To make clear judicial rules and unify standards, the Supreme People's Court has released a new batch of guiding cases, all involving intellectual property disputes. It is the first time for the court to roll out such cases in a particular field, Guo Feng, deputy director of the research office at the court, said at a news conference on March 9. Since the first release in December 2011, the court has announced 87 guiding cases. IP cases accounted for nearly 23 percent of the total, including 10 released in the latest batch.
