Pang Donglai's lawsuit against online "blackmouth" infringement case was selected as a typical case by the Supreme Court. On February 4th, the Supreme People's Court released 7 reference cases related to regulating special actions in enterprise law enforcement and judicial work. One of the cases showed that Chai continuously posted videos on multiple platforms involving Pang Donglai's profit model, product quality, corporate reputation, and personal reputation of the company's legal representative Yu, and took the opportunity to attract fans and promote products. The court ruled that the defendant committed infringement and required an apology and compensation. The Supreme Court emphasized that people's courts safeguard various ownership economies to participate in market competition fairly according to law, and lawfully punish illegal criminal activities such as extortion, defamation, maliciously damaging commercial reputation, and product reputation targeting enterprises and entrepreneurs.
