Our client Hallys Corporation (“Hallys”) possesses the patent for invention No. 201410267474.2 with the name of "processing device for sheet like objects and manufacturing method for sheet like components". In 2017 Hallys found that PDT, the South Korea Company, publicized glass cover CNC equipment at one Shenzhen exhibition. Hence, Hallys entrusted us to enforce this patent against PDT.
After receiving the entrustment, we had a detailed communication with our client and formulated the enforcement strategies. As the infringing products are large-scale processing equipment, it is difficult to obtain evidence, so our attorneys applied to the court for evidence preservation while filing the case. After careful sorting of the evidence, making our utmost efforts during the examination of suspected infringing products and the court trial, we successfully won the case, and the court made the judgment which fully supported our claims for compensation of CNY3,000,000.
With the evidence submitted to prove the infringing scale, the long period of the infringement, the contribution rate of the patent, the client not only ceased infringement, but received substantial compensation. The whole enforcement work highly meets the client’s expectations.
