Do you have to bear the other party's lawyer's fee if you lose the lawsuit?

Generally, you don't need to bear the other party's lawyer's fee when you lose the case. However, in intellectual property cases such as trademark rights and copyrights, as well as cases expressly agreed in the contract, if the parties have obvious misconduct and caused direct losses to the parties or the third party, the people's court may support the innocent party's legitimate request for compensation for reasonable legal fees according to the specific circumstances.

What is the process of legal proceedings?

The court trial process can be roughly divided into five stages: court session, court investigation, court debate, defendant's final statement, appraisal and court trial. When trying a civil case, the people's court shall notify the parties and other participants in the proceedings three days before the hearing. If the hearing is held in public, the names of the parties, the cause of action, the time and place of the hearing shall be announced. If both the first trial and the second trial fail, you can file a final appeal with the Supreme People's Court. According to the provisions of the Criminal Procedure Law, the parties, their legal representatives and close relatives may appeal to the people's court or the people's procuratorate against the legally effective judgment or ruling, but they cannot stop the execution of the judgment or ruling.

To sum up, it is generally borne by yourself. If the other party loses the case in the following cases, you can ask the other party to bear the lawyer's fee.

Legal basis:

Article 26 of the Interpretation of the Supreme People's Court on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Copyright Civil Disputes.

The reasonable expenses paid to stop the infringement as stipulated in the first paragraph of Article 49 of the Copyright Law include the reasonable expenses for the obligee or entrusted agent to investigate and collect evidence on the infringement.

The people's court may, according to the litigant's claims and specific cases, calculate the lawyer's fees that meet the requirements of the relevant state departments within the scope of compensation.
