To thoroughly implement the national strategy of building a cyber power and a digital China, facilitate the digital transformation of Shanghai city, deeply integrate law and technology, and provide services and safeguards for the development of the digital economy and new quality productive forces, on the morning of September 29, the Shanghai Jiading District People's Court (hereinafter referred to as the Jiading District People's Court) held a press conference to release the sixth batch of typical cases from Shanghai Court Digital Economy Judicial Research and Practice (Jiading) Base.

Zhang Guodong, a member of the Party Leadership Group and Vice President of the Jiading District People's Court, reported on the operational status of the base in 2025, released ten typical cases involving the digital economy, and answered questions from reporters. Deputies to the Shanghai Municipal People's Congress and some news media were invited to attend the press conference. The press conference was presided over by Yang Yingfei, a member of the Party Leadership Group, the Director of the Political Department, and the spokesperson of the Jiading District People's Court.

Since its inception, Shanghai Court Digital Economy Judicial Research and Practice (Jiading) Base has consistently adhered to the development philosophy of "Rooted in real cases, upholding integrity and fostering innovation, prioritizing people, and embracing the boundless potential of digital intelligence." It has pioneered the establishment of a four-category case classification research system, forged a "theory + industry + judiciary" think tank consortium, improved the mechanism for consultation and mutual recognition of adjudication rules, extended the incubation of the new-quality strategy of "joint demonstration and publication of rule guidelines and typical cases in the digital economy." These efforts have propelled the coordinated development of academic research, judicial practice, and the market rule ecosystem within the digital economy, gradually fostering a demonstration effect of the innovative brand "Jiading Digital Wisdom & Innovation" and showcasing the positive outcomes of judicial safeguarding for the growth of the digital economy.

The sixth batch of typical cases released this time mainly consist of effective cases from the courts in the past three years, covering cases recommended by strategic cooperation units of the base such as the courts in Kunshan and Taicang, Jiangsu Province. These cases have undergone special discussions by nearly a hundred experts at the "Digital Intelligence Liucheng Cup" Essay Award Ceremony and the "Digital Economy and Digital Rule of Law" Exchange Meeting of the Digital Economy Base. They cover various fields such as criminal, civil, commercial, and intellectual property cases, and are sorted according to the four major case classification research systems. They focus on cutting-edge issues such as "data rights and interests of intelligent assisted driving vehicles" and "the shutdown and merger of online game servers," delineating behavioral boundaries and stabilizing development expectations for digital economy entities, providing referable adjudication guidelines for the trial of similar cases, and demonstrating the vivid practice and pioneering exploration in judicial safeguarding for the development of the digital economy.

Since its establishment, Shanghai Court Digital Economy Judicial Research and Practice (Jiading) Base has always focused on serving the high-quality development of the digital economy, constructing a virtuous cycle of "research guiding practice and practice feeding back into governance," based on case classification research, with the incubation of typical cases as a focal point and professional talent cultivation as support. The typical cases released this time are both cutting-edge and representative. Whether it is judicial protection of newly emerging property rights and interests involving data forms or assistance in the standardized governance of the online gaming and internet logistics industries, they precisely meet the practical needs of the development of the digital industry, achieving a deep integration of judicial judgments and data governance, providing solid judicial guarantees for the development of the digital economy and new-quality productive forces, and further promoting the uniform application of law in the Yangtze River Delta region.

My first impression of the typical cases released this time is: novelty. The cases involve cutting-edge fields such as data from intelligent driving assistance system vehicles and payment codes for virtual products. By exploring and establishing new rules, they define the boundaries of corporate innovation and the norms of platform autonomy, creating a stable, fair, and predictable legal environment for the digital economy. Issues such as the shutdown and merger of online game servers, passengers' fare evasion in ride-hailing cruising taxis, and mobile phone numbers and verification codes intercepted by "pseudo base stations" occur in everyone's daily life scenarios. The typical cases transform abstract legal provisions into vivid judgments, effectively resolving the "new troubles" encountered by people in the digital age, and giving the public a greater sense of gain, happiness, and security.
