In the recent years，the cases for intellectual property rights（IPR）disputes have significantly increased in China. However，due to the lack of professional expertise in the trials of IPR cases，the jurisdiction of such cases had been chaotic at times. Chinese courts have been actively exploring the trial model reforms，combining the civil，administrative，and criminal IPR cases in a“Three-Trials-in-One”model. The CPC Central Committee’s Decision on Major Issues Concerning Comprehensively Deepening Reforms has formally put“exploring the establishment of intellectual property courts”as part of the important agenda for deepening reforms. The establishment of intellectual property courts has substantial significance for the enhancement of the professionalism and efficiency in the trials of IPR cases. In the process of the reforms，the well-established models abroad for“specialized intellectual property courts”，“intellectual property courts of appeal”，and“trade practices tribunals”should be fully considered. However，in choosing the proper paths，practical circumstances such as the status of the protection of IPRs in China，the mechanisms of court trials，and China’s current legal regime，must also be taken into consideration.
