Core Viewpoint - The Beijing Haidian District People's Court ruled that Ocean Company engaged in unfair competition by extensively scraping and transferring data from Era Company, ordering Ocean Company to eliminate the impact and compensate Era Company with 2 million yuan in economic losses and 300,000 yuan in reasonable expenses [1][3]. Group 1: Case Background - Era Company operates a leading internet medical platform, accumulating significant data related to diagnosis and treatment over years of operation [1]. - Ocean Company operates a competing platform and is accused of scraping patient reviews and medical articles from Era Company's platform [1][2]. Group 2: Legal Arguments - Era Company claims that Ocean Company's actions violate business ethics and harm its competitive advantage, resulting in severe economic losses [1][2]. - Ocean Company argues that its platform operates in a different segment of the internet medical field, asserting that there is no competitive relationship and that the data belongs to users [2]. Group 3: Court's Findings - The court found that both companies operate in the same internet medical field, targeting overlapping user groups and services, thus establishing a competitive relationship [2]. - The court ruled that Era Company has legitimate rights to the user-generated content it collects and organizes, which is protected under anti-unfair competition laws [2][3]. Group 4: Outcome - The court determined that Ocean Company's actions constituted unfair competition, as it gained competitive advantages without investment or costs, violating principles of good faith and disrupting market order [3]. - After the ruling, Ocean Company appealed, but the second-instance court upheld the original judgment, which is now effective [4].
