A decade-long infringement dispute
The infringement dispute between this company in Shanghai and Apple has been going on for ten years. This dispute about the small I robot was caused by the Shanghai company using the small I robot on the mobile phone, because the intelligent voice about the small I robot was independently developed by the Shanghai company and had applied for a patent right before. After investigation, Apple infringed its patent right by unauthorized use, so it sued Apple in court, demanding that Apple compensate and stop selling infringing products.
In the first lawsuit, the Shanghai company won the case, but Apple refused to accept it and filed a lawsuit with the Beijing High Court, suing the Shanghai company for patent invalidation. In this lawsuit, Apple won and the court ruled that the patent was invalid. The Shanghai company refused to re-sue, and the Beijing court ruled that Apple lost the case, so this compensation amount was obtained.
The protection of patent right deserves attention.
The protection of patent rights really needs attention, which is a kind of protection for the achievements of original or independent developers, so that their hard work will not be occupied and profited by others for no reason. Without the protection of patent rights, everyone will wait for other people's research results, and no one is willing to work hard to develop them, because they will eventually be used by others. Working hard for others is better than waiting for others to achieve something.
Therefore, the protection of patent rights is conducive to the development of independent research, and it is a kind of protection and incentive for developers and creators. As for whether the battlefield between Shanghai company and Apple can finally compensate 65.438+0 billion, let us wait and see.
