Many courts treat judgments to cease infringement involving repeated or continuous obligations of forbearance as instantaneous or one-off injunctions, which force the infringed party to file a new lawsuit each time when the infringement recurs. Article 519 of the Interpretation of the Civil Procedure Law implicitly reflects approval of this approach, which is consistent with the civil law theory of“ongoing infringement”. However, the concept of an instantaneous injunction is highly paradoxical: the binding scope of a final injunction would be narrower than that of a pre-action injunction, making it easy for the defendant to circumvent its binding force and even preventing the court from issuing such a judgment altogether. Hence, from the perspective of legal interpretation, such judgments should be regarded as permanent or long-term injunctions, especially given that current law has already expanded the scope of the concept of ceasing infringement. The understanding of judgments to ceas infringement should incorporate a procedural law perspective, recognizing that out-of-court requests to cease infringement differ significantly from formal litigation claims for the same. Legislation should explicitly stipulate the legal consequences for each violation of an injunction. When courts issue permanent injunctions, the recognized right to demand forbearance is ex nunc and continuous in nature, and its enforceability should be intepreted accordingly. Therefore, any repeated acts of infringement occurring after the reference time point legally belong to the original facts of the previous claim/lawsuit, and parties should not be permitted to initiate new lawsuits on that basis |
