Why is it called "patent cockroach"? Because in many judicial cases, most of the "patent cockroaches" are not defending the copyright of the brand, but reaching a settlement with the sued enterprise and charging the other party a "settlement fee", which also proves that the "patent cockroaches" only respect the law and sue for profit.
At the end of 20 19, China Intellectual Property News published an article "Let patent cockroaches have nowhere to hide", which was also forwarded by People's Daily. It is mentioned in the article that many enterprises will take the initiative to pay the relevant fees after receiving the warning letter, thinking that they are infringing or because they don't want to pay more litigation fees, thus falling into the patent cockroach trap. This can't help but remind me of what the media have done: secretly buying authorization, warning, sending a lawsuit letter and demanding high settlement fees. Once an enterprise falls into a trap, it will be squeezed out one after another until it feels unprofitable.
Nowadays, cracking down on "patent cockroaches" has become a global thing. Many countries have taken measures to combat it by improving laws and regulations and patent relief system. The copyright incident in vision china in our country is a typical case of killing cockroaches. However, in order to avoid their wanton nuisance, the article in China Intellectual Property News also gives some suggestions. For example, in the face of the phenomenon of "patent cockroach", enterprises should not only constantly improve the laws and regulations at the national level, but also constantly improve their own intellectual property protection level, such as making good use of patent search tools, improving internal management systems, developing patent defense funds, etc., in order to resist the attack of "patent cockroach".
