[5] [Shenzhen Lawyers Association] Actively Leveraging the Role of Lawyers to Thrive the E-commerce Industry
On the morning of December 14, 2013, the E-commerce Legal Professional Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Lawyers Association, in collaboration with the Information Network and E-commerce Legal Business Committee of the Shenzhen Lawyers Association, jointly held a seminar titled "Legal Issues Related to the Selection of Civil Causes of Action and Evidence Gathering for Unfair Competition and Copyright Infringement in the Network Environment" at the Shenzhen Lawyers Association's multi-function hall. Lawyer Wang Tengfeng, Vice Supervisor of the Guangdong Provincial Lawyers Association, attended the seminar, which was presided over by Lawyer Wang Jifeng, Director of the E-commerce Legal Professional Committee of the Guangdong Provincial Lawyers Association and Director of the Information Network and E-commerce Legal Business Committee of the Shenzhen Lawyers Association.
The seminar invited Judge Yu Chunhui, Presiding Judge of the Intellectual Property Division of the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court, and Professor Zhu Xiequn, Master's Supervisor at the Shenzhen University Law School, as keynote speakers. Judge Yu, as a seasoned judge, explained the types of cases, causes of action, rules of evidence, and legal considerations from the perspective of a judge's approach to intellectual property cases, particularly the trial requirements for copyright infringement cases in the network environment, combined with the characteristics of new types of cases such as private servers and cheats for online games. Professor Zhu, from the perspective of legal research, provided a brief interpretation of the computer technology and legal regulations related to private servers and cheats for online games, industry trends, especially the latest methods of "intercepting, modifying, and transmitting data between servers and clients" used in private servers and cheats, as well as current advanced practices and legal solutions in Europe and the United States. Attending lawyers engaged in interactive exchanges with the keynote speakers on issues such as the handling of existing private server and cheat cases in Shenzhen, particularly in the Nanshan District Court, including criminal charges and civil causes of action.
This seminar aimed to enhance lawyers' skills, techniques, and accuracy in handling similar intellectual property cases, with the goal of exploring and innovating new areas and methods of legal services, providing better legal services to clients, and leveraging the role of lawyers to promote the healthy and rapid development of the internet and e-commerce industries in our province and city.
