Intellectual Property Office of Taiwan (TIPO), China launched the trial of the Accelerated Examination Program for Reexamination (AEPRe) on September 1, 2024. Over the course of its one-year trial, the program has been widely recognized by applicants and the intellectual property practitioner community for its fee-free, streamlined procedures and clear eligibility criteria. Based on this, TIPO has announced the continuation of the program's trial.

The technology "gravity compensation type mobile contact line" (patent No.: ZL202020583993.0) independently developed by Lanzhou Xinwei Vehicle Equipment Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "Xinwei") and its supporting patent "force transmission mechanism, cantilever positioning device and mobile contact line" (patent No.: ZL202023195929.4)  were illegally copied by Lanzhou Yinli Electrical Equipment Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yinli") in the projects of dedicated lines of three major railways in Xinjiang. Facing multiple challenges, including unfavorable patent evaluation reports and invalidation actions filed by the Defendant, Unitalen Law Office employed an integrated "technology + law + strategy" approach that successfully turned the tide, securing a crucial victory for Xinwei.

Core Disputes and Breakthroughs

Initially, the Evaluation Reports of Patent for Utility Model issued by the CNIPA stated that the patents involved "lacked inventiveness", directly threatening the validity of the patents. After accepting the entrustment, Unitalen's attorney team promptly initiated a reconsideration procedure and successfully persuaded the CNIPA to correct the evaluation reports, thereby ultimately affirming the inventiveness of the involved patents and removing the fundamental obstacles to subsequent patent enforcement.

During the trial of the infringement litigation, Yinli, the Defendant, filed an invalidation request with the Reexamination and Invalidation Department of the CNIPA. Unitalen's attorney team anticipated this risk and proactively made crucial amendments to the patent claims, maintaining the patents' validity while expanding their scope of protection. Both invalidation decisions upheld the patents' validity under the amended claims.

Although the invalidation decision was still pending, given that the scope of protection of claims had changed, Lanzhou Intermediate Court determined that the accused infringing products fell within the scope of protection of the amended claims of patent ZL202020583993.0 and constituted infringement.

Lanzhou Intermediate Court also found that the accused infringing products fell within the scope of protection of patent ZL202023195929.4 and constituted infringement. In the second instance, Yinli filed a request for invalidation, but the invalidation decision upheld the patent's validity, providing strong support for the patentee to proceed with the infringement litigation.

Meanwhile, to prevent the Defendant from transferring assets and evading compensation, Unitalen's attorney team applied to the Lanzhou Intermediate Court for property preservation during the litigation, successfully freezing several of the Defendant's bank accounts and maximizing protection of the client's legitimate rights.

Apart from civil litigation, Xinwei also filed an administrative request for investigating and prosecuting patent infringement with the Lanzhou Intellectual Property Office. Unitalen's attorney team assisted the administrative authority in determining that the mobile contact line product manufactured by Yinli fell entirely within the scope of protection of patent No. ZL202023195929.4, and that Yinli's acts of manufacture and sales constituted patent infringement. Finally, the Lanzhou Intellectual Property Office ordered Yinli to cease infringement immediately.  This established a powerful deterrent through dual-track protection combining judicial and administrative measures.

Case Highlights

The court ascertained that the Defendant's acts of making, selling, and offering to sell constituted patent infringement and ordered an immediate cessation of infringement. The court also supported the Plaintiff's claim for RMB 2.04 million in economic compensation and awarded over RMB 160,000 for reasonable enforcement expenses. This case serves as a typical example of "successful dual track enforcement through judicial and administrative measures" in the field of railway electrification equipment, highlighting the comprehensive advantages of intellectual property protection for enterprises.

Industry Insights

This case provides a model for technology companies in patent enforcement. In terms of patent portfolio strategy, core patents should establish a "moat of claims" and leave room for amendments. In risk management, when facing unfavorable evaluation reports, companies should take proactive steps, such as reconsideration and invalidation procedures, to reverse unfavorable outcomes. In terms of litigation strategy, administrative investigation and prosecution, and civil litigation should be conducted in parallel to maximize enforcement efficiency and deterrence. Pre-emptive property preservation combined with precise technical feature comparisons forms a comprehensive litigation system that "integrates offensive and defensive strategies".

Case Brief

The Plaintiff Shu X (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shu X"), having lawfully obtained authorization, collected a Mandarin Chinese speech dataset totaling 1,505 hours involved in the case and registered it with a Data Intellectual Property Registration Certificate. Shu X claimed that the Defendant Yin X (Shanghai) Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Yin X") publicly released a 200-hour subset of Shu X's dataset (hereinafter referred to as the "involved dataset") without permission, constituting unfair competition.

The court of first instance ruled that the dataset involved in the case constituted a trade secret, and Yin X's disclosure and use of it infringed Shu X's trade secret, ordering compensation of RMB 102,300. Yin X appealed against the judgment.

The court of second instance held that the Data Intellectual Property Registration Certificate serves as preliminary evidence of Shu X's lawful ownership and legitimate acquisition of the dataset. Although the involved dataset failed to meet the criteria for a trade secret due to its disclosure and also failed to meet the criteria for a compilation, it comprised commercially valuable data entries formed through significant investment in technology, capital, and labor by Shu X, and its legitimate interests are protected by the Anti-Unfair Competition Law. Data users must comply with the terms of open-source licenses when using open-source data. Yin X failed to comply with the relevant license, thereby violating commercial ethics, harming Shu X's interests and competitive market order, and violating Article 2 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law. Accordingly, the court of second instance adjusted the finding on trade secrets but upheld the ruling of the court of first instance.

Typical Significance

This case is the first to affirm the preliminary evidentiary effect of Data Intellectual Property Registration Certificates on rights ownership and acquisition legitimacy and to actively address theoretical and practical concerns by reasonably and accurately defining the rights and obligations of all participants in the data ecosystem. The final judgment aligns with national policy objectives to promote data circulation and utilization while maintaining fair competition in the data services sector.

Case Brief

State Administration for Market Regulation (the Defendant, hereinafter referred to as SAMR) successively received the market concentration declaration materials submitted by both Tuo X Xi Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (the Plaintiff, hereinafter referred to as Tuo X Xi) and Xian X Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (the Third Party, hereinafter referred to as Xian X) regarding Xian X's acquisition of equity in Tuo X Xi. After reviewing and evaluating the materials, SAMR concluded that the involved concentration did not meet the declaration threshold but might have the effect of excluding or restricting competition in the Chinese market for batroxobin injection. Xian X proposed commitments to impose restrictive conditions on the concentration. Considering that these commitments could effectively mitigate adverse effects on competition and meet the criteria for conditional approval under China's  Anti-Monopoly Law and other relevant regulations, SAMR approved the concentration under additional restrictive conditions. Tuo X Xi disagreed and filed for administrative reconsideration, but SAMR upheld its original decision in the reconsideration decision. Tuo X Xi disagreed with the reconsideration decision and filed a lawsuit.

The court of first instance concluded that the present case concerned a "voluntary declaration" in which the declaration threshold was not met, allowing the regulatory authority to conduct a substantive review of concentration activities that "might have the effect of excluding or restricting competition". The review decision imposed legal obligations on the post-concentration declarant Tuo X Xi, and thus Tuo X Xi had the standing to file an administrative lawsuit. The objective of the concentration review and enforcement of undertakings primarily lies in addressing competition issues arising from the concentration, rather than pre-existing competition issues. The competitive landscape in the market for batroxobin injection existed before the concentration and was not the focus of the review in this case. The State Council's anti-monopoly regulatory authority does not automatically prohibit concentrations that cause or might cause exclusionary or restrictive effects. After assessment, the proposed commitments were effective, feasible, and timely, and could effectively mitigate the negative impact of concentration on competition. The sued decision and the reconsideration decision were lawful.  Based on this, the court dismissed Tuo X Xi's claims. No appeals were filed after the first-instance judgment, and the judgment has entered into force.

Typical Significance

As the first administrative lawsuit in China against an administrative reconsideration decision on the declaration of concentrations between undertakings, the present case provides explicit clarification on issues, including whether the anti-monopoly administrative behavior involved is subject to litigation, the scope of review of concentrations between undertakings, and the evaluation criteria for additional restrictive conditions. It also provides clear guidance for both the declaring parties of concentrations and the anti-monopoly regulatory authority, and serves as a firm reference for the adjudication of similar cases.
