It caused heavy losses and hurt economic interests and it also severely disrupted the order of the socialist market economy. The circumstances of the crime were particularly serious and the effect on society was extremely harmful.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Shanghai Intermediate People\u2019s Court held that the 9 defendants manufactured infringing toys for commercial purposes without the permission of the copyright holder.\u00a0 There was a huge amount of illegal business and is particularly serious constituting the crime of copyright infringement.\u00a0 At the same time, according to the different roles of the defendants in the joint crime, the court determined that the defendant Li was the principal offender, and was punished in accordance with all the crimes he participated in, organized, and directed; the remaining eight defendants were accomplices and were given lighter punishments.<\/p>\n<p>On appeal, the Shanghai Higher People’s Court ruled that according to the relevant laws and regulations of the Copyright,<span>\u00a0\u201cart works refer to paintings, calligraphy, sculptures and other artistically significant flat or three-dimensional plastic art works composed of lines, colors or other methods.\u201d\u00a0In this case, a total of 663 assembled three-dimensional models were infringed. The expressions carried by these three-dimensional models were independently created by Lego. They have originality and unique aesthetic significance. Therefore, the assembled three-dimensional toys are protected by China’s copyright law.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As for the calculation of the amount of illegal business operations, the<span> Shanghai Higher People’s Court believes that the original judgment, combined with the “Accounting Appraisal Opinion” and related evidence, found that the illegal business amount of Li and others in the amount of more than 330 million RMB was correct and should be confirmed. Although Li and his defenders argued that the original judgment did not consider sales returns and customer rebates, which affected the determination of the amount of illegal business operations, there was no evidence to prove it, so the court rejected it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>As for the issue of sentencing, the<span> Shanghai Higher People\u2019s Court believes that according to the Criminal Law and relevant judicial interpretations, the actions of Li and others constitute copyright infringement, and qualify as “particularly serious circumstances\u201d and should be sentenced to three years to seven years imprisonment and fine. The amount of the fine is generally not less than one time and not more than five times the illegal income, or 50% to 100% of the illegal business revenue. Considering that this case not only caused significant losses to the right holder\u2019s goodwill and economic interests, but also disrupted the order of the market economy, with serious social harm, the crime should be severely punished in accordance with the law.
