在经济全球化日益加深,相关国家贸易和投资保护主义有所抬头的背景下,中国法院一如既往加大对于国外权利人知识产权的保护,法院审理的涉外知识产权案件有明显的上升趋势。

最高人民法院数据显示,2013年1至5月,全国法院系统共审结知识产权民事一审案件24544件,比上年同期增长36.6%,其中涉外案件大约2%, 或504件。去年全国法院系统审结知识产权民事一审案件共计83850件,其中1.7%为涉外案件。

"国际竞争日趋激烈,全球金融危机的影响日益显现,经济全球化日益加深与一些国家贸易保护主义有所抬头并存,知识产权领域的全球深化和摩擦多发存在,"最高人民法院知识产权审判庭庭长孔祥俊说。

据孔祥俊介绍,法院审理的大多数有关涉外知识产权案件既包括商标,专利和著作权领域的民事侵权案件,也包括专利,商标领域的授权确权类知识产权行政案件。

他说,相关的知识产权涉外案件主要涉及美国,英国,法国,德国等主要欧盟国家,日本和其他一些国家。

英文译文：

The first five months of the year has seen an increase in intellectual property lawsuits involving overseas companies in China's top court, amid economic globalization and rising domestic awareness.

From January to May, judges nationwide announced verdicts in 24,544 intellectual property rights cases, up by 36.6 percent year-on-year, according to the Supreme People's Court. About 2 percent of those cases, or 504 lawsuits, involved overseas litigants.

Last year, 1.7 percent of 83,850 such lawsuits nationwide were foreign-related, according to the top court.
"With fiercer global competition, as well as a tendency for trade protectionism in certain countries, we have seen a remarkable increase in cross-border IPR conflicts," said Kong Xiangjun, president of the top court's intellectual property tribunal.

Most of the IPR lawsuits that involve overseas companies are related to infringement of trademarks, patents or copyrights, Kong said.

The foreign parties involved are mainly from the United States, and major European countries such as Britain, France and Germany, and also Japan, he said.
