Long An Successfully Achieves Reversals in Several Patent Cases at điều kiện rút tiền 8xbetupreme People’s Court
In 2023, several cases represented by the Long An achieved favorable outcome at điều kiện rút tiền 8xbetupreme People’s Court, including several cases whose decisions were successfully reversed in điều kiện rút tiền 8xbetecond instance. Here are three representative cases:
- Dispute over Patent Invalidation between Midea Company and Best Company
The patent involved is the core patent of Midea Company’s dishwasher, which has undergone multiple invalidations and holds significant commercial value. Best Company filed a request for invalidation of the patent involved, seeking to invalidate it entirely. Midea Company filed administrative litigation, but the first-instance court dismissed Midea’s claim. After several hearings in điều kiện rút tiền 8xbetecond instance, điều kiện rút tiền 8xbetupreme People’s Court ultimately determined that the decision ignored distinguishing features, thus revoking the first-instance judgment and the decision.
- Patent Infringement Dispute between Botao Company and Sikerma Company
Sikerma Company filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Botao Company in điều kiện rút tiền 8xbethenzhen Intermediate People’s Court, claiming infringement of its utility model patent for shoe covers. The first-instance court found infringement. According to the client’s instructions, the aim of this case was to overturn the infringement judgment through a non-infringement defense, which was a challenge. Considering the extremely low success rate of overturning judgments in utility model patent infringement appeal cases, we fully analyzed the first-instance judgment, evidence provided by both parties, and the invalidity materials of the patent involved, and believed that the accused product might not fall within the protection scope of the claims of the patent involved. To further confirm this, we requested the client to send a sample of the accused product, and conducted a detailed comparison between the working principle of điều kiện rút tiền 8xbetample and the content of the patent claims. Ultimately, điều kiện rút tiền 8xbetecond-instance court overturned the first-instance judgment, ruling non-infringement.
- Patent Infringement Dispute between Midea Company and SEB Company
SEB Company filed a lawsuit against Midea Company in the Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court for infringement of its cooking machine patent. The first-instance court ruled in favor of the defendant, finding non-infringement, and both parties appealed. Although the first-instance court found no infringement, only one of the three distinguishing features we advocated was accepted. If only the plaintiff had appealed, our defensive space in điều kiện rút tiền 8xbetecond instance would have been greatly reduced. To avoid losing the initiative, we also appealed the two distinguishing features that the court did not accept. Finally, the two distinguishing features that were not accepted in the first instance were accepted by điều kiện rút tiền 8xbetecond-instance court, completely blocking the plaintiff’s route for overturning the case and thoroughly eliminating the client’s infringement risks.
