SPC concludes that at the stage of jurisdictional objection, in principle it is only necessary to hear the facts related to the establishment of the jurisdiction of the case.

In addition to industrial intellectual property rights in the traditional sense of patents, trademarks, copyrights, etc., there is also a unique intellectual property right in the field of agricultural forestry, which is the new plant variety right (also known as Plant Breeder"s Rights (PBR) or Plant Variety Rights (PVR)).

In the Sino-US trade dispute, China’s counterattack against the United States on tariffs is mainly concentrated in the agricultural sector. Therefore, we would like to take this opportunity to introduce the protection of new plant varieties in China. This paper aims to briefly sort out the development of new plant variety protection in China, the latest registration and protection, the latest development trends including the jurisdiction development of filing civil infringements case against new plant variety infringers, summary of registration requirements and procedure, and proposed amendments to the law which may guide us to the direction of future protection of new plant variety.

租赁作为一种常见的经营模式，本身并无任何不当，但如果租赁者具备市场支配地位，且其销售的产品为耐用品，那么租赁就很有可能成为垄断企业获取垄断利润，排除限制竞争的手段，在此情况下这种常见的经营模式是否需要予以限制，需要好好探讨一下。

等同原则是专利侵权判定的最重要的原则之一，而专利侵权判定中的其他重要原则，例如全面覆盖原则、禁止反悔原则、捐献原则等也往往需要参考等同原则进行认定。因此，等同原则也可认为是专利侵权判定中的核心原则。等同原则的雏形概念出现于英国，而后美国对其进行了发展。我国专利法已经颁布了三十余年，对于等同原则也有了符合国情的理解和认知。
