The threshold for committing crimes of intellectual property infringement has been lowered to 300,000, which will be effective from September 14, 2020.

It is reported that on September 13, the "Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court and the Supreme People's Procuratorate on Several Issues Concerning the Specific Application of Laws in Handling Criminal Cases of Intellectual Property Infringement (3)" was released.

The judicial interpretation lowered the criminal standards for infringement of trade secrets, expanded the criminal circumstances, and included the amount of illegal income due to the infringement of trade secrets, the bankruptcy or bankruptcy of the right holder due to the infringement of trade secrets, etc. into the criminal threshold. The amount of the crime was adjusted from "more than 500,000 yuan" to "more than 300,000 yuan".

There are many controversial issues in intellectual property criminal cases, especially cases of trade secret infringement, and relevant judicial interpretations are urgently needed to clarify and regulate them. Criminal judicial protection of intellectual property rights is the most coercive and deterrent way to protect intellectual property rights.
