Recently, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court issued a civil judgment in the case where Denka Co., Ltd. of Japan sued a certain biotechnology company in Chongqing and a certain medical technology company in Beijing for infringement of an invention patent. The court found that both defendants had committed acts of infringement and ordered them to cease manufacturing, selling, and offering for sale the infringing products. In addition, the court ordered the defendant, the certain biotechnology company in Chongqing, to pay Denka Co., Ltd. compensation totaling RMB 3.5 million for economic losses and reasonable expenses incurred in protecting its rights.

Previously, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court had issued a civil judgment in another case in which Denka Co., Ltd. of Japan sued a certain bioengineering company (Beijing) and a certain health consulting services company in Shandong for infringement of an invention patent. The court found that both defendants — the bioengineering company (Beijing) and the health consulting services company in Shandong — had committed acts of infringement and should bear tort liability toward Denka Co., Ltd.

Beijing Caihe Law Firm was entrusted by Denka Co., Ltd. to act as the plaintiff’s litigation representative in both of the above cases.
