Powell’s speech, Nvidia’s chips, Meta deal - what’s moving markets
Investing.com -- World Trade Organization (WTO) arbitrators have reversed part of a previous panel decision that had rejected the European Union’s claims against China regarding intellectual property rules violations.
The arbitrators’ decision on Monday overturned elements of an April ruling that had dismissed the EU’s complaint filed in 2022. The original complaint alleged that China had violated WTO intellectual property rules related to patents for 3G, 4G, and 5G mobile technology.
While the April panel rejected the EU’s main complaint, it did determine that China had failed to comply with all WTO transparency obligations.
The EU subsequently appealed the case through the Multi-Party Appeal Arbitration Arrangement, which serves as a substitute for the WTO’s Appellate Body. The Appellate Body has been inactive since 2019 after the United States repeatedly blocked judge appointments.
