The Supreme People’s Court Rejected the Retrial Application against Sinopec
30 Mar 2020
Source: China Judicial Rulings and Judgments Website
Recently, the Supreme People's Court rejected the retrial application of Yunnan Yingding Bio-energy Co., Ltd. (Yingding) in its antitrust dispute with Sinopec Distribution Yunnan Petroleum Co., Ltd. (Sinopec Yunnan) regarding refusal to deal.
Yingding had demanded that the biodiesel products be included in Sinopec Yunnan's fuel distribution system and an economic compensation of 3 million RMB. The retrial application aimed at the first-instance judgment of Kunming Intermediate People's Court in October 2016. In the judgment, the court considered it inappropriate to require Sinopec Yunnan to purchase the biodiesel produced by Yingding in the form of mandatory order without the explicit clarification from the State Council's energy authority or the provincial government on a series of issues such as the selling entity, quantity and pricing of the distribution of biodiesel produced from gutter oil.

Sharp v. OPPO：SEP Antitrust Litigation War Across China, Japan and Germany

Source: Sohu News
It is reported that Sharp sued OPPO Japan in the Tokyo court for patent infringement of WLAN patent(s) related to smart phone communication technology. As early as January 2020, Sharp had filed a patent infringement lawsuit against OPPO Japan in the Tokyo District Court, and asked the court to prohibit OPPO from selling five infringing models of mobile phones in the Japan market.
In response to Sharp's lawsuit, OPPO filed two lawsuits against Sharp in China and Japan at the end of this February:
The first was to sue Sharp in Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court in China for violating the "fair, reasonable and non-discriminatory" (FRAND) obligation in the licensing negotiation of standard essential patents (SEPs);
The second is to sue Sharp in the Tokyo court for infringement of flash charging technology related patents, requiring the court to issue an injunction.
On March 6, Sharp filed a lawsuit against OPPO’s Guangdong subsidiary and the Mannheim District Court in Germany, asking for compensation for Sharp ’s losses due to patent infringement. On the same day, Sharp also filed a patent infringement lawsuit in the Tokyo District Court.

消息称，夏普（Sharp）以智能手机通讯技术相关的WLAN专利侵权为由，向日本东京法院起诉OPPO日本公司。早在今年1月，夏普就已经向东京地方法院提起了针对OPPO日本公司的专利侵权诉讼，并要求法院禁止OPPO在日本市场出售5款涉侵权手机。
针对夏普的起诉，OPPO在今年2月底，对夏普提起了两起诉讼作为反击：
其一是向深圳市中级人民法院起诉夏普违反标准必要专利（SEP）许可谈判中的“公平、合理、无歧视”（FRAND）义务；
其二是向日本东京法院起诉夏普侵权闪充技术相关专利，要求法院发布禁令。
3月6日，夏普在德国慕尼黑市法院和曼海姆地区法院向广东OPPO移动通信有限公司提起诉讼，要求其就侵犯专利权给夏普造成的损失予以赔偿。同一天，夏普也在东京地区法院提起了专利侵权诉讼。
Guiyang Intermediate People's Court: Where There is No Evidence to Prove Monopoly Behavior, Monopoly Dispute Jurisdiction Rules Should Not be Applied
9 Mar 2020
Source: China Judgment Documents Website
In the contract dispute concerning a Cooperation Agreement between Beijing Gemdale Parking Service Co., Ltd. (Gemdale) and Guiyang Urban Construction Investment (Group) Co., Ltd. (Urban Construction), Urban Construction claimed that the Cooperation Agreement contains monopoly clause and is invalid, and the court of first instance does not have the jurisdiction on monopoly civil disputes. In the appeal proceedings, the appellate court held that the signing of the Cooperation Agreement does not have anti-competitive effect in the relevant market, therefore the clause in dispute is not a monopoly clause prohibited by the Anti-Monopoly Law. There is no evidence to support that Gemdale's behavior constitutes a monopoly, so the case is not a monopoly civil dispute. The appellate court thereby revoked the ruling and instructed the court of first instance to continue the trial.

SPC: Using Franchise Status to Impose Heavy Liability for Breach of Contract Not Allowed Absent Legal Basis
5 Mar 2020
Source: China Judgment Document Website
In December 2015, consumers complained that Haikou Veolia Water Co., Ltd. (Veolia) charged 5 ‰ daily penalty for fee arrears. In this regard, the Hainan Provincial AMR imposed administrative penalty on Veolia after investigation. The Supreme People's Court (SPC) ruled that Veolia used the monopoly position of the government franchise, and in this case where the arrears penalty has been abolished under the law, to unilaterally request arrears, by way of standard term, in-store notice, etc., the relevant clause is an invalid clause. The SPC further held that the Hainan Provincial AMR made the infringement decision on fair and reasonable basis, and that the rulings of the first instance and the appeal were not inappropriate. Therefore, the SPC rejected the retrial application of Veolia.
最高法院案例：在没有法律依据的情况下，不得利用特许经营的垄断地位增设违约责任条款

2015年12月份，消费者投诉称海口威立雅水务有限公司(以下简称威立雅公司)对逾期未缴纳水费的用户，从逾期之日起每日加收未缴纳水费5‰的违约金。对此，海南省市场监督管理局立案调查，并作出行政处罚。最高院认为，威立雅公司利用政府特许经营的垄断地位，在相关滞纳金法律条款已经被废止的情况下，仍以格式条款、店堂告示、通知等方式，单方在格式条款中约定按每日5‰的标准向逾期缴费的用户收取违约金。该约定属于无效条款。海南省工商局作出处罚决定公平、合理。一、二审判决驳回威立雅公司的诉讼请求，并无不当。最高人民法院驳回再审申请。

Guizhou High People’s Court Upheld the Judgment in Driving Schools and Industry Association Cartel
3 Mar 2020
Source: China Judgment Document Website
The driving schools and industry association in Qiandongnan Prefecture coordinated pricing and determined that participating driving training schools can only raise driving training fees on the basis of the “agreed minimum cost standard price”, and the industry association issued an announcement as such to the society.
The appellate court, Guizhou High People’s Court, determined that the behavior substantially excluded and restricted market competition in the local driving training industry and deprived consumers of their independent choices. It further found that the behaviour constituted horizontal monopoly agreement prohibited by Article 13 of the Anti-Monopoly Law, and therefore the Provincial Development and Reform Commission’s fine of RMB 50,000 on driving schools was within the statutory scope, and it was not inappropriate. Therefore, the appellate court upheld the original judgment.
