中国PCT国际专利申请量连续四年居世界首位
China Ranks First in PCT International Patent Applications for Fourth Consecutive Year
2月28日，世界知识产权组织（WIPO）发布了2022年专利、商标和工业品外观设计国际注册成果。在2022年通过《专利合作条约》（PCT）途径提交的国际专利申请量上，中国再次位居世界第一，这是中国于2019年首次登顶以来，连续四年位居榜首。
On February 28, the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) unveiled the results of international registrations of patents, trademarks, and industrial designs in 2022. China once again ranked first in the number of international patent applications filed under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) in 2022, marking the fourth consecutive year that China has topped the list since its inaugural crowning in 2019.
WIPO数据显示，2022年，全球创新主体克服新冠肺炎疫情和经济条件困难的影响，提交的国际专利申请总量达到27.81万件，增长0.3%——这是有史以来单一年度的申请总量最高纪录。其中，中国的PCT国际专利申请量达7.0015万件，同比增长0.6%，中国仍然是PCT国际专利申请量最大的来源国。美国（5.9056万件）、日本（5.0345万件）、韩国（2.2012万件）、德国（1.7530万件）分别排在第二至第五位。
WIPO data shows that in 2022, global players in innovation overcame the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and difficult economic conditions and filed 278,100 international patent applications in total, a year-on-year increase of 0.3%—this is a record number of applications filed in a single year throughout history. China's number of PCT international patent applications reached 70,015, a 0.6% increase over the last year, and China has remained the top origin of PCT international patent applications. The United States (59,056 applications), Japan (50,345 applications), South Korea (22,012 applications) and Germany (17,530 applications) ranked second to fifth, respectively.
按照PCT国际专利申请人的分类，中国企业和高校表现抢眼。中国的华为技术有限公司以7689件PCT国际专利申请位居第一，韩国的三星电子（4387件）、美国的高通公司（3855件）、日本的三菱电机株式会社（2320件）和瑞典的爱立信公司（2158件）分列第二至第五位，广东欧珀移动通信有限公司（1963件）和京东方科技集团股份有限公司（1884件）分列第六、第七位。在教育领域，加利福尼亚大学（552件）位列第一，浙江大学（309件）位居第二位，其次是苏州大学（303件）、小利兰·斯坦福大学（217件）和德克萨斯大学系统（187件）。在排名前十位的教育机构中，苏州大学提交申请的增幅最大，几乎是2021年的两倍。
Among the classes of PCT international patent filers, Chinese enterprises and universities performed noticeably well. China's Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. ranked first with 7,689 PCT international patent applications, Samsung Electronics of South Korea (4,387 applications), Qualcomm Incorporated of the United States (3,855 applications), Mitsubishi Electric Corporation of Japan (2,320 applications) and Ericsson of Sweden (2,158 applications) ranked second to fifth, and Guangdong OPPO Mobile Telecommunications Corp., Ltd.

典型案例：
集佳代理睿创集团获得恶意诉讼案的全面胜利
Unitalen's Client Raytron Group Won a Full Victory in a Malicious Litigation Case
睿创集团：“本案对中国知识产权司法保护的促进意义和学术意义必将在未来的司法实践中体现出来。”
Raytron Group: "The promotion of this case to the intellectual property judicial protection in China and its academic significance will certainly be reflected in future judicial practice."
基本案情
Case brief
烟台睿创微纳技术股份有限公司、烟台艾睿光电科技有限公司、安徽英睿系统技术有限公司等（下称“睿创集团”）成立于2009年，是专业从事专用集成电路、特种芯片及MEMS传感器设计与制造技术开发的国家高新技术企业，并致力于打造中国最有价值的特种芯片企业，成为世界领先的智慧感知技术解决方案提供商。
Raytron Technology Co., Ltd., IRay Technology Co., Ltd., Anhui InfiRay Technologies Co., Ltd., etc.（hereinafter referred to as the "Raytron Group"）, which were established in 2009, are national high-tech enterprises specializing in the design and manufacturing technology development of application-special integrated circuits, special chips and MEMS sensors, and are committed to becoming the most valuable special chip enterprise in China and the world-leading provider of intelligent sensing technology solutions.
武汉红视热像科技有限公司（下称“武汉红视”）于2016年起与睿创集团形成合作关系，代理睿创集团销售旗下相关红外夜视仪设备，其后因经营理念不合双方终止合作。2019年11月，武汉红视以睿创集团及其子公司所生产的E3、E6系列红外热像仪，侵犯其涉案专利权为由，向武汉市中级人民法院提起第一次诉讼并要求赔偿两千余万元。武汉中院经审查后，裁定本案由合肥市中级人民法院管辖。在该案被移送至管辖法院后，武汉红视于2020年5月主动申请撤诉。
Wuhan Hongshi Thermal Imaging Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Wuhan Hongshi") had been maintaining a cooperative relationship with Raytron Group since 2016 and selling the infrared night vision devices of Raytron Group as an agent. The two parties terminated the cooperation due to different business philosophies. In November 2019, Wuhan Hongshi filed the first lawsuit with the Wuhan Intermediate People's Court and claimed for compensation of no less than 20 million yuan on the grounds that the E3 and E6 series thermal infrared imagers produced by Raytron Group and its subsidiaries infringed its patent rights. Upon examination, the Wuhan Intermediate People's Court ruled that this case was under the jurisdiction of the Hefei Intermediate People's Court. After the case was transferred to the Hefei Intermediate People's Court, Wuhan Hongshi took the initiative to apply for withdrawal of the lawsuit in May 2020.
2020年6月，距撤回前案间隔不到一个月，武汉红视再次以同样的案由同样的证据再次针对睿创集团及其子公司提起专利侵权诉讼，并将索赔额陡然拔高至4422.57万元。武汉红视在第二次起诉时为了强行将管辖连接点建立在武汉，将睿创集团旗下的武汉分公司列为共同被告，而该分公司的成立时间却晚于其提交的侵权证据的形成时间。其后，武汉红视第二次提起诉讼再次历经管辖权异议一审及二审，由最高人民法院于2021年6月裁定本案应由合肥市中级人民法院管辖。
In June 2020, less than a month after the previous case was withdrawn, Wuhan Hongshi again filed a patent infringement lawsuit against Raytron Group and its subsidiaries with the same cause of action and the same evidence, and the amount of claim increased steeply to 44.2257 million yuan. In order to forcibly set connection point of jurisdiction in Wuhan, Wuhan Hongshi included the Wuhan branch of Raytron Group as a co-defendant in the second lawsuit. However, the establishment of the branch was later than the establishment time in the evidence submitted. Subsequently, the second lawsuit filed by Wuhan Hongshi again went through the first and second trials with regard to jurisdictional objection, and the Supreme People's Court ruled in June 2021 that this case should be under the jurisdiction of the Hefei Intermediate People's Court.
集佳团队在代理睿创集团应对武汉红视轮番提起侵权诉讼的同时，亦针对涉案专利提起了无效宣告请求。集佳团队迅速检索到已公开涉案专利技术方案的对比文件，且相关文件为武汉红视自行发布在微信公众号平台的宣传文章，以及网络视频平台的功能介绍视频。在无效口审过程中，武汉红视也认可前述视频所公开的技术原理与涉案专利技术原理一致。最终，涉案专利于2021年8月31日被国家知识产权局宣告专利权全部无效。
When representing Raytron Group in the infringement lawsuits filed by Wuhan Hongshi, the Unitalen team filed a request for invalidation of the patent concerned. The Unitalen team quickly retrieved the reference documents of the technical solution of the patent concerned that have been disclosed, and the relevant documents were the promotional articles on the WeChat official account and the function introduction videos on the online video platform published by Wuhan Hongshi. In the process of oral hearing of the invalidation case, Wuhan Hongshi recognized that the technical principles disclosed in the aforementioned videos are consistent with the technical principles of the patent concerned. Finally, the patent concerned was declared invalid in whole by the CNIPA on August 31, 2021.
虽因涉案专利被成功无效致使前述专利侵权诉讼被驳回起诉，但睿创集团合法利益却无故蒙受损失。睿创集团不仅为应对武汉红视提起的诉讼程序耗费了大量的人力物力财力，而且涉案产品的销量以及睿创集团的商业声誉亦无端蒙受难以估量的隐形损失。据此，睿创集团及其子公司委托集佳律师事务所于2022年1月向武汉红视提起恶意诉讼损害责任纠纷之诉，随后合肥市中级人民法院正式受理此案。
Although the aforementioned patent infringement lawsuit was dismissed due to the successful invalidation of the patent concerned, Raytron Group's legitimate interests suffered losses for no reason. Rraytron Group consumed a lot of human resources, materials and finances to deal with the lawsuits filed by Wuhan Hongshi. Moreover, the sales of the relevant products declined and Raytron's reputation suffered immeasurable intangible losses for no reason. Accordingly, Raytron Group and its subsidiaries entrusted Unitalen Law Office to file a lawsuit arising from a dispute over liability for damage due to the malicious litigation against Wuhan Hongshi in January 2022, and the case was then formally accepted by Hefei Intermediate People's Court.
在一审败诉的情况下，集佳律师团队及时总结经验，以武汉红视明知已在先自行公开技术方案，却仍然恶意申请专利的行为作为突破口，重新收集组织证据，并向法院补充提交了证明睿创集团与武汉红视早年的合作关系以及武汉红视代理销售涉案侵权产品的相关证据，并且补充了武汉红视聘请专业的专利代理机构申请数十件专利的证据，用以证明武汉红视熟知专利权的授予条件，知晓涉案专利存在的实质缺陷，却故意申请专利并用于提起侵权诉讼，存在滥用诉权的主观恶意。同时，集佳积极展开法律调研及类案检索工作，对恶意提起知识产权诉讼的法律关系及实践判例进行深入研究分析，形成专题研究文章以及类案检索报告。
After losing the court case in the first trial, Unitalen team summed up the experience in a timely manner, took Wuhan Hongshi's act of maliciously applying for a patent while knowing perfectly well that it had disclosed the technical solution beforehand as a breakthrough point to re-collect the evidence. Unitalen submitted additional evidence to the court to prove the cooperation relationship between Raytron Group and Wuhan Hongshi in the early years and to prove that Wuhan Hongshi sold the allegedly infringing products concerned as an agent, and added evidence that Wuhan Hongshi hired a professional patent agency to apply for dozens of patents to prove that Wuhan Hongshi had subjective malice of abusing the right to sue for the reason that it knew very well the conditions for granting patent rights and the substantive defects of the patent concerned, but still applied for several patents fraudulently and filed the infringement lawsuits based on the patents. Meanwhile, Unitalen carried out legal research and searched for similar cases actively, conducted in-depth research and analysis on the legal relationship and practical precedents of malicious filing of an intellectual property lawsuit, and composed special research articles and a similar case search report.
最终安徽省高级人民法院采信了我方的论点，于2023年2月10日作出判决，认定武汉红视滥用诉权的行为构成恶意诉讼，并判令其赔偿睿创集团相应的合理支出。
Finally, the Anhui High People's Court supported our arguments and entered a judgment on February 10, 2023 ruling that Wuhan Hongshi's abuse of the right to sue constituted malicious litigation and ordered Wuhan Hongshi to compensate Raytron Group for the corresponding reasonable expenses.
至此，睿创集团获得恶意诉讼案的最终胜利并且成功维护自身合法权益，也为睿创集团与武汉红视之间长达四年横跨整个疫情时代的系列诉讼纠纷画上了圆满的句号。
Finally, Raytron Group won the final victory of the malicious litigation case and successfully defended its lawful rights and interests. The four-year-long series lawsuits between Raytron Group and Wuhan Hongshi spanning the entire COVID-19 pandemic ended in a satisfactory way.

集佳代理韩国LG生活健康成功认驰并取得二审案件胜诉
Unitalen Represented LG Household & Health Care of South Korea, Successfully Certified Its Trademarks as Well-known Trademarks, and Won the Second Instance Case
案情简介
Case Brief:
深圳市丰雅贸易有限公司（下称“深圳丰雅公司”）在其官方网站、新浪微博等处使用“The History of Whoo一后”“The History of Whoo后”“Whoo一后”“Whoo后”等商标宣传第20、24、26、44、45等相关类别的商品和服务，并且网站上所附相关图片因引起访问者不适而向LG生活健康方面进行投诉。
Shenzhen Fengya Trading Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Shenzhen Fengya Company") used trademarks such as "The History of Whoo一后", "The History of Whoo后", "Whoo一后", and "Whoo后" on its official website, Sina Weibo, etc. to promote the related goods and services in classes 20, 24, 26, 44, and 45, and complained to LG Household & Health Care for the discomfort caused by the relevant pictures attached to the website to the visitors.
株式会社LG生活健康（下称“LG生活健康”）经查询发现，深圳丰雅公司自2016年5月起还在第20、24、26、44、45等商品和服务相关类别上申请“Whoo后”“Whoo一后”“
”等商标并核准注册。
Upon enquiry, LG Household & Health Care CO., LTD. (hereinafter referred to as "LG Household & Health Care") found that since May 2016, Shenzhen Fengya Company has applied for trademarks such as "Whoo后", "Whoo一后", and "
" on goods and services in classes 20, 24, 26, 44, and 45, and the trademarks were approved for registration.
对此，LG生活健康在集佳律师的分析建议下，以民事诉讼和无效宣告程序双管齐下，以期实现对深圳丰雅公司所申请使用的相关商标的禁用和禁注。
In this regard, LG Household & Health Care, based on the analysis and suggestions of Unitalen attorneys, adopted a dual approach of civil litigation and invalidation procedures to achieve prohibition of use or registration of relevant trademarks applied for use by Shenzhen Fengya Company.
在民事诉讼案件中，LG生活健康主张深圳丰雅公司的相关被诉行为构成对其已注册驰名商标的侵害。该案经广东省深圳市中级人民法院（下称“深圳中院”）一审，支持了LG生活健康的相关主张，认定在深圳丰雅公司申请注册涉案被诉商标之前，LG生活健康第4819575号“
”和第9327294号“
”商标在第3类化妆品商品上已达到驰名状态。而且，该驰名状态一直持续到LG生活健康对深圳丰雅公司被诉侵权行为取证之时的2020年5月并延续到LG生活健康起诉。
In the civil litigation case, LG Household & Health Care asserted that the relevant sued acts of Shenzhen Fengya Company constituted infringement of its registered well-known trademarks. The case was first tried by Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court, Guangdong Province (hereinafter referred to as the "Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court"), which supported the relevant claims of LG Household & Health Care, and determined that before Shenzhen Fengya Company applied for the registration of the sued trademarks, the trademarks "
" No. 4819575 and "
" No. 9327294 had reached a well-known status on cosmetics products in class 3. Moreover, this well-known status continued until May 2020, when LG Household & Health Care took evidence of the alleged infringement of Shenzhen Fengya Company, and continued until LG Household & Health Care filed a lawsuit.
深圳中院一审判决：深圳丰雅公司立即停止侵害LG生活健康享有的第4819575号“
”和第9327294号“
”注册商标专用权的行为；深圳丰雅公司在一审判决生效之日起十日内，连续三日就其侵权行为在《南方都市报》《羊城晚报》非中缝版面，连续十日在其官网、官方微博首页显著位置刊登声明，消除影响；深圳丰雅公司在一审判决生效之日起十日内赔偿LG生活健康经济损失及合理维权支出共计45万元。
The first instance judgment of the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court: Shenzhen Fengya Company shall immediately stop acts of infringing on the exclusive right to use the registered trademarks "
" No. 4819575 and "
" No. 9327294 enjoyed by LG Household & Health Care. Within ten days from the effective date of the first instance judgment, Shenzhen Fengya Company shall publish a statement on its infringement behavior in the non middle section of Nanfang Metropolis Daily and Yangcheng Evening News for three consecutive days, and publish a statement in a prominent position on its official website and official Weibo homepage for ten consecutive days to eliminate the impact. Shenzhen Fengya Company shall compensate LG Household & Health Care for economic losses and reasonable rights protection expenses of 450,000 yuan within ten days from the effective date of the first instance judgment.
深圳丰雅公司不服上述一审判决并向广东省高级人民法院（下称“广东高院”）提起上诉。
Shenzhen Fengya Company refused to accept the above judgment of first instance and filed an appeal to the High People's Court of Guangdong Province (hereinafter referred to as "Guangdong High People's Court").
二审基本情况及终审认定
Basic information of the second instance and final determination
深圳丰雅公司在上诉中提出四点主要理由：LG生活健康享有的第4819575号“
”和第9327294号“
”不构成驰名商标；深圳丰雅公司的行为不构成侵权；即便认定深圳丰雅公司构成侵权，一审判决确定的赔偿数额也明显过高；一审判决认定深圳丰雅公司的行为贬损了LG生活健康的市场声誉是错误的。
In the appeal, Shenzhen Fengya Company proposes four main reasons: "
" No. 4819575 and "
" No. 9327294 enjoyed by LG Household & Health Care do not constitute well-known trademarks. The acts of Shenzhen Fengya Company do not constitute infringement. Even if it is determined that Shenzhen Fengya Company constitutes an infringement, the amount of compensation determined in the first instance judgment is obviously too high. The determination of the first instance judgment that the acts of Shenzhen Fengya Company detracted from market reputation of LG Household & Health Care is wrong.
关于涉案商标是否应当认定为驰名商标的问题，二审法院认为，在案证据可以证实，截至2016年5月3日深圳丰雅公司在第20类等商品上申请注册涉案被诉商标之时，LG生活健康的权利商标在相关公众中已经具有较高知名度，结合证据进行查明认定，足以认定涉案权利商标在2016年5月3日之前已经在第3类化妆品商品上被相关公众所熟知，具有较高的知名度、市场影响力以及良好的市场声誉，达到驰名状态，应当被认定为驰名商标。深圳丰雅公司上诉主张涉案商标不构成驰名商标的各项理由不成立。
Regarding the issue of whether the trademarks involved should be recognized as well-known trademarks, the court of second instance holds that the evidence in the case can confirm that, as of May 3, 2016, when Shenzhen Fengya Company applied for the registration of the sued trademark involved on goods in class 20, the right trademark of LG Household & Health Care had a high reputation among the relevant public. With the evidence, it was found and determined that, the right trademarks involved were already well known by the relevant public, had high popularity, market influence, good market reputation, and reached a well-known status on cosmetics products in class 3 before May 3, 2016, and should be recognized as well-known trademarks. The reasons for Shenzhen Fengya Company's appeal asserting that the trademarks involved do not constitute well-known trademarks are not established.
关于被诉侵权行为是否构成侵权的问题，二审法院认为，被诉侵权行为显然会破坏涉案驰名商标与相关化妆品之间形成的稳定的对应关系，减弱涉案驰名商标的显著性，也会降低涉案商标在相关公众心目中的形象，减弱化妆品消费者对涉案商标的认同感，贬损涉案驰名商标的市场声誉，损害涉案驰名商标注册人的合法权益，属于《商标法》第十三条第三款规定的“误导公众，致使该驰名商标注册人的利益可能受到损害”的情形，构成侵权。
Regarding the issue of whether the alleged infringement constitutes an infringement, the court of second instance holds that the alleged infringement obviously may undermine the stable correspondence formed between the well-known trademarks involved and the relevant cosmetics, weaken the distinctiveness of the well-known trademarks involved, also reduce the image of the trademarks involved in the relevant public eyes, weaken the identity of cosmetics consumers with the trademarks involved, derogate from the market reputation of the well-known trademarks involved, and damage the legitimate rights and interests of the well-known trademark registrant involved, which falls within the circumstance "mislead the public and damage the interests of the registrant of the well-known trademark" as stipulated in Article 13.3 of the Trademark Law, and thus the above act constitutes infringement.
关于一审确定的赔偿数额是否过高的问题，二审法院认为，即使深圳丰雅公司没有在实际经营中获利，其对LG生活健康涉案驰名商标所造成的损害是客观存在的，要恢复被减弱的涉案驰名商标的显著性和被贬损的涉案驰名商标的市场声誉的相关费用，理应由深圳丰雅公司负担。二审法院认为一审法院确定的赔偿数额并无不当。
Regarding the issue of whether the amount of compensation determined in the first instance is too high, the court of second instance holds that even if Shenzhen Fengya Company does not make a profit in actual operation, the damage it caused to the well-known trademarks involved of the LG Household & Health Care is objective, and the relevant costs for restoring the reduced distinctiveness of the well-known trademarks involved and the market reputation of the depreciated well-known trademarks involved should be borne by Shenzhen Fengya Company. The court of second instance holds that the amount of compensation determined by the court of first instance is not improper.
关于深圳丰雅公司是否应当承担消除影响的法律责任的问题，二审法院认为，深圳丰雅公司在第20、24、26、44、45等相关类别的商品和服务上擅自使用被诉侵权标识的行为，减弱了涉案驰名商标的显著性、贬损了涉案驰名商标的市场声誉，应当公开消除对此造成的不利影响。LG生活健康诉请深圳丰雅公司登报及在其官网和官方微博刊登声明消除影响的诉讼请求，理据充分。
Regarding the issue of whether Shenzhen Fengya Company should bear the legal responsibility to eliminate the impact, the court of second instance holds that Shenzhen Fengya Company's unauthorized use of the marks alleged for infringement on the relevant goods and services in classes 20, 24, 26, 44, and 45 has weakened the distinctiveness of the well-known trademarks involved and detracted from the market reputation of the well-known trademarks involved, and the adverse impact should be publicly eliminated. LG Household & Health Care's claim for Shenzhen Fengya Company to publish a statement in newspaper and on its official website and Weibo to eliminate the impact is well supported.
典型意义：
Typical significance:
本案是比较典型的驰名商标权利人为对其驰名商标造成淡化、丑化的侵权行为进行打击维权成功的案例。
This case is a typical case where well-known trademark holder cracks down on infringement acts of diluting and defaming its well-known trademark and succeeds in safeguarding rights.
本案经一审、二审均取得胜诉，且在商标无效宣告程序中，也成功将相关商标予以无效宣告，集佳律师凭借其在知识产权领域的专业水平和丰富经验，巧妙运用民行交叉程序实现了对相关商标的禁注和禁用，有力地维护了LG生活健康的知识产权。通过本案成功将LG生活健康享有的第4819575号“
”和第9327294号“
”认定为驰名商标，也必将会为LG生活健康后续可能的维权奠定了扎实基础。
This case has won both the first and second instances, and in the trademark invalidation process, the relevant trademarks have also been successfully declared invalid. With professional level and rich experience in the field of intellectual property, Unitalen attorneys skillfully apply the civil and administrative cross procedure to achieve the prohibition of use and registration of relevant trademarks, effectively safeguarding intellectual property of LG Household & Health Care. In this case, "
" No. 4819575 and "
" No. 9327294 enjoyed by LG Household & Health Care are successfully identified as well-known trademarks, which will definitely lay a solid foundation for the possible follow-up rights protection of LG Household & Health Care.
