The Taiwan Intellectual Property Court, due to begining operation in March, 2007, is in the planning stage of selecting and training judges. This article presents an overview of its current status and an introduction to the different court structures and concepts from a survey conducted in June, 2005, by the International Bar Association’s Intellectual Property and Entertainment Law Committee on “International Survey of Specialized IP Courts.” Issues and problems on the existing Taiwan’s dual litigation system and the lack of technical and professional backgrounds of its judges are examined through a comparative and analytical review of the advantages and disadvantages of professional courts. A review of the IP Court establishment process and suggestions that the author has contributed along the way, as well as how each goal set forth by the IP Court is being carried out are also reviewed. This article concludes with suggestions on complimentary measures for the sound functioning of the IP Court system.
