First of all, let me popularize knowledge. Patent rights are actually an intangible asset. Although it cannot be seen or touched, its value is better than tangible assets. It can be said to be priceless. For a company In other words, patent rights have a very good protective effect and can protect the interests of enterprises from being infringed. In other words, patent rights are the lifeblood of new technologies that enable an enterprise to develop well and continue.
1. Transsion was sued just because of a wallpaper?
Yes, Transsion was sued by Huawei because of a wallpaper. This wallpaper is not an ordinary wallpaper, but a copyrighted wallpaper. It is protected by national law and does not go through the author's approval. Allowed, but cannot be used.
Transsion and Huawei are peers, and they should also know the particularity of patent rights, but why do they still use Huawei wallpapers? Transsion Holdings received the complaint on September 29, the day before its listing. The amount involved is 20 million yuan. The case has been filed and has not yet been heard in court.
A wallpaper? If the lawsuit is won, Transsion will have to compensate Huawei 20 million yuan for infringement. This is really amazing. It shows how important patent rights are. Whoever infringes will be unlucky. He will lose his wife and lose his troops. The money will be gone and his reputation will be lost. Gone again.
So how charming is this wallpaper that makes Transsion want to use it? In fact, this is the "Pearl Aurora Pearl Theme Wallpaper" art work. Transsion has made the "Pearl Aurora Pearl Theme Wallpaper" art work only After simply adjusting the color purity, it continued to be used in the HiOS4.1 and HiOS5.0 system preset wallpapers developed by the defendant, and then also used the wallpaper in press conferences, web page displays, advertisements and other promotions.
It can be seen that Transsion is stealing Huawei's wallpapers and infringing Huawei's signature rights. Such behavior through modification rights and other personal rights will be punished by law.
2. In order to protect its patent rights, Huawei sued Transsion
Since this Pearl Aurora theme wallpaper belongs to Huawei, Transsion has violated its sovereignty, and Huawei cannot tolerate this behavior of Transsion In order to protect its patent rights, it is reasonable for Huawei to sue Transsion. Transsion should be disclosed and compensated in accordance with the court's final judgment. In addition, it should also issue a public apology.
At present, the case has been filed and has not yet been heard in court. I will continue to pay attention to it. Incidents of patent infringement like these are relatively common, but I think it is rare to sue for a piece of wallpaper. Transsion also So strange.
This shows how important patent rights are to a company. I once again suggest that you protect the patent rights if they belong to you, and do not infringe on them if they belong to others. Follow the rules and laws, and do things in a down-to-earth manner.
