双案全胜!集佳代理欧洲某知名机械制造公司专利侵权案获赔200万元
Victory in Two Cases: Unitalen Represents a Renowned European Machinery Manufacturer in Patent Infringement Disputes, with Awarded Compensation of RMB 2 million
近日,由集佳代理的意大利某知名机械制造企业诉国内某工业设备企业侵害发明专利权纠纷两案,迎来全面胜利。江苏省无锡市中级人民法院就两案同日作出一审判决,全额支持原告200万元赔偿请求,并判令被告立即停止侵权。
Recently, Unitalen achieved a comprehensive victory in two dispute cases concerning the infringement of invention patents on behalf of a renowned Italian machinery manufacturer against a Chinese industrial equipment enterprise. On the same day, the Wuxi Intermediate People's Court of Jiangsu Province rendered first-instance judgments for both cases, fully supporting the plaintiff's claim for compensation of RMB 2 million and ordering the defendant to cease the infringement immediately.
案件概述
Case Summary
本案涉及意大利公司系列发明专利,涵盖产品专利与方法专利两大核心权利要求体系。
This case involves a series of invention patents owned by the Italian company, covering two core systems of claims: product patents and process patents.
被诉的大型工业设备通常采取定制化“交钥匙”模式,直接安装于第三方客户的封闭厂区内,权利人极难通过常规市场流通渠道获取实物证据。对此,集佳律师团队确立了“线上锁定初步证据、线下申请法院保全”的破局策略。
The accused large-scale industrial equipment is typically delivered on a customized "turnkey" basis and directly installed within the enclosed premises of third-party customers. Consequently, it is extremely difficult for the patentee to obtain physical evidence through conventional market circulation channels. To overcome this obstacle, Unitalen's attorney team established a breakthrough strategy of "locking in preliminary evidence online, and applying for court-ordered preservation offline".
本案审理期间,法庭共组织两次现场勘验。在第二次勘验中,集佳律师发现被诉侵权产品实物存在被切割、重新焊接及封堵预留接口等后期人为改动痕迹;同时,发现被告提交法庭的关键技术图纸亦存在篡改、抹除的变造线索。面对被告企图掩盖侵权特征的行径,律师当庭指出其恶意变造保全证据的妨碍诉讼行为。法庭最终全面采信了律师意见,依据《最高人民法院关于知识产权民事诉讼证据的若干规定》第二十五条第一款,认定被告实施了致使证据不能使用的行为,依法推定集佳律师就该证据所涉证明事项的主张成立。
During the trial of this case, the court organized two on-site inspections. During the second inspection, Unitalen's attorneys discovered signs of later manual alterations on the physical accused infringing product, such as cutting, re-welding, and sealing up reserved interfaces. Meanwhile, they further found evidence of tampering and erasure in the key technical drawings submitted by the defendant to the court. Facing the defendant's attempts to conceal the infringing features, the attorneys pointed out in court the defendant's acts of maliciously altering preserved evidence to obstruct civil proceedings. The court ultimately fully adopted the attorneys' opinions. Pursuant to Article 25, Para.1 of the Several Provisions of the Supreme People's Court on Evidence in Civil Procedures of Intellectual Property Rights, the court determined that the defendant had committed acts resulting in the evidence being unusable, and thus presumed, in accordance with the law, that Unitalen's assertions regarding the facts to be proved by such evidence were established.
在专利侵权诉讼中,被告拒不提供财务账册,为证明B2B设备制造商存在侵权获利,集佳律师引入同类工业设备行业头部企业的公开招股书及财报,客观论证了该行业同类工业设备的平均利润率,并结合前期公证固定的设备单价及销量,清晰计算出一笔侵权获利明细账。
In the patent infringement litigation, as the defendant refused to provide its financial ledgers, Unitalen's attorneys, to prove the infringement profits of the B2B equipment manufacturer, introduced public prospectuses and financial reports of leading enterprises in the same industrial equipment industry. Through this, they objectively demonstrated the average profit margin of the same industrial equipment in the industry. Combined with the unit prices and sales volumes of the equipment previously secured through notarization, the attorneys meticulously presented a detailed statement of the infringement profits.
在原告已尽力举证而被告构成举证妨碍的情况下,法庭进一步明确指出,被告篡改图纸、破坏待勘验设备以刻意隐瞒侵权事实的情节恶劣,主观恶意明显。法庭最终将上述妨碍诉讼的行为作为确定赔偿金额的“惩罚性因素”予以重点考量,对两案各100万元(共计200万元)的赔偿诉求给予了全额支持。
Under the circumstances where the plaintiff had exhausted its efforts in adducing evidence while the defendant's actions constituted obstruction of adducing evidence, the court further explicitly pointed out that the defendant's acts of tampering with drawings and damaging the equipment to be inspected to deliberately conceal the infringement facts were egregious and demonstrated clear subjective malice. Ultimately, the court heavily weighed the above acts of obstructing litigation as "punitive factors" in determining the amount of compensation, fully supporting the claim for compensation of RMB 1 million for each of the two cases (totaling RMB 2 million).
案件意义
Case Significance
这一判决不仅圆满实现了权利人的知识产权维权诉求,更充分体现了人民法院对国内外当事人一视同仁、平等保护的法治担当。与此同时,该判决亦有力彰显了司法机关对恶意侵权、妨碍诉讼行为予以严厉惩戒的鲜明态度。
This judgment not only fulfilled the patentee's demands for intellectual property protection, but also fully demonstrated the people's court's legal responsibility to treat domestic and foreign parties equally and provide equal protection. Meanwhile, the judgment also powerfully underscores the judicial authority's unequivocal stance on imposing severe punishment on malicious infringement and acts that obstruct litigation.
传统建材领域专利如何推翻技术启示?集佳代理异型桩模具无效案获维持
How to Rebut Technical Inspirations for Patents in the Field of Traditional Building Materials? Unitalen Successfully Maintains the "Special-Shaped Pile Mold" Patent Valid in the Invalidation Case
近日,集佳代理的一起实用新型专利无效宣告案件取得有利审查结果。国家知识产权局作出第611477号审查决定,在专利权人修改权利要求的基础上,维持“异型桩模具”实用新型专利权有效。
Recently, a utility model patent invalidation case represented by Unitalen saw a favorable examination outcome. The China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) issued Examination Decision No. 611477, maintaining the validity of the utility model "Special-shaped Pile Mold", based on the amendments to the claims made by the patentee.
案情概述
Case Summary
本案涉及传统建筑材料领域。该领域技术路线相对成熟,现有技术和专利文献较为密集,创造性判断中容易出现以结果倒推技术启示的倾向。本案中,无效请求人针对全部10项权利要求提出无效请求,并提交7份专利文献作为证据,试图通过多份证据组合否定涉案专利的创造性。经审理,合议组最终认定相关无效理由不能成立。
This case involves the field of traditional building materials. The technical routes in this field are relatively mature, with a high density of prior art and patent literature, making inventiveness determinations prone to the pitfall of retroactively deriving technical inspiration from the results. In this case, the invalidation petitioner filed an invalidation request against all ten claims and submitted seven patent documents as evidence, attempting to deny the inventiveness of the patent involved through combinations of multiple pieces of evidence. Upon examination, the collegial panel ultimately determined that the relevant grounds for invalidation were untenable.
本案焦点在于:权利要求1中“相邻模壳段单元的对应内壁基面在模壳中心线垂面内的坐标方位角不相等”这一区别特征,是否已被现有技术公开,或者是否能够由现有技术给出明确技术启示。
The focus of this case lies in whether the distinguishing feature in Claim 1, namely, "the coordinate azimuths of the corresponding inner wall base surfaces of adjacent mold shell segment units within the plane perpendicular to the mold shell centerline are not equal", has been disclosed in the prior art, or whether the prior art can provide explicit technical inspirations.
请求人主张,证据3(一种混凝土管桩)公开了管桩外壁螺旋状凸起及凹槽,并认为凹槽可对应于本专利的模壳段单元异型部,由此能够得到“旋转错位分布”的技术启示。
The petitioner argued that Evidence 3 (a concrete pipe pile) disclosed spiral protrusions and grooves on the outer wall of the pipe pile, and contended that the grooves could correspond to the special-shaped portions of the mold shell segment units in the patent involved, thereby obtaining the technical inspiration of "rotationally staggered distribution".
代理团队围绕争议焦点提出三层回应:
The attorney team formulated a three-tiered argument addressing the key issue in dispute.
第一,产品结构并不当然等同于模具结构。证据3涉及的是混凝土管桩这一最终产品,并未直接公开成型模具的具体结构。管桩表面的凸起、凹槽属于产品外观特征,不能据此直接反推出模具内部的模壳段单元及其方位角关系。
Firstly, the product structure does not naturally equate to the mold structure. Evidence 3 concerns a concrete pipe pile as the final product and does not directly disclose the specific structure of the forming mold. The protrusions and grooves on the surface of the pipe pile are appearance features of the product, which cannot be used to directly reverse-engineer the mold shell segment units inside the mold and their azimuthal relationships.
第二,成型方法的不确定性影响推导链条。建筑领域管桩成型方法并非单一,证据3的层状螺旋结构并不能明确推定其必然采用传统模具成型,更不足以进一步推导出模具内部的具体构造。
Secondly, uncertainty about the forming method affects the chain of deduction. In the construction field, the forming methods for pipe piles are diverse. The layered spiral structure in Evidence 3 does not lead to a definite presumption that a traditional mold-forming process must be employed, let alone further speculation of the specific structure inside the mold.
第三,技术目的不同,难以当然得出相同技术启示。证据3设置凸起凹槽,目的在于“打桩时施加扭力、增大摩擦力、减少用料”;本专利调整方位角,目的在于“使桩体各单元承载能力一致,提高结构稳定性”。二者所解决的技术问题和实现路径并不相同。
Thirdly, given the different technical purposes, it is difficult to derive the same technical inspiration naturally. The purpose of providing protrusions and grooves in Evidence 3 is to "apply torsion force during pile driving, increase frictional force, and reduce material consumption". Conversely, the purpose of adjusting the azimuths in the patent involved is to "render the bearing capacity of each unit of the pile body consistent and improve structural stability". The technical problems solved and the implementation paths of Evidence 3 and the patent involved are completely different.
合议组采纳上述观点,认定权利要求1具备创造性;基于引用关系,权利要求2-9亦维持有效。
The collegial panel adopted the above arguments and determined that Claim 1 involves an inventive step. Consequently, based on their dependency relationships, Claims 2-9 were also maintained valid.
案件意义
Case Significance
本案对传统行业专利的确权和维权具有一定参考意义。在现有技术文献较为密集的领域,创造性判断不能停留在特征罗列和表面相似性比较上。现有技术的公开内容、技术目的、适用场景以及本领域技术人员能否形成明确改进动机,均需要结合案件事实作具体分析。
This case holds significant reference value for the right confirmation and protection of patents in traditional industries. In fields with a high density of prior art literature, the assessment of inventiveness must not be confined to a mere listing of features or a superficial comparison of similarities. The disclosure, technical purposes, and application scenarios of the prior art, as well as whether those skilled in the art can hold a clear motivation for improvement, shall all undergo concrete analysis in light of the facts of the case.
