Han Han and other prominent Chinese authors have launched proceedings against two wholly owned subsidaries of Baidu. Inc, the Baidu Online Network Technology (Beijing) Co. Ltd. (百度在线网络技术(北京)有限公司) and Baidu.com Times Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (百度时代网络技术(北京)有限公司). The case requests that the two companies immediately remove items that infringe on the plaintiffs intellectual property rights from Baidu Wenku (百度文库), close down Baidu Wenku, post a public apology to the authors on the home page of Baidu.com for 7 days and compensate for economic losses.
The Haidian People's Court in Beijing has already accepted 16 related cases.
