Regarding this case, lawyer Gan Linxin of Beijing Dacheng (Hangzhou) Law Firm believes that in most infringement lawsuits, one party generally sues the other party for infringement, and in intellectual property cases, one party will sue for "confirmation of non-infringement" The reason for such cases is that intellectual property cases, especially those involving patent infringement, are very professional. After the parties themselves received a infringement warning issued by the right holder, the right holder did not pass the legal means within a reasonable period of time. When seeking protection, the parties themselves may not be able to judge whether they have infringed the patent rights of the other party. This behavior is in a state of instability. In order to eliminate this state of instability, the party receiving the warning can take the initiative to sue the court. , ask the court to confirm whether it is not infringing.
