A France global manhole cover industry leader is the creator of the manhole cover industry European EN124 standard, has its products sold worldwide in more than 150 countries, and is recognized as the world's number one manhole cover brand. This company desires to globally synchronously release a technically significantly improved product. However, before the release, the French company learned that a manhole cover protected by a design patent owned by a Shanxi manufacturing company is very similar to the new product.
Under the pressure of the approaching of the new product release date, our team members were entrusted with the case. After carefully studying the evidence and leaving no stone unturned, we identified key evidence and filed an invalidity request. Finally, before the new product release, the design patent was declared invalid. The excellent work of our team members assured the smooth introduction of our client’s new product to the market. After several years of competition, the new product has become one of the company's most successful products.
