In the end of 2012, Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court issued three favorable decisions for a worldwide leading power IC company (the “Company” hereinafter) represented by Beijing East IP Ltd. The court decisions affirmed that the Company did not infringe on any of the three patents asserted by an opponent (the “Plaintiff” hereinafter).

These court decisions are related to four patent infringement cases between the Company and the Plaintiff. In early 2010, the Plaintiff initiated four Chinese patent lawsuits against the Company. Beijing East IP Ltd., on behalf of the Company, filed invalidation requests before the Patent Reexamination Board and successfully invalidated three patents (one totally invalidated and two partially invalidated). As a result, the Plaintiff withdrew one of the four cases. In the three remaining cases, the Court affirmed that the products of the Company lacked several important technical features of the patent claims asserted by the Plaintiff and hence did not fall within the scope of the patents. The Court rejected all of the Plaintiff’s court claims.

This is a glorious victory not only for Beijing East IP Ltd., but also for our cooperative partner, a top law firm in China. In the past years, both firms have established a very close relationship and have well cooperated in other IP-related cases. We would like to show sincere thanks here to our partner firm for all of their great support, and we hope to have more and extensive cooperation with all our partners. We have been and are always looking forward to provide excellent services with our professional work for our clients.
