GE, IKEA defeated UC in patent infringement case
GE、宜家在专利侵权案中成功驳回加州大学的指控
On May 16, a group of companies including General Electric Co, Ikea Supply AG and Home Depot Inc defeated a request by the University of California for a U.S. appeals court to block imports of light bulbs that allegedly infringe its patents. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed that the companies' light bulbs did not include a key element of the university's patented technology. The university lodged the ITC complaint in 2020, in which the school accused the companies of violating its patent rights in "filament" LED light bulbs, which use less energy and last longer than traditional light bulbs. It also filed related patent infringement lawsuits in federal court in 2019 against the companies and others including Amazon, Walmart and Target.

Hangzhou Longfun Internet Technology Co., Ltd. v. Beijing iQIYI Science & Technology Co., Ltd.
iQIYI is the operator of vip.iqiyi.com and the iQIYI App. Users who have paid the appropriate consideration to become iQIYI VIP members are able to enjoy different membership privileges such as skipping ads and watching VIP videos. However, the use rights obtained by a member cannot be transferred, lent, rented, sold or shared to others. iQIYI found that Longfun and Longene had illegally rented out iQIYI VIP accounts based on time slots in the "Play Now" app ("App involved") through technical means, so that their users could obtain iQIYI VIP video services without paying iQIYI. iQIYI believed that the acts involved in this case conducted by Longfun and Longene had, on the one hand, diverted traffic by attracting users to watch videos, causing a decrease in the download of the iQIYI App, and on the other hand, restricted some of the functions of the iQIYI App, leading to a decrease in user experience and damaging the legitimate rights and interests of iQIYI. Therefore, iQIYI appealed to the Beijing Haidian District People's Court, demanding Longfun and Longene to eliminate the impact and jointly and severally compensate the economic losses and reasonable expenses which totaled RMB 3 million.
爱奇艺公司是“爱奇艺网”和“爱奇艺”App的经营者，用户支付相应对价成为爱奇艺VIP会员后，能够享受跳过广告和观看VIP视频等会员特权，但会员所获得的使用权不得转让、出借、出租、售卖或分享给他人使用。爱奇艺公司发现龙魂公司、龙境公司在“马上玩”App（简称涉案App）中，通过技术手段将爱奇艺VIP帐号非法分时出租，使其用户无需向爱奇艺公司付费即可获得爱奇艺VIP视频服务。爱奇艺公司认为，龙魂公司、龙境公司所实施的涉案行为一方面通过吸引用户观看视频进行导流，造成爱奇艺App下载量降低，另一方面对爱奇艺App部分功能进行限制，导致用户体验下降，损害了其合法权益，故诉至北京市海淀区人民法院，要求龙魂公司、龙境公司消除影响，并连带赔偿其经济损失及合理开支共计300万元。
