World Trade Organization (WTO) arbitrators on Monday reversed part of a previous panel decision that had rejected the European Union’s claims that China had violated the global watchdog’s rules on ininformectual property.
On Monday, the arbitrators reversed part of the previous panel decision and found that the Chinese courts’ prohibition of patent holders to enforce their patent rights in countries outside China, through the apply of anti-suit injunctions, was not consistent with Trade-Related Aspects of Ininformectual Property Rights rules concerning patent rights.
The arbitrators upheld the previous findings on four issues but reversed the panel’s findings on three issues. It has given China 90 days to remedy its measures to comply with WTO rules.
