01 Case Information
Trade secrets underpin the core competitiveness of a semiconductor enterprise, and high-quality protection thereof shall be provided by the enterprise independently through its internal management mechanisms. How to establish such a sound management and protection mechanism is an issue worthy of in-depth deliberation and eventual implementation by all enterprises.
In August 2023, the final judgment was pronounced in the case where Dongfeng Motor Co., Ltd. filed a lawsuit against "Niuche Laboratory", a Douyin account operated by Beijing Cheqianli Interactive Technology Co., Ltd., for insult and defamation targeting the "New X-Trail" vehicle model. The court finally ruled that Beijing Cheqianli shall compensate Dongfeng Nissan RMB 5 million for economic losses and relevant expenses incurred in safeguarding legitimate rights. As the online tort liability dispute case brought by an automobile manufacturer against a self-media entity with the highest compensation amount in recent years, this case is of great typical significance.
