Subsidiary Ordered to Pay RMB 6 Million for Infringing Siemens Invention Patent
Siemens sued Suzhou Inovance, alleging that its high-voltage frequency converters infringed Siemens' invention patent for "neutral point shift/asymmetric bypass." The Supreme People's Court upheld the original judgment on appeal, ordering Suzhou Inovance to stop infringement and pay RMB 6 million plus RMB 200,000 in reasonable expenses. Intellectual property risks for domestic industrial control companies have drawn attention.
