ByteDance has been ordered to pay a total of 82 million RMB (approximately $11.3 million) by the Supreme People’s Court of China for copyright infringement and trade secret misappropriation. This ruling follows a previous order for the company to pay 30,000 RMB (around $4,000) in a separate case involving copyright infringement related to the Ultraman franchise. In another development, Tencent has successfully won a video copyright infringement case in a U.S. district court, marking a notable victory for the Chinese tech giant in international copyright disputes.
