After accepting the commission, Ma Jian's lawyer team launched a systematic work: through online and offline multi-dimensional channels, completed the collection of evidence for the other party's decades of artistic creation, forming a chain of evidence of more than 1,000 pages; compared the selected hundreds of controversial works frame by frame with the original expression as the benchmark, and produced more than 500 pages of analysis reports; for professional issues such as transnational copyright identification and infringement compensation calculation, organized multiple rounds of legal search, litigation deduction and simulated actual combat, and built a solid litigation attack and defense system.

Trial breakthrough

In order to improve the efficiency of judicial review, the team innovatively used the composite presentation mode of "element visualization + form inventory" to transform the complex artistic feature comparison into a concise and intuitive presentation system. Through multiple pretrial meetings and multiple professional opinions, the opinions were finally recognized by the court and the parties' demands were supported.
