2. Who knows the examples about intellectual property rights?
Chen Shoufu was sentenced to 3 years' imprisonment in the first instance of Coral QQ infringement case.
The case of Coral QQ infringement, which has attracted much attention, came to a conclusion: On the 20th, Shenzhen Nanshan District Court made a first-instance judgment: Coral QQ software producer Chen Shoufu was convicted of copyright infringement, sentenced to three years' imprisonment, fined RMB 6,543,800+0.2 million, and recovered his illegal income of RMB 6,543,800+0,728 million.
The court found through trial that from 2005 to 2007, the defendant Chen Shoufu made Coral QQ software package for profit without the permission of Tencent, which contained more than 95% files of Tencent QQ software and had the same substantive functions as Tencent QQ software. At the same time, the defendant Chen Shoufu put Coral QQ software on the Internet for others to download, which constituted a copy and distribution of Tencent QQ software. On this basis, Chen Shoufu made a profit of 1 172800 yuan, and the illegal income was huge, which constituted a crime of copyright infringement. The facts of the crime accused by the public prosecution agency are clear, the evidence is true and sufficient, and the crime is established. Defendant Chen Shoufu pleaded guilty in court.
Due to insufficient evidence, the court rejected the defense opinion of innocence put forward by the defender. The court finally convicted the defendant Chen Shoufu of copyright infringement, sentenced him to 3 years in prison and fined him 6,543,800 yuan. Defendant Chen Shoufu's illegal income totaled1172,800 yuan to be recovered.
Tencent said that Tencent respects the court's decision. Intellectual property protection is very important to the growing Internet industry in China, and the legitimate rights and interests of users and enterprises should be protected by law. Zhu, a professor at Shenzhen University Law School, said that the trial result of Coral QQ case will become a benchmark for intellectual property protection in the Internet industry.
This case is typical! !
3. Did Tencent infringe the patent of unilon in the United States?
not have
2065438+In June 2006, ZTE, Huawei and WeChat were sued by American companies. What happened was this: Uniloc sued Tencent America in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, on the grounds that the voice group chat and video group chat functions of WeChat infringed their patents and demanded that WeChat immediately suspend these functions! Tencent responded: The indictment has not been received.
Uniloc, known as the "patent hooligan" in the industry, is engaged in patent licensing affairs. The company itself does not manufacture patented products, and by purchasing patent licenses, it issues patent lawsuits to other large companies to obtain high profits.
The concept of applying for a patent in the United States is very vague, which makes such companies take advantage of it. For example, if someone develops a software, Uniloc will not sue the developer. Uniloc claimed to have a patent to use this software and sued other rich people who used this software.
It is reported that Uniloc sued large enterprises in the federal district court in eastern Texas because the judges of this court specifically filed a lawsuit for Uniloc.
Uniloc takes advantage of legal loopholes, so large companies should do their homework when developing and publishing software.
