Beijing Times, 11/14/12
Apple has filed an appeal with Beijing High People's Court regarding a recent ruling ordering Apple to pay Encyclopedia of China Publishing House RMB 520,000 in IPR infringement compensation, arguing that Apple is not technically the operator of the iTunes app store.
Beijing No.2 Intermediate People's Court earlier ruled in favor of Encyclopedia of China Publishing House's IPR infringement lawsuit, ordering Apple to cease its infringing activities and pay RMB 520,000 in compensation.
