Victor Textile Fabric Industry Suffered Patent Crisis?

Nearly 10 billion yuan market share may not be guaranteed, and about 300 thousand industrial workers are facing unemployment - more than 200 textile fabrics enterprises in Changshu, Jiangsu, are facing an unprecedented "patent crisis".

This crisis, which is likely to hit Changshu and even the whole country's textile related enterprises, is a piece of paper.

    維科“維權”  

In October 8th, the Ningbo Viking Holding Group Limited company in Zhejiang (hereinafter referred to as "Vike Holdings") filed a civil lawsuit against the intermediate people's Court of Suzhou, Jiangsu, and sued the Changshu pigeon ball printing and dyeing Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "pigeon ball printing and dyeing"). "Without the permission of VICCO holdings, the company made a large amount of production and sale of coral velvet blankets containing or equivalent to the patent technology characteristics, and obtained huge illegal profits, which had hit the market share of Vico Holdings".

Mr. Zhou, director of the textile board of VICCO group, introduced in an interview at the first time that Vic failed to negotiate after the discovery of a pigeon ball infringement this year, and decided to sue. He demanded that "pigeon ball printing and dyeing immediately cease production and sale. The patent number of the plaintiff is ZL200510050367.5 invention patent product. In the open apology, the plaintiff will compensate the plaintiff for economic losses of 5 million yuan."

Mr. Zhou explained that since 2000, Victor has invested heavily in developing polyester microfiber fiber blankets, and has successfully developed a series of polyester blankets made of 150D/288f (0.52D) polyester porous low elastic network yarn.

    鴿球“反訴”  

As the prosecution, Shen Feng, general manager of Changshu pigeon printing and dyeing Co., Ltd., general manager of printing and dyeing company, said in an exclusive interview with reporters: "the prosecution is drilling the patent office."

Shen Feng explained to reporters that the history of polyester super fine coral velvet blankets is a well-known fact in the industry. The products of polyester superfine coral velvet blankets under the specifications of 167 dtex/288f polyester low elastic net silk veil were widely manufactured and sold in the domestic textile industry enterprises (including VICCO holding group Limited by Share Ltd) around the year 2001. The Vico holding group Limited by Share Ltd has applied for patent in the industry's regular products, and has launched extensive litigation in the industry, which is a malicious competition behavior, which has extremely disturbed the fair competition order in the industry.

Shen Feng believes that 0.58dtex (0.52D) or the following polyester or nylon composite yarns below the specification have been developed since 2000, and their uses mainly include blankets and veils. Naturally, industry enterprises can use this new product raw material. Limited by Share Ltd, the victor holding group, uses patent material as the product of the existing routine veil in this industry as a product for patent application and litigation. In essence, it is an abuse of patent rights.

Shen Feng also said that after receiving the lawsuit, the pigeon ball company immediately contacted the University of Jiangmen, a product authority Research Institute, which denied the patent technology.

Shen Feng disclosed that pigeon printing and dyeing will go to Beijing to counterclaim in early November.

    常熟“告急”    

Although Vic only prosecuted a pigeon ball company, the entire Changshu textile industry was worried because the patent technology used in Vic's complaint was not a pigeon ball. In fact, many enterprises in Changshu were using it.

"Once the case is formed, it will cause a great blow to more than 200 textile and garment weaving enterprises in Changshu, and nearly 300 thousand industrial workers are facing unemployment, and the market share of nearly 10 billion yuan will be handed over to the company, even to the industry of Sheng Hong group, Hengli Chemical Fiber and Wuyang textile machinery."

In view of this serious consequence, in October 29th, representatives of Changshu's fabric and weaving enterprises gathered in the Yushan Town People's government to discuss the countermeasures.

Zou Jie, director of the economic and government office of the people's Government of Yushan Town of Changshou City, and President of the Yushan Town chamber of Commerce in Changshou City, are very worried about Victor's lawsuit.

"One Changshu company has lost the lawsuit."

Zou Jie said: "in the internal and external markets are sluggish, the industry is facing script src=>
