In recent years, case law has particularly clarified that works of applied art qualify for copyright protection, but the enforcement of such claims was long deemed risky in practice due to the uncertainty regarding the interpretation of the protection requirements. Guiding Case No. 157 of the Supreme People’s Court of the People’s Republic of China demonstrates a newfound consistency in the application of copyright protection standards to works of applied art. Doctrinally, the case law analysis highlights that Chinese courts have merged two distinct copyrightability requirements, originality and aesthetics, settling for that which we call a threshold of ‘original aesthetics’. Practitioners litigating international portfolios should be aware of the potential to successfully enforce copyright claims over works of applied art in China. The doctrinal delineation between originality and aesthetics is of importance not only within the scope of academic research, but also serves trial attorneys when pleading copyright infringement cases. 000049119 542__ $$fhttps://academic.oup.com/grurint/article/72/3/231/6998505 000049119 588__ $$aCrossref 000049119 590__ $$aPublished online: 10-Oct-23 000049119 650_0 $$aIntellectual property. 000049119 650_0 $$aCopyright$$zChina$$xLaw and legislation. 000049119 650_0 $$aCopyright$$xArt$$zChina. 000049119 650_0 $$aCopyright. 000049119 650_0 $$aCopyright infringement. 000049119 650_0 $$aPatents. 000049119 7001_ $$aRentsch, Rudolf A,$$eauthor. 000049119 7001_ $$aZingg, Raphael,$$eauthor. 000049119 7731_ $$tGRUR International$$wGRUR 000049119 830_0 $$aGRUR International,$$x2632-8550 ;$$v72, 12, 2023. 000049119 85641 $$uhttps://doi.org/10.1093/grurint/ikad102$$yonline version 000049119 904__ $$aJournal article 000049119 980__ $$aGRUR
