香港——在中國，相對於不著名的公司模擬名牌計劃臨盆的便宜智妙手機到處可見。
一般為大品牌窮究小公司侵占專利的義務。但比來，中國一家低價電話臨盆商在北京對蘋果(Apple)提起專利申述——今朝臨時獲得了成功。
因為接下來將進入訴訟法式，這項判決不太大概給蘋果帶來大的影響。但這起案件突顯出在和更大的國際品牌的反抗中，本土公司獲得中國處所專利局支撐的案例愈來愈多。
北京市常識產權局宣布的一則公告稱，蘋果侵占了中國電話臨盆商佰利臨盆的100C電話應用的一項計劃專利。公告命令蘋果在北京停售iPhone的某些較老的型號，不外在中國，這種判決被告上法庭後平日會先停滯發賣禁令。
蘋果稱已提告狀訟。周五薄暮，北京市三裏屯蘋果店的一位發賣職員稱該店未收到停售相幹iPhone產物的指導，表現“照舊業務”。店內，幾部iPhone 6根本上都閑置著，客人在感受閣下一張桌子上的新款iPhone 6s。
“IPhone 6和iPhone 6 Plus，和iPhone 6s、iPhone 6s Plus和iPhone SE本日在華均有售，”蘋果在一則聲明中稱。“咱們對北京一個地域性專利機構上月宣布的行政敕令提起了訴訟，是以該敕令還需接收北京常識產權法院的檢察。”
在這件使人頭疼的工作產生以前，蘋果在中國面對的羈系壓力和題目正在加重。前不久，一家中國公司博得了應用iPhone牌號發賣皮具成品的權力。在這以前，兩邊的司法膠葛連續了數年。蘋果的片子和圖書辦事也在引入後不久被封閉。這個跡象註解，中國媒體羈系機構的檢察變得加倍嚴格。
和那些題目比擬，佰利專利案眇乎小哉，但它突顯了在中國謀劃一家科技企業大概會一再碰到的貧苦。
在中國，低端臨盆商挑釁國際品牌的案件相稱多。在個中一路大概最為人所知的案件中，蘋果為應用iPad牌號付出了6000萬美元。
像蘋果和佰利之間的這類專利題目異常廣泛。比來揭櫫在《範德堡大學文娛科技法期刊》(Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law)上的一篇論文對此舉行了研討。只管文章以為中國專利軌制並不是朝向有益於中國公司的偏向舉行構建，但它表現比來“相對於不著名的中國公司對蘋果、三星(Samsung)和戴爾(Dell)等有名外國科技公司提起了大批廣受存眷的專利訴訟”。
在中國，被處所性的常識產權局認定侵權後，公司可決議是不是申述。假如申述，每每會將題目訴至法院或是殺青某種息爭。
【檢察譯文】
HONG KONG — In China, cheap smartphones made by relatively obscure companies aping branded designs are ubiquitous.
Usually it is the major brands that go after the smaller companies for patent infringement. But one of China’s low-cost phone makers recently filed a patent complaint against Apple in the city of Beijing — and for now, it has won.
With an appeals process ahead, the ruling is unlikely to have a major impact on Apple. Still, the action spotlights the growing number of cases of municipal patent offices in China backing local companies against larger, international brands.
According to a statement from the Beijing Intellectual Property Office, Apple infringed on a design patent used in a phone called the 100C, made by the Chinese phone maker Baili. The statement ordered Apple to stop selling certain older versions of the iPhone within Beijing, though an appeal of such a ruling to the courts in China usually forestalls any sales injunctions.
Apple said it had appealed, and a sales clerk at the Apple Store in the Sanlitun area of Beijing said on Friday evening that the store had received no instructions to stop selling the iPhone models and that “it is business as usual.” At the store, a handful of iPhone 6 models stood mostly unused as shoppers tapped on the newer 6s models at a nearby table.
“IPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, as well as iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus and iPhone SE models, are all available for sale today in China,” Apple said in a statement. “We appealed an administrative order from a regional patent tribunal in Beijing last month, and as a result the order has been stayed pending review by the Beijing I.P. Court.”
The new headache for Apple comes after increased regulatory pressure and problems in China. Recently, a Chinese company won the right to sell leather goods under the iPhone trademark after years of legal back and forth. And Apple’s movie and book services were shut down in the country shortly after they were introduced, a sign of more serious scrutiny from China’s media regulator.
The Baili patent case pales in comparison to those troubles, though it underscores the day-to-day annoyances that can come with running a tech business in China.
The country has had its fair share of cases in which low-level manufacturers take on global brands. In perhaps the most famous, Apple paid $60 million to use the iPad trademark.
Patent issues like the one Apple has with Baili are common enough that a recent paper in the Vanderbilt Journal of Entertainment & Technology Law examined the topic. While the paper found that China’s patent system was not structured to benefit Chinese companies, it said there had been a number of recent “high-profile patent suits filed by relatively unknown Chinese firms against high-profile foreign tech companies like Apple, Samsung and Dell.”
Once a local intellectual property office in China finds an issue of infringement, companies can decide whether to appeal the matter. At that point, the issue typically is litigated or resolved via a settlement of some kind.
