Following the coronavirus outbreak, various localities have introduced protective measures to restrict gathering of large numbers of people by suspending business and delaying returning to work. What should you do if a case comes up that must be handled? How to deal with lawsuits? To deal with such concerns, Beijing IP Court opened the "Cloud Court", and litigation cases are now heard online. All Kangxin members are online, and IP rights lawsuits are handled normally!

Court Creates New Model of "Contactless" IP Trial

    On February 21, the official WeChat account of the Beijing Intellectual Property Court released the Cloud Court system user manual. To begin a trial, all you need is a computer, a mobile phone, and a network connection.

    Cloud Court can be used on PC, a WeChat mini-program, and mobile (the application is currently only available on Android devices). After the judge successfully creates the trial "courtroom", he will send a text message notification to the participants, prompting the participants to download the designated client. You may also visit the Beijing Court Trial Information Network (http://www.bjcourt.gov.cn), download the client in the Beijing Court Online Litigation Platform-Online Trial Module, and follow the instructions on the page to install.

    In the process of proof and cross-examination, the parties can upload and make comments on the evidence.
