【专利幕后故事】驰骋于高速，胜利于专利：防眩网专利的抗争与胜利

在繁忙的高速公路上，车辆呼啸而过，搅动着隔离带绿植轻轻摆动树叶，而不为人所知的是，在这看似平静的背后，一场维权大战正悄然进行。这场战争的主角，是一项关于“防眩网”的专利。

一、专利的诞生

故事开始于2017年的春天。

2017年以前，车辆在高速公路上行驶时，为了防止对向车灯干扰驾驶员，通常需要在隔离带中设置防眩设施，一般是植物、防眩板、或者防眩网，其中防眩网在维护成本和防眩效果方面都具有突出优势。

However, it also has obvious disadvantages: if the distance between the two columns of the anti-glare net is too long, the middle crossbar is easy to sag. In order to prevent sagging, more columns must be used and the distance between the columns must be shortened. As a result, the construction cost and the difficulty of workers’ construction have risen sharply, and there is a huge waste of resources.

为了解决这个难题，老马和他的研发团队已经开展了数年的研究，终于在2017年春天迎来重大突破。他们知道，这一成果必将改变未来市场竞争的格局，而能否保护住来之不易的研发成果，成为了非常重要的事。他们联系了我们的资深专利代理师。

经过专利代理师两个月的精心检索、布局、撰写，专利文件终于在这个春天递交申请，随后也顺利获得了授权。

二、暴风雨前的宁静

As the days passed, Mr. Ma’s team began to be busy with market development and other projects. It seemed that this patent had become a pearl in their past success. But the storm came quietly – in 2021, a piece of news broke their calm. Anti-glare net products similar to their design appeared on the market. These products appeared in competitors’ bids without permission and even became popular on highways everywhere.

Obviously, Mr. Ma’s technological achievements were being infringed! They urgently contacted patent agents and patent litigation agents, hoping to regain the market that belonged to them through legal means.

In fact, Mr. Ma was very nervous at this time. It is said that patents are used to protect technology and markets, but he has not really defended his rights. Now he can’t see whether this patent can play a role.

三、维权之战

The horn of rights protection was officially sounded. Bulu’s professional team, after careful strategy formulation, launched an attack on the infringer. Then, in order to deal with the infringement lawsuit, the infringer filed the first invalidation request with CNIPA.

Because the patent documents four years ago were made very carefully, the first invalidation ended in failure. At this time, Mr. Ma’s heart was slightly relieved, and he felt that the text quality of this patent was very high, and he lamented that the original agency fee was really not wasted.

However, the infringer was not reconciled to the first failure, and then filed the second and third invalidation requests, but each challenge failed to shake the validity of the patent. With his successive failures, Mr. Ma’s confidence became more and more full.

其实在这场权利保卫战中，不仅是老马有坚定的维权意志，事务所也在技术层面显示了卓越的理解力，更在法律层面展现了精准的判断力。

四、挑战升级

Although CNIPA upheld the validity of the anti-glare net patent three times, the infringer still refused to accept the decision and filed an administrative lawsuit against CNIPA in the first instance. However, the court’s decision once again supported the validity of the patent. The infringer was unwilling to lose and finally appealed to the SPC.

For the patent attorney team, this was the final battle. In the SPC court, two commissioned patent attorneys appeared on behalf of the third party in this case (that is, the patent owner Mr. Ma), firmly and forcefully stated their position, cited many technical analyses and legal arguments, and faced the other party’s doubts and challenges. Afterwards, Mr. Ma said that he felt at ease in the SPC court.

五、最终胜利

最终，最高人民法院驳回了侵权人的所有请求，维持了原判。这一胜利，无疑是对代理师团队多年努力的最大肯定。

At the end of this story, the sun shines on the highway again, the infringed patent right of the “anti-glare net patent” is maintained, and most importantly, Mr. Ma’s “monopoly” position in the market is preserved.

代理师和老马从法院出来，车辆行驶在高速上，中间是老马研发生产的防眩隔离网，这不仅是一次法律上的胜利，更是一场心灵的洗礼。
