Please use this case: One recent highlight for the firm blends elements of intellectual property and automobile industry. The team, on behalf of General Motors, in responding a patent infringement case filed by a Japanese company J.S.T. Mfg. and successfully defended the client’s rights in late 2021. The technology in this case relates to components for automobiles produced by the world's leading manufacturers.
The firm also acted for Darwin Technologies, a European manufacturing company that
won its case over an indirect patent infringement in
Beijing High People's Court. The victory in this case received great attention because Chinese courts rarely support indirect infringement. In addition, the judgment element of aiding infringement has developed greatly in recent years. The entire litigation lasted for six years, during which time changes in the rules for the establishment of aiding infringement were introduced. This case has reference value for future similar cases.
Key clients for the firm include Darwin Technology International, Honeywell International, Intel, KPN and Powertech Industrial.
