Lu and Lin are post-1995 Chinese graduate students who are keen on mobile games. Unlike ordinary players, they made game simulators based on the battle report generated in the game "Shuaitu Zhibin" and their programming knowledge. "Shuaitu Simulator" provides players with a platform to practice repeatedly, improve their skills, and crack the gameplay. Lu and Lin have applied for independent copyright for the game simulator. Hangzhou Netease Leihuo Technology Co., Ltd., the research and development and operation company of the game, believed that the game simulator infringed their copyright and constituted unfair competition, and sued Lu, Lin, and an Hangzhou technology company to the Court.

A few days ago, the Hangzhou Intermediate People's Court of Zhejiang Province rejected the appeals of Netease Leihuo and a technology company in its second instance, and upheld the first-instance judgment of the Hangzhou Internet Court: a technology company infringed Netease Leihuo's text and artworks and to compensate 1.5 million yuan. The behaviors of "Shuaitu Simulator" simulated the "Shuaitu Zhibin" battle system did not constitute unfair competition.
