A judge from the Beijing Internet Court (BIC) gave an online lecture to 90 law majors from five universities in Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions on Dec 30, 2022, as part of a winter camp program.

He Cheng, a judge from the BIC's 1st Comprehensive Division, gave the lecture on the BIC's jurisdiction of cases, online trial process, technology application and the court's typical cases.

According to the Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Certain Issues Concerning the Trial of Cases by Internet Courts, the BIC's case jurisdiction mainly covers 11 specific types of internet cases within Beijing municipality, including internet civil and administrative cases caused by the act of purchasing goods, receiving services, lending, infringing others' intellectual property rights, personal rights and property rights. Among those cases, the three types of cases with the largest proportion are disputes on copyright ownership and infringement, network infringement liability disputes, and information network sales contract disputes, accounting for about 75 percent, 10 percent and 7 percent respectively.

All of those cases have outstanding internet features and are suitable for online trials, with IPR cases accounting for the largest proportion. The cases are also highly technical, with emerging and complicated legal issues.
