    Shanghai High Court Dismisses Xiaoi Robot's 10 Billion Yuan Siri Patent Suit at First Instance

    In 2020, Xiaoi Robot sued Apple's Siri for infringing its “chatbot system” patent and sought 10 billion yuan, drawing global attention; the patent had previously been upheld as valid in a final ruling by the Supreme People's Court. On June 10, 2026, the Shanghai High Court at first instance found that Siri lacked two necessary technical features of the patent and dismissed all of Xiaoi's claims; Xiaoi said it will appeal. Xiaoi also received a Nasdaq non-compliance notice because its share price and public float market value did not meet requirements. Progress: court judgment. Party involved: Xiaoi Robot (Shanghai Zhizhen Intelligent Network Technology Co., Ltd.). Related scope: Xiaoi v. Apple Siri patent case.
