First case nationwide! Ticket scalping "plug-in" software found guilty of unfair competition.

Recently, in a typical case of intellectual property rights released by the Supreme People's Court, one case of "unfair competition in ticket-scalping software" has attracted attention. The plaintiff in the case is a well-known entertainment ticket agent, involving ticket sales from concerts to sports events, from dramas to family exhibitions, covering almost all areas of live entertainment. The defendant, Zheng Mouzhong, sold "cheating" software for the plaintiff's app on a certain second-hand shopping platform. The ticket-scalping software he developed simulates manual operations through technical means, which can speed up the filling of order information and repeatedly submit it in a short period of time, increasing the probability of successfully scalping tickets on the plaintiff's platform.
