Many merchants selling wire scrapers in Henan are accused of infringement claims. What's going on here? Recently, many vendors and businesses in Henan were sued for selling steel wire scrapers. The reason is that the patent right of the wire scraper was registered by a man named Wei Peng. Therefore, in the legal sense, Wei Peng can sue these manufacturers through legal means and demand them to pay patent compensation. However, many manufacturers said they didn't know that selling scratch music required patent authorization. So I don't think it should be compensated.
I don't think it should be compensated, because these vendors don't know that wire scrapers need patent authorization to sell. Moreover, the scraper is not a new product. I have never heard that it can be patented before, so I think Wei Peng's approach is wrong. Obviously, he just wanted to take this opportunity to blackmail these vendors.
In recent years, many associations and individuals have sued some businesses in the name of safeguarding rights, demanding high patent damages. I think the current patent protection law needs to be improved. It is hoped that local governments will seriously investigate and deal with such patent protection cases. We should not only protect the interests of patentees, but also protect the interests of these shops and vendors, and do not let patent protection become a tool for some people to make money.
My personal opinion is that if the court can't solve this matter, then I think these vendors can let reporters come and expose it. Because the law is for the people and justice is for the people. If someone makes use of the loopholes in the law to do something to collect money, under the pressure of the media and public opinion, they will certainly be punished accordingly. Just like the dog biting incident in Anyang before. If the local government can't handle this problem well, then we can expose the incident through the media. Only by giving enough pressure can things be further solved.
