[智能之心]苹果在华赢得iPhone 6专利战

       北京知识产权法院近期做出裁决，支持在一起专利纠纷案件中，支持了苹果公司。随后苹果公司改变了其停止在华销售iPhone 6和6 Plus手机的决定，此前苹果曾做出这一威胁。

      中国企业BAILI2016年诉求称，苹果公司侵犯了其100C智能手机设计，向官方申请禁令。中国专利监管机构同意了BAILI的申请，并禁止苹果和本地经销商Zoomflight的销售。北京知识产权法院近期推翻了这项禁令，认为专利机构的监管行为没有按照正当程序进行。在庭审和上诉期间，苹果手机被允许继续销售。北京知识产权法院表示，专利机构没有提供足够证据，证明BAILI的专利设计受到侵犯，人们可以很容易地区分100c和苹果机型，明确否认苹果的应用剥夺了BAILI的专利权。

      由于华为、小米、Oppo、Vivo等新兴企业的强劲竞争，中国苹果手机的销量最近受到压力。 去年，大中华地区（大陆、台湾、香港）的苹果销售额下降了33％。北京知识产权局和BAILI表示，他们正在考虑是否对法庭裁决提出上诉。

       A ban that threatened to stop the sale of iPhone 6 and 6 Plus phones in China has been overturned after a court ruled in favour of Apple in a patent dispute.Chinese firm Baili sought a ban last year saying the iPhone infringed on the design of its 100C smartphone.China's patent regulator agreed with Baili and imposed the ban on Apple and local reseller Zoomflight.The Chinese court that overturned the ban said the regulator did not follow proper procedure when it was imposed.

      Sales of the Apple phones were allowed to continue while the court case and appeal were being heard.The Beijing Intellectual Property Court said the patent body had not given enough evidence to prove that a patented design was being violated. The court said the iPhone 6 models did not infringe on the design and patents owned by Baili as people could easily distinguish between the 100c and the Apple models.It did deny Apple's application to have Baili stripped of the patent at the centre of the case.Sales of Apple phones in China have come under pressure recently thanks to strong local competition from Huawei, Xiaomi and newer firms such as Oppo and Vivo. Last year, Apple sales in Greater China, which covers China, Hong Kong and Taiwan, were down 33%.Beijing's Intellectual Property Office and Baili said they were considering whether to appeal against the court's decision.
