The IP Tribunal of the Supreme People’s Court (SPC) recently issued a decision in Dunjun v. Tengda ((2019) SPC IP Civil No. 147), holding that the manufacturer’s making and selling of routers directly infringed a telecommunication method-of-use patent even though the manufacturer itself did not perform the patented method. This case is recognised the Chinese Akamai case.

The European Chamber is delighted to invite Mr. Steve SONG, Partner and Patent Attorney of Beijing DHH Law Firm, who represented the defendant in this landmark case to provide our members insights by studying the judgement of a few cases regarding multi-party patent infringement.

In today's technology-rich environment, companies increasingly get involved in technology licensing and recognize the value of data as a business asset that should be protected and can be exploited through licensing to other parties for more synergy.

Companies therefore can encounter a range of agreements that implicate the protection and treatment of technology, data and related intellectual property (IP) rights. Where one party is seeking to exploit a software, a data feed or has developed a database it wishes to license, data and IP issues may be the specific focus of a transaction. However, those issues also arise as an ancillary consideration in other licenses and commercial transactions, e.g. technology services arrangements or as capital contribution for joint ventures.

One of the mottoes of the new Commission under the auspices of President Ursula Von der Leyen has been to “strive for more at home in order to lead in the world”. Throughout the new leadership’s 100 first days, a number of road-maps that will likely pave the way of Europe’s strategic development and global positioning in the next five years have been developed. Looking at EU-China cooperation and competition, perhaps two of the most relevant road-maps devised by the new Commission are its Artificial Intelligence (AI) White Paper – released on 19th February – and its industrial strategy – rolled out on 10th March.
