The Shanghai Intellectual Property Court released white papers on software copyright cases and patent cases at a judicial seminar last week. The reports show that between 2015 and 2016, the court investigated more than 1,000 patent cases, 657 of which have been concluded, and nearly 600 software copyright cases, 512 of which have been settled. Almost half of the software cases concerned apps used for sectors such as mobile games, medical services, education and makeup.
