Recently, Tongzhou Court of Nantong City, Jiangsu Province formulates the immediate processing measures in trying home textile IP-related cases, because of the fragile evidences of IPR infringements in Nantong Home Textile City and short cycles of market profits of textile patterns.

For the question of evidence preservation, the court clearly requires launching investigation within one hour after the party involved submits applications and taking immediate coercive measures if the applications approved to be true. Meanwhile, the service is available all day round, including festivals and holidays, ensuring the prompt and effective judicial protection for the rights and interests of IPR holders.

Starting November 1, 2007, Tongzhou Municipal People¡¯s Court gains the jurisdiction of trying part of IPR-related cases. Nantong Home Textile City within its jurisdiction is the largest textile market nationwide with more than 2,000 operators. Mighty and effective judicial protection will surely create sound IPR environment.
