2003 Utility Model Patent Infringement Dispute over Business Card-Style Handwriting Computer
In June 2001, a company in Shenzhen launched the "Xin e Tong" series, then the world's smallest all-Chinese handheld handwriting PDA, and obtained a utility model patent for the "business card-style handwriting computer." However, in May of the following year, a company in Zhongshan launched a product with identical technical features, the "Super Intelligent King," and promoted and sold it nationwide, leading to a utility model patent infringement dispute. Attorney Zhiming, representing the plaintiff Shenzhen company, conducted extensive and effective investigation and evidence collection. The dispute was later resolved through settlement, and the plaintiff's intellectual property rights were effectively protected.
