Beijing Court Declares Apple Has Infringed Chinese Patent

[FNFAL]

Chinese companies nowadays own real technologies, while American companies like Apple normally like to sue others for infringement of their designs. It has been a known fact in recent years.

Many people, trying desperately to uphold their false belief of the US superiority in tech, says design, which are mostly art and marketing works, are technologies.

If you try to get a job in tech with that belief, you are going to get it in China, not anywhere in the West.

Talk about epic fails...Look at the iphone copies from Chinese manufacturers.

I lived through the JPNese and the SKReans yrs of when they worked to enter the US market with their products. There were some blatant copying/emulating of successful US/Western products but I do not recall anything like this...

Is this true ? Seriously...Labial ? Can you look up 'labial' ?

Why do you only post the bad counterfeit goods? You should see those counterfeit LV and Channel at the Guangzhou leather market. Half of Africa is there buying the place up.

Well said, my friend. They like it or not, China will bring the heat to them. Hopefully, Vietnam will follow the suit when it achieves a certain level of technological capability.

Feeding these people their own medicine is refreshing.

Joke of the Year,

compared to the joke of the century-Indian, its nothing, really nothing

What we are talking about is Apple leaving Chinese industry, which will indeed be a disaster for Chinese, because irrespective of the share of Apple, it is the premium most smartphone by a margin.

since just one Chinese tech firm alone has been issuing 769 patents to Apple in a year time, so I shouldnt be afraid there'd be no one to replace it after its been forced to leave```

and btw, apple takes less than 25% of China's high-end smart phone market```so we have many options to choose either from domestic brands or foreign brands

Next...The Chinese are going to charge that Steve Jobs copied Lei Jun in clothing.

yes maybe, who knows, as american has been stealing to many to count```using the word 'copy' is overrated to you lot``just enjoy the moment of lead, with the rise of East Asia, your leading time is coming to an end kid``

Let's see what the final verdict will be. The foreign company looks like ready to fight to the bone and flesh. Good. Hopefully the company will be forced either to stop selling the copied products or pay royalty to the original IP holder.

Apple's appeal in iPhone case accepted by IP court
China Daily, June 20, 2016

The Beijing Intellectual Property Court has accepted an appeal by Apple to review a ruling by the capital's patent office ordering the company to halt the sales of its iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus in Beijing after finding the design too closely resembles a Chinese phone.

The Beijing Intellectual Property Office said in a statement on its website that it ordered Apple and a reseller of its products in Beijing, Beijing Zoomflight Communication Equipment Co, to stop selling the two iPhone models after it found they infringed upon the rights of a Shenzhen-based company.

A spokesman for the court said it had accepted Apple's appeal to review the ruling, but it has not set a time for the hearing.

An Apple spokesman told AFP that the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, as well as iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone SE models are "all available for sale today in China".

"We appealed an administrative order from a regional patent tribunal in Beijing last month, and as a result the order has been stayed pending review by the Beijing IP Court," the Apple spokesman said.

The complaint against Apple was filed by Shenzhen Baili Marketing Service Co, a small Chinese brand that designed a cellphone model called the 100C.

Despite a number of differences between the 100C and the iPhone 6, "the differences are too tiny to be noticeable by average consumers, and thus it should be deemed that there is no apparent difference between the two phone models", according to a verdict by the Beijing patent tribunal.

The tribunal made its ruling in May, and it was reported by Chinese media recently.

The IP dispute is the latest faced by Apple over the design of its products in China, its second-largest market after the Americas.

The company lost a four-year fight against a Beijing leather products maker in May after the Beijing Municipal High People's Court ruled in favor of Xintong Tiandi Technology, which sells a number of leather products such as smartphone cases and handbags under the name "iphone".

In 2012, Apple paid $60 million to a Shenzhen-based maker of computer screens and LED lights to settle a dispute over the iPad trademark on the Chinese mainland.

The company, Proview Technology, claimed that the Taipei subsidiary of its Hong Kong-based parent registered the iPad trademark in a number of countries and regions in 2000. Even though the iPad trademark was purchased by Apple from Proview Taipei in 2009, Proview Shenzhen said it reserved the right to use the trademark it registered on the Chinese mainland in 2001.

Apple told no iPhone 6 sales in Beijing
Source: AP | June 20, 2016, Monday

A Chinese regulator has ordered Apple Inc to stop selling two versions of its iPhone 6 in Beijing after finding they look too much like a competitor, but Apple says sales are going ahead while it appeals.

The ruling by an intellectual property tribunal is the latest legal stumbling block for the iconic US titan in its second-biggest global market. The company also faces rising competition from local brands including Huawei and Xiaomi, which have gained market share.

The order by the Beijing tribunal said the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus looked too much like the 100C model made by Shenzhen Beili, a small Chinese brand. The order was issued in May but reported last week by the Chinese press.

Apple said a Beijing court stayed the administrative order on appeal and the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus models are still on sale.

Joke of the Year,

Seriously? The world knows the joke country title belongs to you judging by your amazing track record.

It may be a joke of the year, but at least, from the side of the US, it is a bad joke. Besides, joke or not, the result is what matters. To tell a hard joke like this, one needs strong economic and technological spine. In the land where call centers are considered high tech, trade wars based on (petty or not petty) excuses should not be known.

Probably that Indian is ignorant of the use of trade as a diplomacy tool.
