Tianyancha app shows that recently, the second instance legal documents of unfair competition disputes between Hunan Nan’ao Network Technology Co., Ltd. and Beijing iqiyi Technology Co., Ltd. were made public.

According to the document, iqiyi company, the plaintiff of the first instance, claimed that the South Australia company charged users for the rental service of iqiyi member account in multiple rental number platforms it operated, and obtained high benefits from it. The defendant Nan’ao company claimed that the iqiyi account involved in the case was uploaded by users, and its main business was game account leasing. The proportion of video account leasing was small, which would not have an impact on iqiyi’s operation.

The court of first instance held that the sued platform was mainly engaged in “rent number”, and the South Australia company directly obtained economic benefits from account number leasing, which constituted unfair competition. Finally, the South Australia company was sentenced to compensate iqiyi company for a total of 1.03 million yuan.

South Australia company filed an appeal. The court of second instance held that it was not improper for the court of first instance to determine that the accused act was illegitimate; South Australia company has damaged the legitimate rights and interests of iqiyi company and constituted unfair competition; The amount of compensation decided by the court of first instance is reasonable. Therefore, the court of second instance rejected the appeal of South Australia company and upheld the original judgment.
