According to foreign media reports, Jaguar Land Rover recently applied to the court of the United States International Trade Commission (USITC) to prohibit audi ag from importing a variety of off-road vehicles and SUVs to the United States. Jaguar Land Rover refused to accept it and filed a lawsuit in the local courts of Delaware and New Jersey, demanding compensation from Volkswagen Group.
Mainly because "these companies have incorporated the technology developed by Jaguar Land Rover without any permission from Jaguar Land Rover and are protected by its patents." The "technology" mentioned here refers to the "terrain" first used by Jaguar Land Rover in 2004. Response all-terrain feedback adaptive system "has evolved to the second generation.
Simply put, the "All Terrain Feedback Adaptive System" can select the corresponding driving mode with one click according to different terrain and road conditions, with the starting point of making off-road easier. Including track, ECO, comfort, grass/gravel/snow, mud, sand, rock crawling, wading and other modes.
Jaguar Land Rover believes that Volkswagen Group's off-road vehicles and SUV models have muddy and sandy driving modes similar to Jaguar Land Rover, so it sued Volkswagen Group in the US court.
Jaguar Land Rover sued almost all products sold by Volkswagen Group in the United States with certain off-road capability, including Audi Q5, Q7, Q8 and A6? Allroad, e-tron, Volkswagen Tiguan, Lamborghini Urus, Porsche Cayenne, etc.
In fact, Jaguar Land Rover reported the alleged infringement to Volkswagen Group for the first time as early as 20 18, but the other party turned a deaf ear. Jaguar Land Rover said it couldn't stand it, and there was this huge lawsuit.
As we all know, many off-road vehicles, SUVs, pickups and even cross-border vehicles sold around the world have the function of "one-button switching driving mode" similar to Jaguar Land Rover's patent, but Jaguar Land Rover chose Volkswagen Group, and no other brands except Volkswagen received the corresponding lawyer's letter.
Is Jaguar Land Rover going to give the public a "bottom-up salary" in the American market? In fact, the above models do not have much competition with Jaguar Land Rover. Moreover, Volkswagen brand imported cars do not have a large market share in the United States. Jaguar Land Rover is nothing more than a gesture, a gesture of safeguarding rights.
At the same time, some netizens commented that Jaguar Land Rover was suspected of displaying patents. After all, it is too common to switch driving modes with one button. Jaguar Land Rover keeps an eye on Volkswagen in the American market. Do you want more attention? However, this wave of lawsuits is unlikely to cause controversy and arouse the general concern of consumers.
People who eat melons love to watch immortals fight. As a result, 10 came out after a month, which has long been forgotten by the masses. I'm afraid it's hard to predict whether the lawsuit will be brewing and attract continuous attention. At the critical moment, representatives of Jaguar Land Rover and Volkswagen USA declined to comment on the ongoing lawsuit, Lamborghini declined to comment, and Audi did not formally respond.
Compare with another recent war between China and foreign countries, in which the attention in the circle is extremely high. He drove from Xiao Peng to "someone in the west" (implying Musk) and would be beaten by us. The move of Top-stream stars brought out the old and new feud between Tucki and Tesla, pushed the topic of two new forces and lidar autopilot to a climax, and pushed the share price of Xpeng Motors to soar for three consecutive days, and its market value jumped to more than 50 billion dollars.
This should be the highest state of tearing. No comparison, no harm. I feel that the migrant workers of traditional car companies have been beaten ten thousand times in their hearts.
