On September 9, 2018, the Internet Court was established and unveiled in Beijing, which has the centralized jurisdiction over some specific types of Internet cases that should otherwise be accepted by the people's courts at the grass-roots level within the entire jurisdiction of Beijing, mainly including: disputes over Internet shopping and service contracts; disputes over Internet financial loans, small loan contracts, Internet copyright ownership and infringement disputes; disputes over Internet domain names; disputes of Internet infringement liabilities; disputes over liability for products purchased online; cases concerning Internet public interest litigation filed by procuratorial organs; administrative disputes arising from administration of the Internet; and other Internet civil and administrative cases designated by the people's court at a higher level for jurisdiction. The cases of appeal or protest against judgments or rulings made by the Beijing Internet Court are to be heard respectively by the Beijing Intellectual Property Court and the Beijing Fourth Intermediate People's Court, a court of cross-administrative regions.

Adjudicatively, the Beijing Internet Court implements the principle of "online trial of online cases". Interested parties can, without the need to go to the court, secure online handling of the entire, or part of, the litigation procedure from institution of lawsuits, mediation, case acceptance, documents service, trial and pronouncement of judgment to enforcement. Cases that are not suitable for online trial upon court review are still be heard conventionally offline, but other litigation procedures should be finalized online. In addition, the Beijing Internet Court provides such intelligent services as litigation risk assessment, automatic generation of bills of indictment, and online browsing of documented files, bringing efficient and convenient litigation experience to interested parties.
