  • Tab: A copyright infringement dispute

Case description:

The plaintiff is a well-known game company in Beijing. The game company discovered that the defendant, without the plaintiff's authorization, operated a game with the same software copyright as the plaintiff's software copyright on its website, which infringed the plaintiff's rights to copy and distribute information on the internet. In December 2019, the plaintiff commissioned lawyers Sun Binyan and Zhang Mengyu of our firm to file a rights protection lawsuit, demanding the defendant to pay RMB 800,000 yuan for economic losses and reasonable expenses for their unfair competition.

In the process of preparing the case, our lawyers actively collected and sorted out the evidence and compared the specific infringements involved in the two games involved in the case. During the trial, the defendant intended to settle, and our lawyers assisted the parties in communicating and mediating. Finally, under the auspices of the Shijingshan District People's Court in Beijing, the parties reached a mediation in June 2020, and the defendant stopped the infringement and compensated our client for economic losses of RMB 800,000 yuan. Our lawyers helped the client achieve the most possible rights protection results at minimal cost.
