展不平衡的问题。
In terms of regional distribution of IP cases in 2018, Haikou Intermediate People’s Court took the lead in terms of the number of IP cases accepted and heard in the year. This was associated with factors such as the city’s status as the political, economic and cultural center of the province, strategic collaboration among multiple departments and further enhancement of public awareness for safeguarding IP rights. The number of cases in Haikou Intermediate People’s Court and Sanya Intermediate People’s Court was obviously higher than that of the First Intermediate People’s Court of Hainan Province and the Second Intermediate People’s Court of Hainan Province, revealing the problem of regional disparity in IP-related economic development in the province.

3.民事案件以系列侵权纠纷为主
3. Civil cases mainly featuring series infringement disputes 
2018年案件数量大幅增加的主要原因在于著作权、商标权及专利权的系列诉讼案件频发，如中国音像著作权集体管理协会（以下简称音集协）诉我省各卡拉OK经营者共300余宗著作权侵权纠纷系列案、中粮集团有限公司提起的多起商标权侵权纠纷案、小米科技有限公司提起的专利权侵权系列纠纷案等。2018年审理的600件知识产权一审民事案件中，著作权纠纷案件384件，商标权纠纷案件166件，合计约占91.67%，数量较2017年增加430件；专利权纠纷案件27件，约占4.50%,数量较2017年下降21件；其他类型案件共计23件，约占3.83%，数量较2017年增加18件。从具体的案件统计中可以看出，数量增加部分的知识产权案件基本为著作权纠纷、商标权纠纷系列案件。由于相当比例的知识产权案件都具有单个案件赔偿金额不多但潜在侵权主体众多的特点，权利人多选择商业维权的方式降低维权成本，因此知识产权民事案件中系列案较多。
The main reason for the sharp increase of cases in 2018 was the frequent occurrence of series lawsuit cases involving copyrights, trademark rights and patent rights, such as the over 300 series cases of copyright infringement disputes filed by China Audio-Video Copyright Association (CAVCA) against Karaoke club operators in Hainan, the multiple cases of trademark right infringement disputes brought by COFCO Corporation, and the series cases of patent right infringement disputes initiated by Xiaomi Technology. The 600 first-instance civil IP cases heard in 2018 included 384 cases of copyright disputes and 166 cases of trademark right disputes, together accounting for about 91.67% of the total and up by 430 over that in 2017; 27 cases are over patent right disputes, accounting for about 4.50% and down by 21; and 23 cases are of other types, accounting for about 3.83% and up by 18. As can be seen from the specific case statistics, basically all the increase in IP cases involved series cases of disputes over copyright or trademark right. Given that quite a number of IP cases do not incur high amount of compensation on a single-case basis but involve a large number of potential infringers, most right holders opted for commercial agencies to stand for their rights protection to lower cost. This is why there had been so many series lawsuits in civil IP cases.
4.刑事案件主要为涉民生的制假售假犯罪案
4. Criminal cases mainly featuring crimes of producing and selling fake goods concerning people’s livelihood
刑事诉讼案件中，涉及生产、销售伪劣产品罪、生产、销售假药罪、生产、销售不符合安全标准的食品罪及生产、销售有毒、有害食品罪的案件为27宗，占到了刑事诉讼案件的50.94%。这些案件均事关老百姓身体健康、消费安全等生活福祉，法院在审理过程中高度重视，严格按照法律及《关于〈食品药品行政执法与刑事司法衔接工作办法〉的实施细则》等文件要求，加大打击力度，坚持从严惩处，有力保障了人民群众切身利益。
Of all the criminal cases, 27 involved crimes of manufacturing and selling counterfeit and shoddy products, fake drugs, food that fall short of safety standards, poisonous food or hazardous food, taking up 50.94% of the total. These cases concerned the physical health, consumption safety and other wellbeing of the people. Therefore, Hainan courts paid high attention to the hearing of these cases and effectively protected the vital interests of the people by strengthening efforts and insisting on imposing severe punishment in strict compliance with the requirements of laws and regulations including the “Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the Measures for Integrating Administrative Law Enforcement with Criminal Judiciary Concerning Food and Drugs”.
5. 知识产权案件调撤比例较高
5. High proportion of IP cases mediated and withdrawn
调解有利于真正化解纠纷矛盾，人民法院积极主持调解，有利于引导当事人在当下的商业模式中寻找新的合作方式。知识产权作为创新型权利，其实现的价值更多来自于对权利的运用。因此，在受理知识产权案件后，人民法院通过积极地释法析理，提供参考调解方案，化非法侵权为合作共赢，效果良好。2018年，海南法院知识产权民事案件调解撤诉共263件，调撤率为34.33%，二审知识产权案件调撤率达到50.57%，实现了法律效果与社会效果的统一。
Mediation contributes to the real resolution of disputes and contradictions. Mediation chaired by a people’s court can help guide the interested parties in finding new ways of cooperation among existing business models. IP is an innovative right and its value is mostly realized in utilization. Therefore, if a people’s court takes the initiative to explain and analyze the law for parties concerned and provide mediation plan for their reference, there will be good effect of turning illegal infringement into win-win cooperation. In 2018, Hainan courts enabled the withdrawal of 263 civil IP cases through mediation, achieving a ratio of mediation and withdrawal of 34.33% for all cases and 50.57% for second-instance IP cases, delivering both legal and social benefits.

二、发挥司法主导作用，以创新保障自贸区（港）建设
II. Leveraging the leading role of judiciary to support the construction of Hainan Free Trade Zone (Port) with innovation
司法水平是自贸区（港）建设的核心竞争力之一。为此，最高人民法院于2018年专门下发了《关于为海南全面深化改革开放提供司法服务和保障的意见》，积极支持海南法院发挥司法主导作用，为全面提升海南深化改革开放提供司法服务和保障。
An efficient judicial system is one of the core competitiveness of free trade zones (ports). To this end, the Supreme People’s Court specially issued the “Opinions on Providing Judicial Service and Support for Hainan in its Deepening of All-Round Reform and Opening-up” in 2018 to support Hainan courts in leveraging the leading role of judiciary to provide judicial service and support for Hainan’s efforts in comprehensively deepening reform and opening-up.             
（一）强化司法保护，统一裁判尺度
i. Strengthening judicial protection with unified adjudication criteria
海南法院坚持严格公正司法，充分发挥审判机构专门化、审判人员专职化和审判工作专业化的优势，统一知识产权司法裁判标准和尺度，确保知识产权案件审判质量和效率。如海南高院在2018年审理的76宗音集协诉三亚卡拉OK营业厅的系列案中，针对目前我省各中院裁判尺度不一的情况，分管民商事审判工作的***副院长亲自担任审判长，组成七人合议庭对该批案件进行公开审理。合议庭通过收集全国各省同类型案件进行统计和比对，结合海南本地经济发展状况及行业经营情况，改判一审确定的赔偿额每首歌曲150元为300元，不仅提高了侵权成本，加强了对权利人的保护力度，同时还统一了全省此类案件的裁判标准，避免了同案不同判现象的发生。
Hainan courts stick to strict and just adjudication. By giving full play to the advantages of specialized trial institutions, full-time trial teams and professional trial work, and through unified adjudication criteria and standards, courts in Hainan have ensured the quality and efficiency of trial for IP cases. For example, Hainan Higher People’s Court heard a series of 76 cases of CAVCA vs Karaoke Clubs in Sanya in 2018. To address the problem of differentiated adjudication criteria adopted at different intermediate courts in Hainan, Vice President in charge of trial of civil and commercial cases acted as the presiding judge and formed a seven-member collegiate bench to give public trial of the series cases. The collegiate bench gathered and compared statistics of similar cases in other provinces, took into account local economic development and operation situation of the industry in Hainan, and changed the original sentence by increasing the 150 yuan of compensation for every piece of song imposed in first-instance trial to 300 yuan each. This had not only raised the cost of infringement and strengthened the protection for right holders, but also unified the provincial criteria for trying such cases and prevented the occurrence of different judgment for same cases.
  （二）严厉打击食药犯罪，充分发挥司法震慑作用
   ii. Fully unleashing the deterrent role of judiciary to severely crack down on crimes concerning food and drugs
一是加大打击力度，严格适用缓刑。海南法院进一步深入贯彻落实习总书记“最严谨的标准、最严格的监管、最严厉的处罚、最严肃的问责”四个“最严”标准要求，要求全省法院对危害食品药品违法犯罪行为加大处罚打击力度，加重犯罪分子违法成本，严把缓刑适用标准，注重对财产刑的运用，追缴违法所得，增大罚金刑适用力度，提高犯罪分子的犯罪成本，依法适用禁止刑，禁止犯罪分子在一定期限内从事同种职业，剥夺其再犯罪的能力，进一步提升刑罚的震慑作用。
Firstly, intensifying crackdown efforts and tightening probation application standards. To further implement the requirements made by President Xi Jinping for the “most rigorous standards, the strictest regulation, the harshest punishment, and the most serious accountability”, Hainan courts were urged to ramp up the punishment and crackdown on crimes jeopardizing the safety of food and drugs and increase the law violation cost for criminals. The courts adopted strict standards for the application of probation, focused on the use of property-oriented penalties to recover illegal income, expanded the application scope of pecuniary penalty to raise the cost of law violation, and applied prohibition penalty as per law to prohibit criminals from engaging in the same occupation for a certain period of time and deprive them of the ability to commit crime again, thereby having further enhanced the deterrent effect of criminal penalty.


二是强化沟通机制，形成打击合力。为贯彻落实海南省高级人民法院、海南省人民检察院、海南省公安厅、海南省食品药品监督管理局、海南省食品安全委员会办公室联合印发的《关于<食品药品行政执法与刑事司法衔接工作办法>的实施细则》（以下简称《实施细则》），海南高院于2018年4月24日召开2018年度知识产权司法与行政保护座谈会暨联席会议，各成员单位就执行《实施细则》的情况，以及办理涉食药案件中存在的问题、意见和建议、探索知识产权审判与行政诉调对接机制新方式、对知识产权审判领域改革创新的意见和建议等进行了讨论，形成办理食品药品案件的长效沟通机制。与成员单位进一步协同合作，形成打击合力，有效打击涉食品药品安全犯罪。
Secondly, strengthening the communication mechanism to form a synergy of crackdown. To implement the “Detailed Rules for the Implementation of the ‘Measures for Integrating Administrative Law Enforcement with Criminal Judiciary Concerning Food and Drugs’” (the “Rules”) jointly released by Hainan High People’s Court, Hainan Provincial People’s Procuratorate, Department of Public Security of Hainan Province, Food and Drug Administration of Hainan Province and Office of the Food Safety Committee of Hainan Province, Hainan High People’s Court held the annual symposium and joint meeting on the judicial and administrative protection of IP on April 24, 2018. The member institutions discussed the implementation of the Rules, problems existing in handling cases concerning food and drugs, explorations made in innovative modes of integrating judicial trial with administrative mediation, and views and suggestions concerning reform and innovation in the field of IP-related adjudication. The discussions led to the creation of a long-term mechanism of communication for handling cases concerning food and drugs, closer coordination among the member institutions and a synergy of crackdown efforts on crimes threatening the safety of food and drugs.
 
三是坚持宽严相济，教育惩治相结合。海南法院对社会危害大，主观恶性强，拒不认罪，尤其是危害人民群众生命健康的犯罪行为，依法加大打击力度。对犯罪情节较轻、社会危害性和主观恶性较小，且具有法定、酌定从宽处罚情节的被告人，在认罪、悔罪，接受教育的前提下，海南法院均依法给予了从轻或者减轻处罚，体现了宽严相济的刑事政策。海口中院在对被告人吴振雄、郑景柳、郑景陆、郑景钱销售假冒注册商标的商品罪（假冒香烟）等案件中区分既遂及未遂、主犯及从犯、是否有坦白悔罪情节等予以从轻、减轻处罚，坚持“教育为主、惩罚为辅”原则进行处理。
Thirdly, adhering to tempering justice with mercy and combining punishment with education. Hainan courts severely crack down on crimes of great social harm and intensive subjective malignancy where the criminals refuse to admit their guilt, especially crimes that endanger the life and health of the public. While for defendants with less serious crimes that are of less social harm and subjective malignancy and with conditions eligible for statutory or discretionary lenient punishment, Hainan courts imposed lenient or reduced penalty according to the law under the premise that the defendants have pleaded guilt, showed repentance and received education, reflecting the criminal policy of tempering justice with mercy. When hearing the case of selling goods bearing counterfeit registered trademarks (fake cigarettes) involving defendants Wu Zhenxiong, Zheng Jingliu, Zheng Jinglu and Zheng Jingqian, Haikou Intermediate People’s Court drew a line between accomplished and attempted crimes, between the principal criminal and the accessories and between those who confessed and repented and those who did not in imposing lenient or reduced punishment, and handled the case in the principle of “education first, punishment second”.


（三）推动知识产权法庭建设，营造良好市场环境，实现知识产权专业化审判，更好服务海南自贸区（港）建设
iii. Promoting the establishment of the Intellectual Property Tribunal to realize specialized intellectual property adjudication, to create a sound market environment and better facilitate Hainan Free Trade Zone (Port) development.
习总书记在庆祝海南建省办经济特区30周年大会上的讲话中深刻指出，海南全岛建设自由贸易试验区，要以制度创新为核心，赋予更大改革自主权，支持海南大胆试、大胆闯、自主改，加快形成法治化、国际化、便利化的营商环境和公平开放统一高效的市场环境。
At the convention in celebration of the 30th anniversary of the establishment of Hainan as a province and a Special Economic Zone, President Xi Jinping pointed out that, to develop into an island-wide Free Trade Zone (Port), Hainan should be pivoted on institutional innovation, granted bigger autonomy to reform and given more support in its bold attempts in an aim to speed up the fostering of a law-based, international and convenient business environment as well as fair, open, unified and efficient market environment.


《中共中央 国务院关于支持海南全面深化改革开放的指导意见》明确提出，海南要实施创新驱动发展战略，加强国家南繁科研育种基地（海南）建设，建设航天领域重大科技创新基地和国家深海基地南方中心，鼓励探索知识产权证券化，完善知识产权信用担保机制。随着海南自由贸易区（港）建设的快速推进，对于高质量、高效率的知识产权审判需求会越来越急迫。知识产权案件专业性强、技术复杂，审理难度大，社会影响力广，必须走专业化审判之路。最高人民法院2018年8月1日发布的《关于为海南全面深化改革开放提供司法服务和保障的意见》（法发[2018]16号）明确表示支持海南设立知识产权法庭。对此，海南省委省政府高度重视，于2018年12月9日发布《海南省优化营商环境行动计划（2018-2019年）》，其中将设立知识产权法庭作为保护投资者的重大创新举措。为贯彻落实上述文件要求，更好地适应我省自贸区（港）建设的新形势和新需求，海南法院积极谋划和推动知识产权法庭，旨在集中全省法院优质审判力量，对全省知识产权一审案件进行集中管辖，提升审理的专业化能力和水平。设立专门的知识产权法庭，有利于充分发挥司法保护知识产权主导作用，促进知识产权运用和保护，健全技术创新激励机制，支持科技创新及其转型升级，推动建成与海南自贸区（港）建设目标相适应、有力支撑海南创新驱动的知识产权体系。海南省编委已复函海南高院表示支持设立海口知识产权法庭，最高人民法院也已正式批复同意我省设立海口知识产权法庭。海口知识产权法庭的建设正进入实质性操作阶段。
The “Guiding Opinions of the CPC Central Committee and the State Council on Supporting Hainan in Comprehensively Deepening Reform and Opening-up” explicitly points out that Hainan should adopt innovation-driven development strategy, promote the building of Nanfan Seed Breeding Base, a base for major scientific and technological innovation in aerospace and the South Center of National Deep Sea Base, encourage explorations in securitization of intellectual property and improve the credit guarantee mechanism for intellectual property rights. As Hainan rapidly advance its Free Trade Zone (Port) development, there is an urgent call for efficient and fair adjudication of IP cases. Efforts should be made to enhance specialized handling of IP trials featuring high expertise, complexity and significant social impact. “Opinions on Providing Judicial Service and Guarantees for Hainan to Comprehensively Deepening of Reform and Opening-up” issued by the Supreme People’s Court on August 1st, 2018 explicitly states that support will be given to Hainan in its efforts to set up an intellectual property tribunal. Hainan Provincial Party Committee of the CPC and Provincial People’s Government responded with close attention and published the “Action Plans on Optimizing Hainan’s Business Environment (2018-2019)” on December 9, 2018, in which the establishment of an intellectual property tribunal is listed as a major innovative measure to protect investors.
To better implement the documents listed above and meet the new demands of Hainan Free Trade Zone (Port) development, Hainan courts have been actively planning and promoting the establishment of an intellectual property tribunal to enhance the quality and capabilities of the adjudication by pooling the best courts resource of Hainan Province and strengthening centralized jurisdiction over the first instance of IP cases.
Establishing specialized intellectual property tribunal could enhance the leading role of judiciary in IP protection, promote IP application and protection and improve the incentive mechanism for technology innovation and upgrading, contributing to the building of an IP protection institution that is in line with the vision of Hainan Free Trade Zone (Port) and supportive of Hainan’s innovation-driven development. Upon the official approval of Hainan Provincial Personnel & Establishments Commission and the Supreme People’s Court, the related work of Haikou Intellectual Property Tribunal has entered the stage of operation.
 
（四）建立知识产权专家库，助力提升知识产权审判质效和专业化水平
iv. Setting up an IP expert database to help improve the quality, efficiency and professionalism of IP trials  
为进一步凝聚知识产权保护合力，助推知识产权战略实施，解决知识产权审判中的专业和专门问题，提升知识产权审判质效和专业化水平，海南高院积极筹备建立全省知识产权专家库，起草了《关于建立海南法院知识产权审判咨询专家库的工作衔接意见（试行）》。省市场监督管理局、海口海关、省农业厅、省工信厅等单位已向海南高院推荐知识产权审判咨询专家候选人名单。2018年4月3日，在海南高院的主持下，各成员单位召开了知识产权审判咨询专家评选会，对各单位推荐的专家候选人进行评选，确定了入选知识产权专家库的专家名单。该文件已经由海南高院、海南省市场监督管理局、 海口海关、省农业农村厅、省工信厅、省版权局联签完毕。这一举措将有效解决知识产权纠纷中的技术性和专业性问题，助力提升知识产权审判质效。
To further pool the synergy for IP protection, facilitate the implementation of the IP strategy, address professional and special problems in IP trials and enhance the quality, efficiency and professionalism of IP trials, Hainan High People’s Court has taken the initiative to prepare to set up the provincial IP expert database and drafted the “Opinions on Setting up an Expert Database for IP Consultancy and Trial of Hainan Courts (For trial)”. A list of candidates was recommended to Hainan High People’s Court by Hainan Provincial Administration for Market Regulation, Haikou Customs, Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Hainan Province and Department of Industry and Information Technology of Hainan Province. On April 3, 2018, Hainan High People’s Court convened a review meeting with other member institutions on the recommended candidates and decided on the shortlisted experts for the IP expert database. The shortlist was jointly approved by Hainan High People’s Court, Hainan Provincial Administration for Market Regulation, Haikou Customs, Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs of Hainan Province and Department of Industry and Information Technology of Hainan Province and Hainan Provincial Copyright Administration. This measure will effectively help address the technical and professional problems in IP disputes and help improve the quality and efficiency of IP trials.


（五）加大司法宣传力度，营造良好社会氛围
v. Intensifying publicity for a positive social environment
海南高院除在每年4·26世界知识产权日召开知识产权新闻发布会，公发布海南知识产权司法保护状况和十大典型案例外，还通过形式多样的宣传活动，及时报道知识产权司法保护情况和打击侵权假冒案例，增强群众食药安全的防范和保护意识，营造知法守法的良好社会氛围和环境。
On every “26 April” World Intellectual Property Day, Hainan High People’s Court hosts a press conference to release the overall situation and ten typical cases relating to IP judicial protection in Hainan Province. Besides, it also organizes rich outreach programs to enhance public awareness of food and drug safety and create a positive social environment with the public better knowing and abiding the laws by releasing latest results of IP judicial protection and cases of cracking down on infringements and counterfeits.
 
一是精心挑选典型案例开观摩庭，营造司法保护氛围。2018年4月13日，海南高院就76宗音集协诉三亚各卡拉OK营业厅侵害作品放映权案进行公开开庭审理，海南高院分管民商事审判工作的副院长***亲自担任审判长，与6名专业法官共同组成七人合议庭。省文体厅组织40余名行政执法人员、KTV经营者到庭旁听。庭审中，***审判长就案件所涉事实和法律问题以及知识产权司法保护的极端重要性分别进行释法析理，各方当事人均表示认同。省电视台、海南日报、法制时报等媒体进行了拍摄和采访，并制作知识产权保护特别节目，取得了良好社会效果和法律效果。通过本次系列案的公开开庭合并审理，不但统一了海南法院对该类案件的裁判尺度，而且显著提高了知识产权案件的侵权赔偿标准，增加了违法侵权成本，彰显了我省加大知识产权司法保护力度的决心，促使公众进一步认识了知识产权保护的重要性。
Firstly, meticulously selecting typical cases and opening the court proceedings to the public to create a better environment of judicial protection. On April 13, 2018, Hainan High People’s Court opened the court proceedings of 76 cases of CAVCA vs Karaoke Clubs in Sanya for copyright infringement. Vice President of Hainan High People’s Court in charge of civil and commercial adjudication acted as the presiding judge and formed a seven-member collegiate bench to give public trial of the series cases. Over 40 administrative law enforcement officials of Hainan Provincial Department of Tourism, Culture, Radio, Publication and Sports and KTV operators attended the trial. During the trial, the Presiding Judge explained and analyzed the facts and legal disputes related to the case, as well as the extreme importance of IP judicial protection, which was endorsed by all parties involved. Media organizations such as Hainan TV, Hainan Daily and Legal Times filmed the trial, made interviews and produced special programs on IP protection, achieving good social and legal impact among the public. The open and amalgamated trial of these series of cases have not only unified the adjudication criteria of this type of cases, but also increased the compensation and penalty standard for IP infringements. In general, it demonstrates Hainan’s determination and public awareness to continue to enhance IP judicial protection.
 
二是开展群众喜闻乐见的多种宣传方式、不断加大宣传力度。海南高院除通过《说法》《庭审直播》《海南法治之声》等电视广播平台，《法制时报》等纸质媒介，以及天涯法律网、微博、公众号等新媒体手段，大力宣传和报道海南法院打击知识产权的相关工作外，还与省知识产权协会、海南日报社等新闻媒体共同推出“知识产权司法保护宣传月——法官谈知产”专栏，由承办法官撰写经办的典型案例介绍，加大民众对知识产权司法保护的了解，社会效果明显。
Secondly, organizing various popular outreach programs to intensify publicity. Hainan High People’s Court publicized and reported Hainan courts’ efforts to protect IP through both traditional and new media, including TV and radio programs and newspaper such as Legal Report, Court Trial Broadcasting, Hainan Voice of Law and Legal Times, as well as new media like Tianya Legal Network, Sina Weibo and WeChat official accounts. Besides, Hainan High People’s Court also worked with Hainan Provincial Intellectual Property Association and Hainan Daily to open a special column of “IP Judicial Protection Outreach Month: Dialogue with Judges on Intellectual Property”, in which judges wrote introductions on classical cases they had adjudicated. These programs have been very effective in enhancing the public awareness on the IP judicial protection.
 
三是开展“送法进企业”活动，加大对企业知识产权保护的宣传。海南高院与省科技厅共同在京华城广场开展知识产权维权、法律咨询及送法进企业等活动。2019年3月28日，海南高院民三庭法官就“自贸区（港）建设中知识产权司法保护与风险防控”对我省科技型企业进行了专题培训，帮助科技型企业了解当下知识产权司法保护的具体举措及典型案例，提高企业知识产权侵权预警和风险防控能力。
Thirdly, launching the “Enterprise Legal Education” campaign. Hainan High People’s Court worked with Department of Science and Technology of Hainan Province to provide legal service of IP protection, consultancy and education to enterprises at Jinghuacheng Square in Haikou. On March 28, 2019, judges of Hainan High People’s Court held a special training on “Judicial Protection and Risk Control of IP in Free Trade Zone (Port) Development” among scientific and technological enterprises in Hainan. Through introduction on concrete measures and typical cases of IP judicial protection, participating enterprises have enhanced their capacity of early detection and risk control of IP infringements.
 
四是到商品集散中心开展宣传活动，让知识产权保护深入人心。省二中院联合海南省人民检察院第二分院、儋州市工商行政管理局在儋州市夏日广场通过案例宣传、现场解答、发传单等形式开展知识产权宣传；三亚中院联合全市各相关单位在本市明珠广场举办“4·26世界知识产权宣传日”主题宣传活动，向过往民众讲解知识产权知识，积极回应民众提出的关于知识产权案件的咨询，并发放知识产权宣传材料。
Fourthly, conducting publicity campaigns in commodity distribution centers to reach the general public. The Second Intermediate People's Court of Hainan Province worked with the Second Branch of People's Procuratorate of Hainan Province and Hainan Provincial Bureau of Administration for Commerce and Industries to popularize IP protection knowledge by introducing typical cases, answering questions and handing out leaflets at Summer Plaza in Danzhou City. Sanya Intermediate People’s Court cooperated with relevant government departments of Sanya City to host the thematic event of the “26 April” World Intellectual Property Day to introduce IP knowledge, provide consultancy on related cases and provide education materials to the public.
 
五是面对系列案频发的情况，有针对性的开展精准宣传活动，强化知识产权教育力度。2018年度我省知识产权受理案件的一大特色为系列案较多，如中粮集团有限公司诉海口美兰南丰贸易分店等烟酒行业商标权57宗案件中，被告多为烟酒行、杂货铺等小微个体户；叶佳修、音集协、北京鸟人艺术推广有限责任公司诉一多好声音KTV会所等KTV行业著作权纠纷162件案件中，被告多为各大KTV会所。为此，我省各知识产权审判庭针对被告集中的特点，就案件所涉的问题进行普法宣传，提高民众知识产权司法保护的意识。
Fifthly, carrying out well-designed outreach programs targeting at frequently occurred series cases to enhance IP education. One of the features of IP cases accepted by Hainan courts in 2018 is the frequent occurrence of series lawsuit cases. For example, in the 57 cases of trademark right infringement disputes brought by COFCO Corporation, most of the defendants are small or micro self-employed businesses. In the 162 cases of copyright disputes brought by Ye Jiaxiu, CAVCA and Beijing New Run Entertainment Co., Ltd., most defendants are KTV clubs such as the Voice (Haoshengyin) KTV Club. With in mind the frequent occurrence of IP infringements among particular groups of people, Hainan IP courts carried out legal education on issues concerned to enhance public awareness of IP protection.
 
六是认真落实公开开庭、裁判文书上网等“阳光司法”措施。对于所有知识产权案件依法公开开庭审理，严格按照《最高人民法院关于人民法院在互联网公布裁判文书的规定》要求，知识产权生效裁判文书上网率达100%。这些举措进一步促进了司法公开、阳光司法，树立了审判工作的良好形象。
Sixthly, earnestly implementing measures of “Sunshine Law Enforcement” of open court hearings and online access of written judgments. According to the “Provisions of the Supreme People’s Court on the Issuance of Judgments on the Internet by the People’s Courts”, all IP cases are heard publicly and valid judgments are 100% available online. All these measures have created a good image of hearings by promoting open and transparent judicial process.
 
七是积极发挥知识产权典型案例的示范作用。海南高院审理的（2017）琼行终1180号海南省物价局与海南裕泰科技饲料有限公司物价行政处罚纠纷案被评为反垄断法实施十周年“十大反垄断司法案件”，该案裁判文书获得年度全省法院优秀裁判文书二等奖。海南高院审理的（2018）琼民终552号海南春光食品有限公司与海南南国食品实业有限公司侵犯著作权与不正当竞争纠纷一案被评为2018全省十大典型案例。
Seventhly, fully leveraging the demonstration effects of typical IP cases. The case of Hainan Yutai Feeds LTD. & Hainan Price Bureau (dispute over administrative punishment) adjudicated by Hainan High People’s Court in 2017 was listed as one of the 10 major anti monopoly cases since the ten years’ implementation of Anti Monopoly Law of China, and the written judgments of this case won the second prize of Excellent Judgments of Hainan courts. The case of Hainan Chunguang Foodstuff Co., Ltd & Hainan Nanguo Foodstuff Industry Co., Ltd. (copyright infringement and unfair competition) adjudicated by Hainan High People’s Court was chosen as one of the 10 typical cases of Hainan Province in 2018.


（六）狠抓队伍素质建设，提高知产审判质效
vi. Earnestly strengthening character-building for judges to improve IP adjudication
一是为适应我省自贸区（港）建设的新要求，海南高院狠抓队伍建设，着重素能培养，制定《海南法院队伍素能建设五年规划》，举办海南法院自贸区愿景讲座、全省民事、刑事和行政审判实务培训班、法律英语培训班等，全面提升我省知识产权审判人员的司法能力和水平。海南高院民三庭举办首期青年法官讲坛活动，邀请北京知识产权法院副院长陈锦川以《审理著作权案件的几个问题》为题授课，全省法院分管知识产权审判的院领导、知识产权庭长、知识产权法官及部分青年法官助理、书记员参加讲坛。
Firstly, in line with the new requirement of Hainan Free Trade Zone (Port) development, Hainan High People’s Court made great efforts to strengthen character-building for judges. By focusing on capacity-building, it formulated the “Five-Year Plan on Character-Building of Judges of Hainan Courts”. By hosting lectures on free trade zone related topics, training courses on civil, criminal and administrative adjudication and legal English, Hainan courts have comprehensively enhanced the judicial capabilities of IP judges of the whole province. The Third Civil Division of Hainan High People’s Court hosted the first Lecture Series for Young Judges and invited Mr. Chen Jinchuan, Vice President of Beijing Intellectual Property Court to speak on “Several Questions of Adjudication of Copyright cases”. Attending the Forum are leaders in charge of IP trial, heads of IP Division and judges, as well as some young judge assistants and clerks.
 
二是海南高院积极派送我省知识产权庭法官参加最高人民法院主办的民事、刑事、行政各类业务相关培训以及自贸区（港）建设相关法治论坛，培养国际化、专业化的人才，增强知识产权庭法官审理知识产权“三合一”案件的业务能力，提升海南法院服务自贸区（港）建设的司法水平。海南高院组织全省民事审判培训班，切实加强实务培训，提升知识产权法官的司法能力。在2018年召开的第四次全国知识产权审判工作会议上，海口中院民三庭获评“全国知识产权审判工作先进集体”，海南高院民三庭王好法官获评“全国知识产权审判工作先进个人”。
Secondly, Hainan High People’s Court dispatched judges of IP Division to attend training on civil, criminal, administrative and other fields hosted by the Supreme People’s Court, as well as legal forums on free trade zone (port) development. By cultivating professional talents with an international vision and strengthening judges’ capability of “three-in-one” adjudication of intellectual property cases, Hainan courts hope to improve their judicial capability to contribute to Hainan Free Trade Zone (Port) development. Hainan High People’s Court has also hosted provincial-wide trainings to improve IP judges’ adjudication, such as civil adjudication training course. In the fourth National Adjudication Work Meeting of Intellectual Property, the Third Civil Division of Haikou Intermediate People’s Court was awarded the national prize of “Group with Outstanding Performance of IP Adjudication” and Judge Wang Hao from the Third Civil Division of Hainan High People’s Court was awarded the national prize of “Individual with Outstanding Performance of IP Adjudication”.


（七）积极配合“双打工作”，建立健全长效机制
vii. Actively contributing to the “Double Fights” campaign to establish and improve the long-term mechanism
海南高院积极配合“双打工作”，完善平台建设，形成定期报告工作机制。充分利用双打联动平台，完善行政执法与刑事司法的有效衔接，每月积极向省“双打”领导小组报送工作信息和统计报表。健全信息共享、案件上报的“双打”工作协调机制，完善各项工作制度。有效利用“两法衔接”信息共享平台工作机制，推进平台间对接互联，完善案件咨询、统计通报、跟踪督促等工作制度，实现“双打”案件的有效报送和反馈。
In actively contributing to the “Double Fights (fight against IP infringements and counterfeits)” campaign, Hainan High People’s Court has improved its platform building and formed a working mechanism of regular reporting. By making full use of the coordination platform of “Double Fights”, it effectively connects administrative and criminal justice law enforcement, and make reports work progress and statistical forms to Hainan Provincial Leading Group of Fight Against IP Infringements and Counterfeits at a monthly base. With an improved working mechanism of information sharing and case reporting, the working mechanism of the “Double Fights” has been optimized. By effectively using the working mechanism of information sharing of administrative and criminal justice law enforcement, it realizes in-time reporting and feedback of “Double Fights” cases by enhancing the interconnectivity among platforms and working mechanism of case consultancy, statistics reporting, follow-up and supervision.

Developing Hainan Free Trade Zone (Port) is an important national strategy personally planned, arranged, promoted and pronounced by Chinese President Xi Jinping. At present, people of Hainan Province are united to advance the related work and explore institutional innovation of Free Trade Zone (Port) development.
