China's Supreme People's Court (SPC) has released a judicial explanation on its website on handling cases concerning reputed trademark infringement.

The judicial explanation took effect on May 1.

The SPC's intellectual property court said the explanation summarizes relevant experience and was to improve the courts' judicial protection system of well-known trademarks, enhances the authority and credibility of judicial protection and safeguards the market order featuring fair competition.

The explanation makes clear basic requirements for reputed trademarks as well as protection and recognition, among other items. It standardizes judicial measures in handling civil cases concerning trademark infringement and provides legal backup for judicial protection over well-established trademarks.
