GMAC's right to protect it's GMAT exam from copyright infringement has been upheld by the Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court.
The case arose as GMAC seeks to stop Beijing Passion Consultancy Ltd. (BPC) from using copyrighted GMAT material on its website, as well as charging a fee for it as part of its teaching course, among other
infringements.
GMAC discovered the activity of BPC using it's patent-pending "ItemFind" software, along with other Internet-based technologies.
The Presiding Judge Yi Jun, supervised a mediation and settlement, ordering BPC to "cease all infringement activities immediately", and other related punishments including a large fine, paid to GMAC. GMAC's copyright of GMAT test questions and related publications has hereby been strongly upheld. It sends a clear message to anyone involved in such activities, including cheating, which can result in cancellation of GMAT scores.
The Chinese government has identified Internet-based copyright infringement as an area of focus for its Action Plan on IPR protection.
