On September 29 2001, the Beijing High People's Court published Several Questions Concerning Patent Infringement Judgments Opinion (Trial Implementation). This Opinion, with 129 articles, has clearly been the result of dedicated work by the court and experts assisting it. While only strictly applicable in Beijing, the Opinion represents the first effort by the courts in China to set down rules for interpreting claims and dealing with other issues that arise in the course of patent infringement disputes.
