RTRS-EU Seeks WTO Escalation Over Patents, Lithuania Disputes

CHINA-EU

Reuters reporting that the EU is seeking to escalate two disputes with China at the World Trade Organisation related to patents and trade with Lithuania.

  • EU has 'requested the formation of adjudicating panels' to deal with '...alleged Chinese restrictions on EU companies' rights to use a foreign court to protect their high-tech patents and on trade with EU member Lithuania.'
  • Requesting consultations with China is the first step in a WTO challenge, processes that can take up to 18 months.
  • China-Lithuania relations have been in the deep freeze for some time following the establishment of a Taiwan Representative Office in Vilnius in 2021, which saw China downgrade diplomatic ties with Lithuania, and according to the EU, pressure multinational firms not to deal with Lithuania and impose arbitrary restrictions on trade.
  • Chinese Ministry of Commerce in reply: China has always managed foreign trade in a manner consistent with WTO rules, continued to strengthen the protection of intellectual property rights, and strived to create a favorable environment for innovation and business operations. China regrets the EU's decision. China will properly handle the relevant request raised by the EU in accordance with the WTO dispute settlement procedures, and resolutely safeguard its legitimate rights and interests.
