The Judicial Yuan’s electronic litigation and online indictment platform has begun taking complaints about intellectual property infringements.
The platform was established in 2015 and, over the years, adjustments have been made to the system and services provided, the Judicial Yuan said.
As civil and administrative suits involving intellectual property are allowed in court, adjustments were made so that the system could begin accepting such complaints from Wednesday last week, the Judicial Yuan said.
The service was made available due to changes in the legal industry, but also in hopes of reducing interactions during the COVID-19 pandemic, it said.
Regarding civil and administration suits involving intellectual property, the system receives requests to upload only legal documents involving provisional attachments, the preservation of evidence, provisional injunctions, provisional injunctions maintaining a temporary “status quo” and the enforcement of a suspension of action, Judicial Yuan member Chang Kuo-hsun (張國勳) said.
In the event that the plaintiff in an intellectual property case agrees to an administrative lawsuit, the Intellectual Property and Commercial Court can also upload the litigation documents and the official copy of the ruling to the platform, the Judicial Yuan said.
Once the upload has been completed and the files are in the system archives, it is considered legally binding and any rulings on the document would be effective immediately, it said.
The Judicial Yuan urged the public to utilize the platform and its services, especially during the pandemic.
Digitization is also environmentally friendly and in line with government policies aiming to reach carbon neutrality by 2050, as it removes the necessity to use paper and stamps, it added.
The brilliant blue waters, thick foliage and bucolic atmosphere on this seemingly idyllic archipelago deep in the Pacific Ocean belie the key role it now plays in a titanic geopolitical struggle. Palau is again on the front line as China, and the US and its allies prepare their forces in an intensifying contest for control over the Asia-Pacific region. The democratic nation of just 17,000 people hosts US-controlled airstrips and soon-to-be-completed radar installations that the US military describes as “critical” to monitoring vast swathes of water and airspace. It is also a key piece of the second island chain, a string of
A magnitude 5.9 earthquake that struck about 33km off the coast of Hualien City was the "main shock" in a series of quakes in the area, with aftershocks expected over the next three days, the Central Weather Administration (CWA) said yesterday. Prior to the magnitude 5.9 quake shaking most of Taiwan at 6:53pm yesterday, six other earthquakes stronger than a magnitude of 4, starting with a magnitude 5.5 quake at 6:09pm, occurred in the area. CWA Seismological Center Director Wu Chien-fu (吳健富) confirmed that the quakes were all part of the same series and that the magnitude 5.5 temblor was

The Central Weather Administration has issued a heat alert for southeastern Taiwan, warning of temperatures as high as 36°C today, while alerting some coastal areas of strong winds later in the day.
