A recent patent infringement case that our firm represented is such an example. The party involved is an important supplier considered as a pillar of our nation's economy. To stand firm in the fierce market, suppliers must demonstrate unparalleled competitive strength. Unfortunately, in such competition, some companies may resort to unfair practices to gain a commercial advantage, including making patent infringement claims. An unexpected attack. The competitor claims to have legitimate patent rights and demands our client to stop providing the alleged infringing products or services to their customers. Furthermore, they are seeking high damages compensation. Faced with such an assault, we had no choice but to seek help from our team of lawyers.

 

In the lawsuit, despite the plaintiff having a legitimate patent right reviewed by the Intellectual Property Office, this does not mean their patent is invulnerable. The validity of a patent right is based on the novelty and progressive nature of the patent itself. If the court finds after examination that the patent lacks these elements, it may declare the patent invalid, leading to the plaintiff's lawsuit defeat. At the same time, if the defendant's product or service did not infringe upon the patent right, the plaintiff needs to provide more concrete claims and evidence to prove how the defendant infringed on the plaintiff's patent rights.

 

Our team of lawyers, with their extensive litigation experience and through in-depth internal debate and strategic planning, successfully convinced the court that the plaintiff's claims were unsubstantiated, leading to a complete victory for our client. This outcome not only demonstrates our legal expertise and strategic planning prowess but also provides strong protection for the client's legitimate business operations.

 

In the protection and disputes of intellectual property rights, legitimate patent rights are often a powerful tool in business competition. However, the fair judgment of the court always relies on the substantial validity of the patent and does not favor blindly because of patent registration. Professional legal knowledge and meticulous strategic planning are indispensable in facing patent infringement litigation. By reasonably utilizing legal means to defend corporate rights, the law returns to its original purpose: not only to maintain the results of innovation but also to ensure the order of fair competition. It also reminds readers that if you encounter similar cases and difficulties, it is advisable to seek the help of a professional lawyer.
