What are the reasons for patent malicious complaints?

First, due to technical reasons, it is difficult to judge patent infringement. The information in the network environment is mainly pictures and words, and it is difficult to judge whether there is infringement only by pictures or words. As a provider of online trading platform, it is difficult to identify the facts of patent infringement in the face of a large number of patent infringement complaints, and the identification of malicious complaints also has corresponding technical difficulties.

Second, because utility model patents and design patents can be authorized without substantive examination, it also gives some people the space to intentionally obtain the same or similar appearance or utility model patents, maliciously complain about competitors' infringement, and interfere with the normal business activities of the respondent. Many enterprises exploit the loopholes of the legal system, apply for patents for some products that have been publicly sold, and then maliciously attack competitors.

Third, a group of active "patent hooligans" pursue profits by hoarding patents and claiming rights. They can make large-scale, fast and low-cost complaints through platform channels, realize extortion and negotiate with many businesses. The specific situation still needs to be consulted by professional institutions, and listening and technology can be handled on their behalf.
