Small I robot sued Apple Siri for infringement. How will Apple handle this matter?

In the early years, there were reports that the small I robot sued Apple Siri for infringement. Recently, this patent infringement case has been further developed. When xiaoyi robot just sued apple, most netizens on the internet thought that xiaoyi robot was hyped through Siri and that xiaoyi initiated the lawsuit to defraud apple's money.

However, Hui Yuan, the founder of Xiaoyi Robot, said that the application scale and service cycle of Xiaoyi Robot are world-leading, and it is not a plagiarist at all. The patent of xiaoyi robot was applied in 2004 and authorized in 2009. Siri was founded in 2007 and was acquired by Apple for $200 million in 20 10. At first, it was a text chat, and it was not until it cooperated with the world's largest speech recognition manufacturer that Siri really had the function of speech recognition. Apple's first official mobile phone using Siri was the iphone4S, which was launched on 20 10 and 10.

After eight years of complaints, recently, Xiaoyi obtained an administrative ruling, and the Siri technical scheme also fell into the protection scope of Xiaoyi robot patent claim. Although Xiao I received the administrative ruling, it does not mean that Xiao I robot won the lawsuit, because at present, it can only prove that the patent of Xiao I robot is valid.

Shanghai Zhizhen Intelligent Network Technology Co., Ltd. also formally filed a lawsuit in Shanghai Higher People's Court, demanding that Apple stop Siri patent infringement, demanding that Apple stop manufacturing and using products that infringe invention patents, and temporarily claiming the amount of 654.38+000 billion yuan, but up to now, Apple has not made any response to this matter. As the most concerned Apple, we often encounter this patent infringement problem. Hui Yuan said: They respect Apple very much and hope that Apple will respect innovation. Because they use patents, they need to pay reasonable fees.
