Perspective | Can fees for equipment usage be charged in clinical diagnosis and treatment?
When conducting certain clinical examinations, medical institutions need to use specialized instruments and equipment. If such equipment has a corresponding fee item in the catalog of charges for medical services, can the medical institution independently charge a fee for the use of the equipment? Different medical institutions hold varying views on this issue, and in practice, it is not uncommon for institutions to be penalized by the administrative authorities responsible for medical insurance funds for charging such equipment-use fees. Drawing on my long-term experience in handling cases, I will attempt to analyze whether such fees can indeed be charged.

Recently, the author has frequently received inquiries about copyright infringement cases and has repeatedly acted as counsel in such cases. In most of these cases, the outcomes have been highly satisfactory for the clients involved. In these cases, the key issues at trial invariably revolve around which specific copyright rights the defendant’s actions have infringed upon, whether the defendant’s conduct indeed constitutes an infringement of the plaintiff’s copyright, and what kind of liability the defendant should bear if an infringement is established. Among the seventeen rights protected by copyright, cases involving the right of reproduction often give rise to inconsistencies in the application of legal standards and confusion with the right of communication through information networks. In light of this, the author has reviewed relevant regulations and similar cases, drawing on personal practical experience to prepare the following research report, which is intended solely for reference purposes. I. The Legal Nature and Protective Boundaries of the Right of Reproduction

Recently, the author encountered a patent infringement case involving the timing of litigation. Specifically, a certain entity filed both a utility model patent application and an invention patent application for the same invention at the same time when applying for a patent. Currently, the utility model patent has been granted and a certificate has been issued, while the invention patent application is still undergoing substantive examination. The entity has discovered that a third party is infringing upon its patented product and now faces the question of how to assert its rights. As far as we understand, when a utility model patent has already been granted but the invention patent application has not yet been granted, the right holder can file a lawsuit based on the utility model patent right. However, if the invention patent is granted during the course of the litigation, according to legal provisions, the utility model patent right will consequently be terminated (it’s important to note that “termination” differs from “invalidation”: invalidation renders the patent null and void from the very beginning, whereas termination means the patent becomes ineffective from the date of termination itself). This would result in the loss of the legal basis for the ongoing litigation. So, under these circumstances, how should the right holder properly assert its rights? Is it necessary to wait until the invention patent is granted before filing a lawsuit?
