Previous authors have stated that the “number of cases dealt at SAIC remain stable for many years which indicates that the infringement situation of the whole country does not change.” [1] But the total number of cases dealt by SAIC is consist of both counterfeit and infringement, and the underlying reason why the total numbers remain unchanged is primarily because counterfeit is decreasing and infringement is increasing. The results of this analysis will show that through the years, counterfeit and infringement cases are changing in different trends, and it further lead us to reflect that these two categories should be analyzed separately.
