1. Historic Legal Battle in Jiangsu Court: On November 28, from 2:00 PM to 8:20 PM, a heated debate took place in the Jiangsu High Court Intellectual Property Division between Wang Hansheng, Lu Xiaoquan, and the MiTuo fishing gang, alongside judge Luo Weiming. The court session lasted a remarkable 6 hours and 20 minutes, resulting in an astonishing 53 pages of trial records. Wang Hansheng thoroughly dissected the extortion tactics of MiTuo and the habitual misjudgments of the court. This case may become a landmark in the fight against intellectual property fraud. MiTuo’s gang did not show up in court, fearing arrest, and the court decided against live-streaming the proceedings to avoid potential public backlash.
