Beijing provides web classes

Beijing court judges are providing online classes covering intellectual property rights to help members of the public better understand legal issues.

The classes, provided through cooperation between the Beijing No 1 Intermediate People's Court and China University of Political Science and Law, mainly target IPR disputes on micro-blogging platforms.

"I was asked last year whether micro blogs face IPR problems," said Jiang Ying, a judge in the capital. "I thought it necessary to explain that to more netizens, because that could avoid related disputes."
