Summary of the case:

Zhejiang Sanhua Intelligent Controls Co., Ltd. ("Sanhua") was established in 1994. After 27 years of development, Sanhua has formed a development pattern centered on the two major business segments of home appliance refrigeration components and automotive thermal management components. As a leading enterprise in home appliance refrigeration parts, Sanhua has achieved significant economy of scale and long-term stable operation. In the field of electronic expansion valves involved in this overseas lawsuit, currently only 6 companies in the world have achieved mass production, and Sanhua ranks first with about half of the market share.

Sanhua has stable cooperation regarding electronic expansion valve sales with a Korean electronics company. A competitor intended to sell electronic expansion valves of similar structure to this Korean company, and these electronic expansion valves will be installed in air conditioners sold by the Korean electronics company to the Middle East. To win over a commercial order of the Korean electronics company, the competitor filed a petition regarding the patent protection scope determination of the self-produced electronic expansion valve and Sanhua's Korea Patents for Invention No. 1455952 and No. 1478777 in early 2019 to the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal, claiming that its electronic expansion valve does not fall within the patent right protection scopes of the above-mentioned two Korean inventions of Sanhua. After trial, the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal determined in the judgment of the first instance that the electronic expansion valve product of the competitor falls within the protection scope of patent No. 1478777, but does not fall within the protection scope of patent No. 1455952. In addition, the competitor also submitted a request for invalidation with the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal against the Korean Patent for Invention No. 1157746 of Sanhua. After trial by the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal, the patent was maintained valid entirely.

In response to the two first-instance judgments issued by the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal, the competitor and Sanhua both appealed to the Patent Court in Korea. In September 2021, the Patent Court in Korea issued two second-instance judgments:

(1) Judgment No. 2020he6866: revoking the judgment (No. 2019dang587) made by the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal, determining that the invention disclosed in the description and drawings of the competitor falls within the scope of claim 1 of Sanhua's Korea Patent for Invention No. 1455952; the litigation costs shall be borne by the competitor.

(2) Judgment No. 2020he6613: upholding the judgment (No. 2019dang588) made by the Korean Intellectual Property Tribunal, rejecting the appeal of the competitor, and determining that the invention disclosed in the description and drawings of the competitor falls within the scopes of claims 1-4 and 7-9 of Sanhua's Korea Patent for Invention No. 1478777 (equivalent); the litigation costs shall be borne by the competitor.

Typical significance:

Unitalen and SHIN & KIM represented Sanhua in the Korean patent litigation and won an overall victory. This is also one of the few important patent litigation cases where a Chinese company has won an overall victory in the Patent Court in Korea. This case is also of great significance to the global intellectual property protection of Sanhua's electronic expansion valves and other products.

Brief of the case:

Recently, Unitalen represented Beijing Normal University in the second instance and retrial of the case of review on cancellation of the trademark "JINGSHI". The Supreme People's Court ruled to uphold the second instance judgment (that is, to maintain the valid registration of the disputed trademark "JINGSHI" in "Legal services"). Thereby Unitalen client won the final judgment.

The 3-year non-use cancellation case of the trademark "JINGSHI" is quite tortuous: the Trademark Office maintained the registration; the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board (TRAB) cancelled the registration; the Beijing Intellectual Property Court upheld the TRAB's ruling in the first instance; the Beijing High People's Court revoked the first instance judgment, determined that the evidence of use of the trademark "JINGSHI" was sufficient to prove that it has been commercially applied in "Legal services" truly and effectively, and maintained the registration of the trademark "JINGSHI"; and the third party appealed to the Supreme People's Court for a retrial due to dissatisfaction with the second instance judgment, and the appeal was rejected.

Typical significance:

In this case, on the one hand, the attorney conducted an in-depth investigation on the evolution of the name of "Legal services" from the 7^th edition of the Similar Goods and Services Table published when the disputed trademark was applied for registration to the currently effective 11^th edition of the Table, and consolidated the fact that "Legal research" is a specific term of "Legal services" from the aspects of service purpose, content, manner, and object, etc., to prevent the interests of the trademark registrant from being harmed due to changes in the Table. On the other hand, the attorney demonstrated, from the perspective of the Civil Code, the validity of a license contract with dissolving conditions and the use that does not violate the will of the trademark holder.

On September 10, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court held a briefing on the perjury-related punishment in the administrative cases over the review on cancellation of trademark right, reported relevant information on the trial of administrative cases over the review on cancellation of trademark right, introduced main measures for regulation of the perjury behavior in such cases, and gave relevant suggestions for further strengthening the full-chain protection of intellectual property. Meanwhile, a series of "typical cases of perjury-related punishment in the administrative cases over the review on cancellation of trademark right" were released in the briefing. Unitalen's "Case of administrative dispute over the review on cancellation of trademark right of BLACKDIAMOND" was selected into the typical cases.
