The iPad trademark case reviewed the full taste of the firecrackers repeatedly reminded the tone

The iPad Trademark Case reviewed the smell of fire At 9:00 a.m. yesterday morning, in the First Court of the Guangdong Provincial Higher People's Court, Apple and Shenzhen Proview launched the final confrontation on the "IPAD trademark infringement case." This lawsuit also attracted media reporters from across the country and even the world.

For this last opportunity to appeal, the trial lasted up to six hours and the scene of debate between the two sides was full of gunpowder. Apple Corp. took out new evidences such as the e-mails and the signature letter of the Chairman of the Proview Group, and requested witnesses to appear in court to prove that Proview Shenzhen not only knew and agreed with the entire “IPAD” trademark, but Proview Shenzhen Co., Ltd. believed that Apple Inc. There are "defrauding" trademarks.

In the end, the court announced that it was sentenced on a daily basis. In response, Jin Yan, a lawyer of Guangdong Dongfang Jinyuan Law Firm, said that in the first instance verdict, Proview Shenzhen Company won the "IPAD" trademark certificate, but because of Apple's strong new evidence, the final judgment was suspicious. .

Proview was unprepared for new Apple evidence. During the trial yesterday, Apple Inc., as the appealing party, first issued a series of new evidence to the judge, including the previous exposure of Proview Shenzhen Co., Ltd. Yang Rongshan, chairman of the board, signed the "permissive" letter, as well as a series of e-mails between the investigation company staff and Proview's transfer of trademark rights.

For the new evidence of appeal, Proctor Shenzhen Co.'s attorney appeared to be somewhat underprepared and rushed to "not meet the lawsuit procedure" and refused to respond. In addition, Shenzhen Weiguan did not recognize the court’s courtroom testimony and judgment orders from Hong Kong courts because of its lack of legitimacy and relevance.

During the trial, Apple's attorney bluntly stated that in the transfer of the "IPAD" trademark rights, Apple began to talk with Shenzhen Weiguan, but because the company's financial status was not good, it eventually became a Taiwan Proview company to sign an agreement. The natural transfer fee was also awarded to Taiwan Proview.

In terms of Apple, Yang Rongshan is the person in charge of Proview Group, Taiwan Proview, and Shenzhen Proview, and its signing of "quasi-" means a full transfer of trademark rights.

In this regard, Proview expressed that during the entire "IPAD" trademark transfer case, Yang Rongshan only appeared in the power of attorney of Taipei and stamped Yang Rongshan's seal. However, Yang Rongshan cannot be considered for disposition because of Yang Rongshan's multiple identities. Multiple company properties.

Finally, Proview lawyers emphasized that Proview's registered trademark rights have never been shaken. Shenzhen Proview and Apple have no contractual contact with each other, and they have no way of establishing a contract, let alone the effectiveness of the contract.

In response, Apple’s attorney spoke of four words and frankly stated that due to the poor financial status of Shenzhen Weiguan, Shenzhen Weiguan Company could not get any money if it was traded, so the negotiation became an agreement between IP company and Taiwan Proview, and it was transferred. fee.

Shenzhen Weiguan said that the public information on the transfer of unsuspected publicity shows that in 2009, Apple purchased global trademark rights from Taiwan Proview in 35,000 pounds, and then iPad entered the Chinese market. Afterwards, Proview Shenzhen Co., Ltd. launched an attack against Apple Inc., claiming that the transfer of the trademark rights of the iPad in mainland China did not include the transfer agreement and caused litigation. It can thus be seen that the focus of debate between the two parties is whether Proview Shenzhen is aware of the transfer of global trademark rights by Taiwan Proview.

Yesterday, Apple produced an "IPAD" trademark distribution agreement for the distribution of mainland China. There were "Quasi" written by Yang Rongshan, the person in charge of Shenzhen Proview, and multiple copies of employees of British IP company and Proview Shenzhen company. In the email, Proctor Mai Shihong and Yuan Hui are the two main employees.

Apple believes that the transaction between Apple and the Champion Group was initially handled by British Proview, later by Shenzhen Proview, and finally by Proviewer. The participation of Shenzhen Proview was indispensable, and Mai Shihong It is not only the staff of Shenzhen Proview, but also the head of the legal department of the company and Taiwan Proview.

In response to this, Proview Shenzhen's attorney responded that the reason why Yuan Hui had contact with the British IP company regarding the transfer of trademark rights was "because his English is better," but all the things discussed were based on Taiwan's Proview. In nominal terms, the inscriptions and schedules of the e-mails are all of Taiwan Proview.

Judges repeatedly reminded both parties that the tone was in the court investigation stage. Apple Inc. described the behavior of Shenzhen Proview as "conspiratorial taste driven by financial interests." Apple said that before the Apple iPad was launched in 2009, the Proview Group had transferred the trademark for only 35,000 pounds, and the iPad had earned the brand value of today's value by relying on Apple's hard work.

For Apple's accusations, the agents of Shenzhen Proview Group appeared to be more excited in the afternoon's debate. The judges had to remind them several times to tone down and relax, and they must not be offensive.

In the final summary stage, Shenzhen Proview's speech was still full of emotions. He continued to use "surprise" to describe his own feelings. He also said that Apple's agent's argument was "proud." They pointed out that Apple Corps, while knowing that Taiwan Proview did not have the right to transfer two trademarks of Shenzhen Proview, still contributed to the contract and was “defrauding” the iPad Continental trademark.

It is worth mentioning that yesterday’s trial lasted more than six hours, so that the judge repeatedly reminded both sides of the debate “save time”, and when Apple and Proview Shenzhen’s attorneys debated “incessantly”, the judges were kind Remind observers to “stay a few more minutes”.

Proview is still optimistic about winning the case. Finally, the judge inquired whether the two parties' lawyers accepted the mediation, and the attorneys all indicated that they needed to consult the agents. The judge then announced the end of the trial on the day and the court would select the sentence.

For the final verdict, lawyer Jin Yan said that whether Apple's new evidence will be accepted by the High Court will determine the outcome of the verdict. However, since Apple has provided new evidence for more than the legal time, it is not known whether the High Court will accept the letter.

Xiaocai Yuan, the attorney of Proview Shenzhen Co., still seemed more optimistic. He told the Morning News reporter that reviewing the one-day trial, Apple did not come up with any convincing evidence. Therefore, it is difficult to obtain court support. Once the court maintains In the original judgment, the next step will be to focus the work on stopping infringement and seeking compensation.

[Offsite Highlights]

Before the trial, the first case of queuing up for “IPAD” trademark rights disputes had already surpassed the scope of the original IP dispute case. Apple iPad’s popularity has made it possible for both the legal industry, the media and consumers to give this case a case. Very high degree of attention.

At 8 o'clock in the morning yesterday, an hour away from the court, people waiting in front of the Gaoyuan High Court in Guangdong Province already lined up long lines. According to a queuing resident briefing, even some people started queuing at 5 a.m., and at least 8 meters of waiting queues outside the provincial High Court opened at 8 a.m. in the morning. It is reported that due to the limited space, only the top twenty people can get an affidavit.

In the inspection team, the Morning News reporter found that not only domestic intellectual property lawyers and well-known media reporters, and even the United States Consulate General in Guangzhou staff, and CCTV sent a live car parked at the gate of the court, while Shenzhen TV station also sent a live TV car.

Due to too many journalists in attendance, apart from the first court used in court trials, the Guangdong Provincial High Court specifically provided the second court and the fourth court as an auditorium. It is estimated that there will be 70 to 80 media attending the meeting.

After the close of the trial, the reporter swarmed around the lawyer at 5 pm and the court announced a closed session. At the entrance to the Gaoyuan High School in Guangdong Province, more than a dozen television media cameras lined up at the forefront, followed by many plane media reporters holding cameras, waiting to capture the agents from both sides of the court. .

Shenzhen Proview’s attorney Xiao Caiyuan just walked out the door and was immediately overwhelmed by the flood of reporters. With his footsteps forming a mobile crowd vortex, the court police had to remind people to pay attention to safety.

What is Car Ethernet
Car Ethernet is a new local area network technology that uses Ethernet to connect the electronic unit in the car. Unlike traditional Ethernet, which uses 4 unshielded twisted pair cables, car Ethernet can achieve a transmission rate of 100Mbit/s or even 1Gbit/s on a single pair of unshielded twisted pair cables. At the same time, it also meets the requirements of the automotive industry for high reliability, low electromagnetic radiation, low power consumption, bandwidth allocation, low latency and synchronous real-time. The physical layer of on-board Ethernet uses BroadRReach technology, and BroadR-Reach's physical layer (PHY) technology has been standardized by the One-pair Ethernet Alliance (OPEN). Therefore, it is sometimes called Broad RReach (BRR) or OABR (Open Alliance BroadR-Reach). The MAC layer of vehicle Ethernet adopts the IEEE 802.3 interface standard and seamlessly supports widely used high-level network protocols (such as TCP/IP) without any adaptation.

On-board Ethernet protocol architecture
Vehicle-borne Ethernet and its supported upper-layer protocol architecture are shown in Figure 1. Vehicle-borne Ethernet mainly involves OSI layer 1 and Layer 2 technologies, while vehicle-borne Ethernet also supports AVB, TCP/IP, DOIP, SOME/IP and other protocols or application forms.

On-board Ethernet framework
Among them, AVB is an extension of traditional Ethernet functions, which enhances the real-time performance of traditional Ethernet audio and video transmission by adding precise clock synchronization, bandwidth reservation and other protocols, and is a network audio and video real-time transmission technology with great development potential. SOME/IP (Scalable Service-Oriented MiddlewarE on IP) specifies the video communication interface requirements for vehicle camera applications, which can be applied to the field of vehicle cameras, and realizes the mode control of driver assistance cameras through apis.

As an extension of AVB protocol, Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN) introduces related technologies of time-triggered Ethernet, which can efficiently realize the transmission of automotive control information. In addition, the on-board Ethernet of the 1Gbit communication standard also supports Power Over Ethernet (POE) function and Energy-Efficient Ethernet (EEE) function. The POE function provides power for connected terminal devices while transmitting data through twisted pair cables, eliminating the need to connect external power cables to terminals and reducing the complexity of power supply.

On-board Ethernet standardization
In terms of in-vehicle Ethernet standardization, the IEEE802.3 and IEEE802.1 working groups, AUTOSAR, the OPEN Alliance and the AVnu Alliance have played a major role in promoting it.
The IEEE802.3 local area network standard represents the mainstream Ethernet standard in the industry, and the on-board Ethernet technology is developed on the basis of IEEE802.3, so the IEEE is currently the most important international standardization body for on-board Ethernet. In order to meet the requirements of the car, it involves the development of a number of new specifications and the revision of the original specifications within the two working groups of IEEE802 and 802.1, including PHY specifications, AVB specifications, and single-wire to data line power supply. In addition, AVB related to AV transmission, timing synchronization and other specifications also need to be standardized by other technical committees of IEEE, such as IEEE1722 and IEEE1588.

OPEN Alliance
The OPEN Industry Alliance was launched in November 2011 by Broadcom, NXP, and BMW to promote the application of Ethernet-based technology standards to in-car connectivity. The main standardization goal is to develop a 100Mbit/s BroadR-R physical layer standard and develop OPEN interoperability requirements.

AUTOSAR
AUTOSAR is a consortium of automotive manufacturers, suppliers, and tool developers that aims to develop an open, standardized automotive software architecture, and the AUTOSAR specification already includes the automotive TCP/UDP/IP protocol stack.

AVnu
The AVnu Alliance was formed by Broadcom in collaboration with Cisco, Harman and Intel to promote the IEEE 802.1 AVB standard and the Time Synchronization Network (TSN) standard, establish a certification system, and address important technical and performance issues such as precise timing, real-time synchronization, bandwidth reservation, and traffic shaping.
