Recently, a dispute over infringement of trade secrets, represented by senior partners Shen Aishan and Xiao Fangyong from Gaopeng Law Firm, won the second instance of the Supreme People's Court.


The client of Gao Peng is a high-tech biopharmaceutical manufacturer. Due to the former executives of the company setting up a company that utilizes the technical information and process procedures involved in my client's case to produce and sell similar products, my client's market has been impacted and significant economic losses have occurred.


After accepting the commission, my lawyer actively communicated with the parties and the first instance lawyer, thoroughly analyzed all the materials in the first instance of this case, and determined the litigation plan and ideas for the second instance. In the two court hearings of the Supreme People's Court, the key facts of this case were proved by applying for witnesses to appear in court, and detailed comparative materials, cross examination opinions, and agency opinions were submitted after the trial regarding the confidential information involved in the case. The Supreme People's Court ultimately accepted the agency opinion of my lawyer and determined that the technical information of my client constituted a trade secret. The other party committed an act of infringing on the trade secret of my client, rejected the other party's appeal, and ruled that the other party should pay a total of more than 2.5 million yuan in compensation to my client. More importantly, the above effective judgments on the identification of trade secrets and infringement provide important factual and theoretical basis for the subsequent rights protection of my client.
