To fully leverage the exemplary effect of typical cases, promote the theoretical research on internet justice, and deepen the practice of internet justice, Southwest University of Political Science and Law (SWUPL) has joined forces with the three major internet courts in China. They invited experts from both the practical and theoretical fields of cyber law to form an expert selection committee. From the 30 representative cases recommended by the three internet courts (2023-2024), they ultimately selected the top ten typical cases with exemplary value, which were officially released recently.
Among them, the game virtual property trading platform case handled by Llinks lawyers [First Instance Case No.: Guangzhou Internet Court (2020) Yue 0192 Min Chu 46315; Second Instance Case No.: Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court (2022) Yue 73 Min Zhong 3597] was selected as Case No. 3. Previously, this case was included in the People's Court Case Library with the accession number 2024-09-2-488-006.
This case involves cutting-edge legal issues related to game virtual property, an emerging form of internet business. After accepting the commission, Llinks lawyers conducted an in-depth analysis of the case facts, gathered and organized key evidence, and carried out rigorous and detailed legal analysis and argumentation. After two trial procedures, they ultimately secured a favorable judgment and a substantial compensation of 3 million yuan for their client, effectively safeguarding the client's legitimate rights and interests. Moreover, this case also has typical exemplary significance for internet-related judicial practice. It is the first to clearly define the legal attributes of different types of virtual property and clarify the boundaries of the behavior of game trading platforms in providing game trading services, which is conducive to promoting the healthy and orderly development of the digital market.
