Introduction

You Minjian is the founding partner of Shanghai Co-effort Law Firm and leader of the Co-effort IP department. His practice focuses on the fields of copyright, trademarks, patents, IT law, internet legal issues, corporate finance, and IP financing transactions. He is particularly good at handling legal issues in the cultural industry and internet innovation areas. He has participated in the legislation and revisions of many laws including the Copyright Law, Computer Software Protection Regulations, and the Patent Law.

You’s professional capacity can be judged by his many “firsts”, including the first antitrust dispute case in China – Shusheng v Snda Network; the sole winning case of Anti Rogue-software Alliance China – infringement of Henbang Secretary software; the first online game case in China – a copyright infringement litigation between Shenzhou Aomei and CGA; the first software end-user case in China – Discreet Logic Inc v Shanghai Duidian Cultural Communication Co Ltd; the first software criminal and infringement case regarding the Windows systems – Tomato Garden case; the first criminal case of trade secret infringement in China; the first IP case in the shipbuilding industry of China; the first case of Shanghai Intellectual Property Court; and the first IP case regarding internet big data.

Many of his cases have been widely cited. In 2013, he represented a trademark administrative dispute case regarding the generic name “Jin Jun Mei” and a trade secret case, and both of these cases were listed as the Top 10 Intellectual Property Cases of the Supreme People’s Court that year. In 2016, he successfully represented ACTOZ to win an injunction against Wemade Entertainment, which was one of 2016 China’s Most Valuable Intellectual Property Judgments.

In 2017, You won the unfair competition case against Baidu, which was selected as one of the 2014-2016 China’s 10 Most Influential Internet IP Cases. The second instance of this case was selected as one of the TOP 10 IP Cases of the Chinese Bar Association. In 2019, he represented the defendant to win the “Flying Tigers” flight jacket copyright infringement case, which attracted great public attention.
