Dongfang v. Jinling (cont.)<br />
The Judicial Interpretations will likely clarify<br />
the law with respect to DOE<br />

Looking Forward<br />
Transparency<br />
– Courts in relatively developed areas, e.g., Beijing,<br />
Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang, publish decisions on<br />
the website<br />
Political pressure (good or bad?)<br />
– Pfizer’s Viagra patent litigation in China ended with an<br />
encouraging success for foreign patent holders<br />
To watch:<br />
– Eli Lilly & Co.’s v. Gan & Lee Pharmaceuticals (China)<br />
– Patents related to Humalog were invalidated, now on<br />
appeal<br />
