A Japanese battery manufacturer filed an invalidity request against a patent owned by a Shanghai coil technology manufacturing company using a large number of relevant evidence for the purpose of clearing intellectual property barriers in order to construct a factory in China to manufacture battery products.
Our team members were entrusted by the Shanghai coil technology manufacturing company to respond to the invalidity request. After analyzing the evidence, based on past experience, our team members determined that the purpose of the opponent is not to invalidate the patent, but rather hope to narrow the scope of protection through the invalidity proceeding so as the opponent’s products can avoid the patent. After clearly understanding the opponent’s purpose, we successfully defended the protection scope through rational development of defense strategies and content, realizing the invalidity strategy and ensuring our client’s interests.
