Lian & Lien on Behalf of Famous International Company Wins Patent Invalidation Litigation

Date:2018-06-05  Author: Lian & Lien

Lian & Lien was assigned in the beginning of 2015, on behalf a famous international company which mainly produces and sells fishing equipments, golf gears and other relevant sports products, to file a patent invalidation litigation against a company from Ningbo, China.


We made elaborate preparations on obtaining evidences, drafting petition and setting jurisdiction .The Beijing Intellectual Property Court supported our request and forced Ningbo company to pay millions of penalty and cease producing and selling infringed products.


Ningbo company refused to accept the first-instance judgment and appealed to the Supreme People's Court in Beijing by providing new evidence. Lian & Lien made a thorough analysis and retorted each of the appellant's arguments. A final decision was made by the Supreme People's Court on May 28,2018.


The court dismissed the appeal and confirmed the judge's decision in the first-instance.


Winning this lawsuit is the result of good cooperation between our client and us, which shows Lian & Lien’s professional work abilities and proactive attitude as well.  This kind of decision from court could also make foreign companies more confident of protecting their intellectual property right in China.
