USPTO wants feedback on how to curb counterfeit goods
美专局就如何遏制假冒商品征求公众意见
U.S. patent officials are looking into ways to stop the increasing number of pirated and counterfeited products from entering the U.S. market, saying such products raise a national health and security risk. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office(USPTO) said it wants input on how to deal with piracy and counterfeiting in the intellectual property field, according to a notice published in the Federal Register on Thursday. The USPTO said border officials took in thousands of seizures in 2021 worth billions of dollars that were counterfeit or pirated. Those 27,000 seizures by customs officials marked a massive 152% increase compared to a year earlier, the USPTO said. The USPTO pointed out areas that have been negatively impacted by the bad products, like in the digital video and health care world. Additionally, the USPTO said on its website it will hold a meeting in early October to get input on how to combat piracy and counterfeiting.

Alibaba hit with 50M yuan for infringing NetEase’s copyright
判赔5000万元，阿里游戏侵权网易游戏
The Guangzhou Internet Court has ordered an Alibaba Group unit that developed the hit mobile game "Three Kingdoms Tactics" to pay NetEase Inc 50 million yuan ($7.2 million) in compensation over copyright infringement, according to a statement from NetEase. Ejoy, the Alibaba subsidiary behind the hugely popular strategy game, said on microblogging site Weibo that it would appeal the decision of the Guangzhou Internet Court, and that the game will continue to operate. It is reported that "Three Kingdoms Tactics" is Alibaba's most profitable game, earning more than $1.97 billion from player spending since launching in 2019. The fine, if upheld through the appeal, would be one of the heftiest issued by a court in China involving video games.
据网易的一份声明称，广州互联网法院近日裁决，热门手机游戏《三国志·战略版》开发商阿里巴巴旗下灵犀互娱公司侵犯了网易的著作权，需向网易赔偿5000万元(约合720 万美元)。灵犀互娱在微博上表示，将对广州互联网法院的决定提出上诉，《三国志·战略版》将继续运营。据悉，《三国志·战略版》是阿里最赚钱的游戏，自2019年推出以来，已经获利超19.7亿美元。如果上诉法院维持原判，这将是中国法院做出的涉及电子游戏的最高罚款裁决之一。

ITC to investigate Ouster's infringement complaint against Hesai
ITC接受Ouster对禾赛的侵权诉讼，将发起337调查
Ouster confirmed last Thursday that the U.S. International Trade Commission(ITC) has voted to institute an investigation into the unfair trade practices of Hesai Group based in Shanghai, China, and related entities. The unfair trade practices to be investigated by the ITC are related to the importation of Hesai lidar sensors that are alleged to infringe on five valid and enforceable patents owned by Ouster relating to lidar technology. The investigation is a direct result of the complaint filed by Ouster on April 11 of this year. The company's complaint requests that the ITC issue a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order against Hesai and related entities to bar the importation into the United States of Hesai's lidar devices, components, and products that are alleged to infringe Ouster's patents.
美国激光雷达公司Ouster上周四证实，美国国际贸易委员会（ITC）已投票决定对总部位于中国上海的禾赛集团及相关实体的不公平贸易行为展开调查。ITC将调查的不公平贸易行为与进口禾赛激光雷达传感器有关。据称，这些传感器侵犯了Ouster持有的与激光雷达技术有关的五项有效专利。今年4月11日，Ouster提起诉讼，要求ITC对禾赛和相关实体发出有限排除令和禁止令，禁止向美国进口据称侵犯了禾赛专利的激光雷达设备、部件和产品。

Seoul Semiconductor obtains permanent injunction against various LED products for patent infringement in Europe
首尔半导体在欧洲获得针对LED侵权产品的永久禁令
Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd., a leading global innovator of LED products and technology, announced on May 16 that the Higher Regional Court in Düsseldorf, Germany, issued a final judgement confirming a permanent injunction for infringement of Seoul's patent against multiple LED companies' LEDs. Starting in June 2023, the Unitary Patents system will be implemented in Europe. Under this new system, patent infringement judgements from the Unified Patent Court will simultaneously take effect in 17 European countries, including Germany, France, and Italy. As a result, the deterrent effect of patent infringement judgements has significantly increased, contributing to establishing a culture that respects intellectual property rights.
全球领先的LED产品和技术创新公司首尔半导体于5月16日宣布，德国杜塞尔多夫的高等地区法院发布了最终判决，确认了首尔半导体获得对多家LED公司因侵犯其专利的永久禁令。6月1起，统一专利法院将在欧洲实施。在这一新制度下，统一专利法院的专利侵权判决将同时在包括德国、法国和意大利在内的17个欧洲国家生效。因此，专利侵权判决的威慑作用显著增强，有助于建立一种尊重知识产权的文化。

India plans action against Google after $275 million antitrust fine
继2.75亿美元反垄断罚款后，印度计划再次对谷歌采取行动
According to news on May 19, India's government plans to take action against Google after an antitrust watchdog last year found the group to have abused its market position by indulging in anti-competitive practices, an India IT minister said. India's antitrust body in October fined Google $275 million for abusing its dominant position in the Android operating system market and pushing developers to use its in-app payment system. The IT minister said that the ministry will take action in the coming weeks but declined to specify what sort of policy or regulatory action the government could take. It is reported that about 97% of India's 620 million smartphones run on Android, and the company counts India as a critical growth market.
5月19日消息，据印度一位高级IT部长表示，印度政府计划对谷歌再次采取行动。印度反垄断监管机构去年曾发现谷歌公司滥用其市场地位，长期从事不当竞争。印度反垄断机构去年10月份对谷歌处以2.75亿美元的罚款，因谷歌滥用其在安卓操作系统市场的主导地位，并强迫用户使用安卓应用内的支付系统。该部长表示，印度IT部将在未来几周采取行动，但并未具体说明将采取的政策或监管行动。据报道，谷歌将印度视为一个关键的增长市场，印度6.2亿部智能手机中约有97%使用安卓系统。

Shenzhen Laidian Technology Co., Ltd. v. Shanghai Zhixiang Technology Co., Ltd.
When an employee of a company releases information that infringes on the rights and interests of a competitor of the company through WeChat Moments, the information so released cannot be considered as having only personal socializing properties just because it is released in WeChat Moments. Instead, the audience of the employee's social media account, the specific content and beneficiary of the information, and whether it is related to the will of the company should be taken into integrated consideration to decide whether it has constituted an in-job conduct.
公司员工通过微信朋友圈发布侵害公司竞争对手权益的信息时，不能仅因该信息的发布场所为微信朋友圈而认为其仅具有个人社交属性，应综合该员工社交账号的受众、信息的具体内容、受益人、是否与单位意志相关等因素认定是否构成职务行为。
