The new product has just been launched, and the counterfeit has been dumped

A certain electronic component company has invested heavily in research and development for several months and successfully launched a new type of connector with excellent performance. With technological advantages, the product quickly emerged in the market and the order volume continued to rise - this should have been the moment for the enterprise to reap the fruits.
However, the good times did not last long. A competitor has set their sights on this product and is crazily dumping counterfeit goods at a price 30% lower than the cost price. This malicious low price strategy quickly impacted the market, and within just two months, the company's monthly order volume plummeted by 52%, putting the previously invested 2 million yuan in research and development funds at risk of being unrecoverable. The fruits of technological innovation are about to be stolen by counterfeiters.

Complete notarization purchase and technical disassembly within 72 hours

At the first moment of receiving the commission, our intellectual property team quickly gathered and established a three-step strategy of "evidence first, litigation follow-up, and long-term layout". The first battle is a race against time for evidence collection.

72 hour evidence lightning battle

• Notarized purchase: The team rushed to the market as soon as possible, purchased infringing products as ordinary consumers, and notarized and preserved the purchase vouchers throughout the process
• Professional disassembly: Send infringing products to a professional laboratory for detailed disassembly to obtain key technical parameters
• Parameter comparison:  Conduct a preliminary comparison between the parameters of infringing products and the company's own technology to identify similarities

Research and Development Record Sorting

At the same time, the team went deep into the R&D department of the enterprise and systematically sorted out 13 detailed original R&D records:

• Design concept document: The complete design concept of the product from concept to molding
• Technical improvement process: detailed records and improvement logic for each technical iteration
• Experimental Data Report:  A report of data from 6 comprehensive experiments, covering testing methods, result analysis, and conclusions

These original records have become the 'ironclad evidence' to prove the originality of the technology, laying a solid foundation for subsequent litigation.

37 Differences Break the "Defense of Prior Art"

During the litigation process, the infringing party put forward the "defense of prior art" - claiming that the enterprise's technology has long existed and is not within the scope of patent protection. Once this defense is established, the entire foundation of rights protection will be shaken.

Joint Experts to Compile the "Technical Novelty Analysis Report"

Our firm quickly joined hands with three senior technical experts in the industry and spent two weeks meticulously compiling the "Technical Novelty Analysis Report":

• Item-by-Item Comparison: Conduct item-by-item comparison of technical features between the enterprise's patented technology and the infringing products
• Difference Labeling: Precisely point out 37 significant technical difference points between the two
• Novelty Argumentation: Demonstrate the novelty of the technology from the dimensions of technical innovation and non-obviousness

This report became key evidence in court, effectively refuting the opposing party's "defense of prior art" and laying a technical foundation for the final victory in the lawsuit.

2.1 Million Yuan Compensation + Total Destruction of Infringing Products

After five months of arduous litigation, the court finally made a fair judgment:

• Cease Infringement: Order the infringing party to immediately stop the production and sale of infringing products
• Destroy Inventory: All inventory infringing products must be completely destroyed under the supervision of the court
• Compensate for Losses: Award 2.1 million yuan in compensation for the enterprise's economic losses
• Bear Litigation Costs: The infringing party shall bear all litigation costs of this case

This judgment not only made the infringing party pay a heavy price, but also sent a clear signal to the entire industry that "technology shall not be infringed".

5 Peripheral Patents + 28 Non-Compete Agreements

During the handling of the case, our firm did not stop at winning the lawsuit. The team simultaneously planned for the enterprise's long-term development and constructed a long-term mechanism for technical protection at the institutional level:

Optimization of Patent Layout

Based on the core technology, we expanded and applied for 5 peripheral patents:

• Application Scenario Patents: Extend the technology to different application scenarios
• Process Method Patents: Protect core production processes and methods
• Structural Improvement Patents: Apply for improved patents around the core structure

The 5 peripheral patents and the core patent form a "patent portfolio", building a multi-level patent protection network that makes it difficult for infringers to bypass.
