First, the intermediate court has jurisdiction over three special cases:

1, patent and customs cases, that is, cases related to the confirmation of inventions and patents and customs handling. Because patents and customs are specially set up, general administrative organs are generally set up all over the country, and patents and customs organs are only set up where business needs. In addition, the patent and customs have some professional technical requirements, which need to improve the trial level.

2, the provincial administrative organs for the defendant's administrative litigation. The defendant has a high administrative level (provincial, the State Council ministries and commissions, directly affiliated institutions), so it is difficult for the grass-roots courts to exercise their jurisdiction objectively, and the trial level needs to be improved.

3 major and complex cases, that is, cases with significant impact and complicated cases.

1, prescription refers to the time when the law takes effect and the time when it ends;
