典型案例：
集佳代理中国某充电网生态独角兽企业成功无效发明专利
Unitalen Representing a Chinese Charging Network Ecology Unicorn Company Successfully Invalidated Patent for Invention

Recently, Beijing Unitalen Law Office, representing a Chinese charging network ecology unicorn company (hereinafter referred to as "the client"), successfully invalidated all claims of the other party's patent right for invention in the patent invalidation announcement procedure. This protected the client's commercial interests, safeguarded its market operation and promotion, and swept away the haze.
案情简介
Case Brief
2023年9月，集佳律所接受客户委托代理发明专利无效宣告请求，涉案专利名为“一种新能源车位确定方法及装置”的发明专利ZL202110131805.X，该专利共有7项权利要求，包括3项独立权利要求，申请日为2021年1月30日，并于2022年4月22日获得授权。涉案专利所保护的技术方案涉及新能源车辆停车信息与充电场站及充电车位匹配的方法及装置。
In September 2023, Unitalen Law Office accepted a request for invalidation announcement of a patent for invention commissioned by a client. The patent involved is an invention patent under No. ZL202110131805.X entitled "New Energy Parking Space Determination Method and Device." This patent has seven claims in total, including three independent claims. The patent was filed on January 30, 2021, and was granted a patent right on April 22, 2022. The technical solution claimed in the patent relates to methods and devices for matching parking information of new energy vehicles with charging stations and charging parking spaces.
案件分析
Case Analysis
2023年9月12日，集佳代理客户针对涉案专利权向中国国家知识产权局提起无效宣告请求，明确指出涉案专利权因相对于现有技术不具备创造性而不符合专利授权条件，应予宣告无效的理由和证据。
On September 12, 2023, Unitalen, representing the client, filed a request for invalidation announcement against the patent right involved with the CNIPA, clearly pointing out the reasons and evidence for invalidation announcement of the patent right involved because it does not meet the requirements for being granted a patent right due to lack of an inventive step relative to the prior art.
通过仔细研读涉案专利的申请文本、授权文本以及授权过程的审查历史文档，集佳团队确定涉案专利的核心发明点为“通过获取车辆信息及充电需求信息，停车场中所有充电站车位的车位可使用时间段信息，所有充电站车位包括愿意共享车位的固定车主车位，综合车位的可使用时间段和充电需求的充电时间段，为车辆确定目标车位”。由此，集佳团队基于涉案专利背景确定无效检索策略，迅速高效地开展检索工作并寻找在先公开的专利文献以及相关的公知常识证据。
Upon careful review of the application documents, authorization documents, and examination history documents in the authorization process of the patent involved, the team at Unitalen determined the core inventive point of the patent involved as follows: "A target parking space for the vehicle is determined by acquiring vehicle information, charging demand information, parking space available time period information of all charging station parking spaces in the parking lot, all charging station parking spaces including parking spaces of fixed owners willing to share their parking spaces, available time periods for comprehensive parking spaces and charging time periods of charging demands." As a result, the team at Unitalen determined search strategies for invalidation based on the background of the patent involved, quickly and efficiently carried out search work, and searched for previously disclosed patent literature and relevant common knowledge evidence.
结合现有技术的证据情况的分析，集佳团队认为涉案专利独立权利要求的技术方案中“获取的是所有车位的可使用时间段信息，所有车位包含固定车主车位，确定目标车位时以充电需求的充电时间段与车位的可使用时间段进行匹配”，以及从属权利要求中涉及匹配方式的部分为此次无效中的难点和重点。
In combination with the analysis of evidence from the prior art, the team at Unitalen believes that the features "obtaining available time period information for all parking spaces, wherein all parking spaces include parking spaces of fixed owners and the charging time period of the charging demand is matched with the parking space available time period when the target parking space is determined" in the technical solution of the independent claim. The parts relating to the matching method in the dependent claims of the patent involved are the difficulties and focus of this invalidation.
针对上述重点问题，集佳团队积极收集多方面证据，并制定了全方面的无效策略。在证据搜集方面，一方面搜集了9篇与涉案专利相关的公开文献；另一方面积极寻找使用公开证据，通过现场公证、网页时间戳取证、手机App功能录屏取证等多种方式固定证据并紧密形成完整的证据链条。
In response to the key issues mentioned above, the team at Unitalen actively collected evidence from multiple sources and formulated comprehensive strategies for invalidation. In terms of evidence collection, on the one hand, nine pieces of published literature relating to the patent involved were collected; on the other hand, the team at Unitalen actively sought and used public evidence to fix evidence through various methods such as on-site notarization, webpage time-stamp for evidence collection, and screen recording function of mobile phone Apps for evidence collection, to closely form a complete evidence chain.
在无效策略上，集佳团队主张核心技术方案已被最接近对比文件公开，最接近的对比文件的区别特征均为“共享充电时为方便共享以及提升效能的具体手段”，且相关区别特征已被其他对比文件所公开，并且相关技术特征包括“充电桩共享时间段的利用”、“时间要求”以及“利用二维码和手机等实现通信绑定”等也是业内公知的技术和情形，并提供不同的组合方式由相关对比文件公开这些区别技术特征。
In terms of strategies for invalidation, the team at Unitalen proposed that the core technical solution has been disclosed by the closest reference document; the distinguishing feature from the closest reference document is "specific means for convenient sharing and efficiency improvement during shared charging"; the relevant distinguishing feature has been disclosed by other reference documents, and the relevant technical feature includes "utilization of the sharing time period of a charging pile," "time requirement," and "implementation in communication binding using QR codes, mobile phones, etc.", and the like, which are also technologies and situations well-known in the industry; and the team at Unitalen provided different combination methods of relevant reference documents to disclose these distinguishing technical features.
基于详尽的证据组合和多角度的充分论述，最终中国国家知识产权局采纳了集佳团队的主张，认为权利要求相对于现有技术与公知常识的结合是容易想到的。因此，中国国家知识产权局于2024年1月12日作出第565823号《无效宣告请求审查决定书》，以涉案专利缺乏创造性的理由，宣告涉案专利权全部无效。
Based on the detailed combination of evidence and full discussion from multiple perspectives, the CNIPA finally adopted the Unitalen team's proposition and deemed that it is easy to envisage the claims relative to the combination of the prior art and common knowledge. Therefore, the CNIPA issued No. 565823 Decision on Examination of Request for Invalidation Announcement on January 12, 2024, declaring the patent right involved entirely invalid for the reason that the patent involved lacks an inventive step.
结语
Conclusion
本案，自集佳团队收到客户委托直至中国国家知识产权局发出无效决定，仅耗时五个月，集佳团队助力客户高效迅速地解决纠纷，在保障客户商业利益的同时，为其市场运营推广保驾护航，扫除阴霾。
In this case, it only took five months from the Unitalen team's receipt of the client's commission to the CNIPA's issuance of a decision on invalidation. The team at Unitalen helps the client solve the dispute efficiently and quickly, safeguards its market operation and promotion while protecting its commercial interests, and sweeps away the haze.
涉“汽车雨刮器”发明专利侵权案
Case Involving Infringement over an Invention Patent of "Automobile Wiper"
基本案情
Case Brief
法国瓦某清洗系统公司系专利号为200610160549.2、名称为“机动车辆的刮水器的连接器及相应的连接装置”的发明专利的专利权人。其认为，厦门卢某汽车配件公司等制造、销售雨刮器产品的行为构成对涉案专利权的侵害，请求判令厦门卢某汽车配件公司等停止侵害、赔偿经济损失及维权合理开支600万元。一审程序中，法国瓦某清洗系统公司提出诉中行为保全申请，请求责令厦门卢某汽车配件公司等立即停止侵害。后一审法院先行作出部分判决，认定厦门卢某汽车配件公司等构成侵权，判令其停止侵害，但未同时处理有关行为保全申请。厦门卢某汽车配件公司等不服，提起上诉；法国瓦某清洗系统公司未提起上诉但仍坚持其诉中行为保全申请。最高人民法院受案后40天即公开开庭并当庭宣判，在纠正一审判决关于功能性特征认定的基础上，判决驳回上诉、维持原判，并在判决中指出对于有关诉中行为保全申请可以根据案件情况予以支持，以弥补一审判决因上诉暂时不具备执行力的法律效力空隙。
Valeo Systemes d'Essuyage in France is the patentee of an invention patent under patent No. 200610160549.2 entitled "Wiper Connector for Motor Vehicle and Corresponding Connection Device." It argues that the acts of manufacturing and sales of wiper products by Xiamen Lukasi Car Accessories Co. Ltd. and others constitute infringement over the patent right involved and requests to order Xiamen Lukasi Car Accessories Co. Ltd. and others to stop the infringement, compensate for economic losses and reasonable expenses for rights protection of 6 million yuan. In the first instance procedure, Valeo Systemes d'Essuyage in France filed an application for behavior preservation in the lawsuit, requesting to order Xiamen Lukasi Car Accessories Co. Ltd. and others to stop the infringement immediately. Subsequently, the court in the first instance made a partial judgment ahead of time, determining that Xiamen Lukasi Car Accessories Co. Ltd. and others constituted the infringement and ordered them to stop it, but did not simultaneously handle the relevant application for behavior preservation. Xiamen Lukasi Car Accessories Co. Ltd. and others were dissatisfied and filed an appeal; Valeo Systemes d'Essuyage in France did not file an appeal but still insisted on its application for behavior preservation in the lawsuit. After 40 days of receipt of the case, the SPC held a public court session and pronounced its judgment. Based on correction of the determination of functional features in the first instance judgment, the court pronounced a judgment of rejecting the appeal, upholding the original judgment, and pointed out in the judgment that the relevant application for behavior preservation in the lawsuit can be supported according to the situation of the case, to fill the gap of legal effect where the first instance judgment is temporarily unenforceable due to the appeal.
典型意义
Typical Significance
该案系最高人民法院知识产权法庭成立后敲响庭审“第一槌”的案件，是法庭履行国家层面知识产权案件上诉审理机制审判职能的首次公开展示。该案裁判体现了鲜明的加强知识产权保护导向，并作出了有益探索：实体方面，澄清功能性特征的认定标准，避免对专利权保护范围的不当限缩，确保专利权人获得与其技术贡献相匹配的权利保护范围；程序方面，倡导以“先行判决+临时禁令”的裁判方式及时高效救济权利，避免当事人“赢了官司、输了市场”。
This case is the first time that the SPC IP Court has sounded the "first hammer" of the trial after its establishment, and it is the first public display of the court to fulfill the trial function under the appeal trial mechanism for intellectual property cases in the national level. The judgment, in this case, reflects a clear orientation of strengthening intellectual property protection and makes helpful explorations: in the substantive aspect, clarifying the standard for determining functional features to avoid inappropriate limitations on the protection scope of patent rights and ensure that the patentee obtains the right protection scope matching the technical contributions; and in the procedural aspect, advocating for timely and efficient remedy rights through a determination manner of "preliminary judgment + temporary injunction" to protect parties involved from "winning the lawsuit but losing the market."
