Nine-Year Patent War with 'Father of Massage Chairs' Family Inada; First Instance Orders RMB 5.1 Million Payment; Products Repeatedly Fail Spot Checks
Japan's Family Inada (Inada) sued Rongtai Health over a "chair-type massager" patent, seeking RMB 99 million; in 2024, the first instance ordered Rongtai to stop infringement and pay RMB 5.1 million, and Rongtai appealed; in 2025, the patent was again declared invalid. On products, in a 2015 national supervisory spot check, Rongtai's water-fill foot massager failed the "disturbance voltage" item; in a 2019 Guangzhou spot check, its multifunction massage pillow RT2238 failed the "structure" item. Litigation ongoing; spot-check notice.
