ماذا تفعل إذا تم انتهاك براءة اختراع القفل الخاص بك? See how MAKE takes legal action to defend its innovative achievements.
Case Summary
In October 2025, Xiamen MAKE Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as MAKE) sued Ningbo XX Lock Industry Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Ningbo XX) and Cixi XX Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Cixi XX) for patent infringement.
The reason was that a password lock produced and sold by Ningbo XX seriously infringed on a utility model patent owned by MAKE. Given that Cixi XX and Ningbo XX share a single shareholder and may be jointly liable, MAKE legally requested compensation for economic losses from both companies.
Case Analysis
On February 5, 2015, MAKE applied to the State Intellectual Property Office for a utility model patent titled “A Password Lock Structure That Allows for Easy Password Recovery,” which was granted on September 2, 2015, برقم البراءة ZL201520081730.9.
هذا المنتج المحمي ببراءة الاختراع هو MK708. عندما ينسى المستخدم كلمة المرور, يمكنه استرجاعها باستخدام مفتاح رئيسي. هذا أبسط وأكثر ملاءمة من الطريقة التقليدية “سبر الاختبارات + المفتاح الرئيسي” طريقة استرجاع كلمة المرور.
العملية المحددة هي:
أدخل المفتاح الرئيسي في الوضعية وافتح القفل.
قم بتدوير الأقراص من الأعلى إلى الأسفل حتى لا يمكن تحريكها.
اعثر على الرموز المنسية بنجاح.
راجع القضاء وقرر أن MAKE تحمل هذه البراءة قانونيًا, وحقوق البراءة قانونية وصحيحة ويجب حمايتها وفق القانون. الحل التقني المستخدم في قفل كلمة المرور لشركة Ningbo XX يقع ضمن نطاق الحماية لبراءة نموذج المنفعة الخاصة بـ MAKE. علاوة على ذلك, في ديسمبر 2024, دون إذن MAKE, قامت Ningbo XX بتصنيع, بيع, and offered to sell the infringing product within the protection scope of MAKE patent rights, constituting patent infringement under patent law.
Therefore, MAKE is entitled to civil compensation.
Case Outcome
Ningbo XX should bear civil liability for infringing on MAKE patent rights. Cixi XX failed to provide evidence to prove that its assets are independent of Ningbo XX’s assets and must bear joint and several liability.
According to the court ruling [Note: Civil Judgment No. (2025) Zhe02 Minchu 1593], Ningbo XX Tong and Cixi XX Tong were ordered to compensate MAKE tens of thousands of yuan for economic losses.
Recently, the full amount of the compensation has been received, and MAKE legitimate rights and interests have been effectively protected.
