Alibaba dropshipping and selling on Taobao. Now I have received a court complaint saying that my design patent has been infringed.

Article 70 of the "Patent Law" stipulates: For production and business purposes, using, offering for sale, or selling a patent-infringing product that is not known to be manufactured and sold without the permission of the patentee must be able to prove that the product If it comes from legal sources, we will not be liable for compensation.

As long as the legal source of the allegedly infringing product can be proven, we will not be liable for compensation. You can prepare evidence from the following aspects:

1. The name of the Alibaba merchant that supplies the goods needs to be clear;

2. The other party must have purchased from your Taobao link when suing you. For products, you need to find the corresponding order and confirm that the order you placed from Alibaba (including order number, purchased product, payment information, logistics information) is consistent with the order purchased by the other party;

3. Immediately remove links to suspected infringing products from the shelves.
