KIPO to run four safeguards to protect Korean technologies

韩国知识产权局将实施四项关键措施以防止韩国技术泄漏

The Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) has introduced four key measures to protect Korean technologies from leakage. First, KIPO is now designated as a counterintelligence agency, working with six other agencies to prevent industrial espionage. Second, KIPO will leverage its extensive expertise and vast patent data to identify and protect targeted core technologies, sharing findings with the national Counterintelligence Information Center. Third, the scope of KIPO’s investigative powers has been expanded to cover all trade secret infringement crimes. Fourth, KIPO introduces stricter penalties, including longer sentences and higher punitive damages, to deter technology theft, alongside new laws targeting brokers of trade secret leaks by retirees.

韩国知识产权局（KIPO）推出了四项关键措施以防止韩国技术泄漏。首先，KIPO 现已被指定为反情报机构，将与其他六个机构合作防止工业间谍活动。其次，KIPO 将利用其广泛的专业知识和庞大的专利数据来识别和保护被瞄准的核心技术，并将其调查结果与国家反情报信息中心共享。第三，KIPO 的调查权限范围已扩大至涵盖所有商业秘密侵权犯罪。第四，KIPO已建立更严格的处罚措施，包括延长刑期和提高惩罚性赔偿，以威慑技术盗窃行为，并针对鼓励退休人员泄漏商业秘密的中间人制定了新法律。

Germany bans Lenovo’s products over patent infringement

联想产品专利侵权，在德国遭全面禁售

The regional German court has ruled that Chinese tech company Lenovo and its subsidiary Motorola infringed on the patent rights of US firm InterDigital. The court in Munich prohibited both companies from selling devices supporting 4G/5G networks (smartphones and tablets) across Germany. InterDigital said it had hoped to provide licensing on FRAND (fair, reasonable, and non-discriminatory) terms, but said Lenovo failed to comply. “Following the court’s finding that Lenovo’s behavior constitutes a hold-out, we hope Lenovo reverses course and finally takes a fair and reasonable license,” commented Josh Schmidt, the Chief Legal Officer of InterDigital.

德国地区法院裁定，中国科技公司联想及其子公司摩托罗拉侵犯了美国公司InterDigital的专利权。慕尼黑法院禁止两家公司在德国范围内销售支持4G/5G网络的设备（包括智能手机和平板电脑）。InterDigital称其曾希望以公平、合理和非歧视性（FRAND）的原则提供许可，但联想未能遵守。InterDigital首席法务官Josh Schmidt表示：“在法院认定联想的行为构成拖延之后，我们希望联想改变方向，最终获得公平合理的许可。”

Shopify sues JOYY unit for copyright infringement

Shopify起诉欢聚集团子公司侵犯版权

Canadian e-commerce provider Shopify sued a subsidiary of Chinese technology company JOYY Inc in New York federal court on Tuesday, accusing it of illegally copying Shopify's software to build its own e-commerce platform. Shopify said in the lawsuit that JOYY's Shopline created a knockoff of its Dawn storefront-template technology to power competing e-commerce services. Shopify also told the court that merchants using Shopline's software violate its rights. Shopify asked the court for an unspecified amount of money damages and a court order blocking the alleged infringement.

加拿大电子商务服务提供商Shopify周二在纽约联邦法院起诉中国科技公司欢聚集团子公司，指控其非法复制了Shopify的软件以构建自己的电子商务平台。Shopify在诉讼中称，欢聚集团子公司Shopline创建了一个仿冒品，该仿冒品使用了Shopify的Dawn商店模板技术，以支持Shopline竞争性的电子商务服务。Shopify向法院表示，使用Shopline软件的商家也侵犯了其权利。Shopify要求法院判令被告赔偿其未明确数额的损失，并下令禁止涉嫌侵权的行为。

Rumble sues Google for anticompetitive digital advertising practices, claiming for over $1 billion

Rumble起诉谷歌数字广告违反竞争，索赔超10亿美元

Video-sharing platform Rumble said on Monday it has sued Google, arguing the tech giant has engaged in anticompetitive practices across its digital advertising products and sought damages in excess of $1 billion. The suit alleges Google has monopolized the ad stack by buying companies up and down the chain. Rumble has accused Google of maintaining its monopoly by reaching an agreement with Meta's Facebook to prevent Facebook from offering alternatives to Google's ad tech ecosystem. Google denied Rumble's claims calling them "simply wrong" and said that Rumble utilizes "dozens" of competing ad services in addition to Google's ad manager.

视频分享平台Rumble周一表示已对Google提起诉讼，指控这家科技巨头在其数字广告产品领域从事了违反竞争的行为。Rumble要求获得超过10亿美元的赔偿。该诉讼称，Google通过收购上下游公司来垄断广告堆栈。Rumble还指责Google通过与Meta的Facebook达成协议来维持其垄断地位，阻止Facebook提供替代Google广告技术生态系统的选择。Google否认了Rumble的指控，称其“完全错误”，并表示Rumble除了使用Google的广告管理平台外，还使用了“几十个”竞争对手的广告服务。

Dell, Caltech reach settlement over Wi-Fi patents

戴尔与加州理工学院就Wi-Fi专利达成和解

The California Institute of Technology and Dell told a Texas federal court that they have agreed to resolve Caltech's lawsuit claiming Dell infringes the school's patents covering wireless-communications technology. Caltech and Dell said in a court filing with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas on Tuesday that they would dismiss the case, ending a string of high-stakes Caltech patent lawsuits against tech companies over Wi-Fi chips. Caltech previously won a $1.1 billion jury verdict against Apple and Broadcom in a dispute over some of the same patents, though a U.S. appeals court later ordered a retrial on the damages amount. The university has since settled that case as well as related lawsuits against Samsung, Microsoft, and HP.

加州理工学院和戴尔向德克萨斯州联邦法院表示，双方已经同意解决加州理工学院起诉戴尔侵犯该学校无线通信技术专利的诉讼。根据加州理工学院和戴尔周二向美国德克萨斯州西区联邦地区法院提交的法庭文件，双方将撤销该案。该和解标志着一系列加州理工学院针对技术公司关于Wi-Fi芯片专利诉讼的结束。加州理工学院此前基于部分相同专利对苹果和博通提起了诉讼并赢得了11亿美元的陪审团判决，不过美国上诉法院后来下令重审损害赔偿金额。自此，加州理工和解了对三星、微软和惠普的相关诉讼。

Panasonic hit with infringement suit over car GPS technology

松下被诉侵犯汽车GPS专利技术

Panasonic Corporation of North America allegedly infringed a patent for an in-vehicle GPS system that warns drivers if they’re about to hit something, according to a new lawsuit. New Mexico-based Navog LLC filed a complaint in the US District Court for the Western District of Texas Wednesday alleging infringement of US Patent 10,593,205. The patent, issued in March 2020, describes a method for programming a vehicle GPS to warn truckers, bus, and RV drivers that there is insufficient vehicle clearance for “approaching underpasses, bridges, viaducts, tunnels, and other structures.” Navog LLC said in the lawsuit that Panasonic’s touchscreen vehicle GPS and “info-tainment” product uses its patented technology. Navog LLC is seeking all appropriate damages.

据一项最新的诉讼称，松下北美公司涉嫌侵犯了一项车载GPS系统专利，该专利技术可在驾驶员即将撞到障碍物时发出警示。总部位于新墨西哥州的Navog LLC公司周三在美国德克萨斯州西区联邦地区法院提起诉讼，指控松下侵犯了其10,593,205号美国专利。根据起诉书，该专利于2020年3月颁发，描述了一种编程车辆GPS系统的方法，以警示卡车司机、巴士司机和房车司机在接近“地下通道、桥梁、高架桥、隧道和其他结构”时车辆间隙不足。Navog LLC称，松下的触摸屏车载GPS和“信息娱乐”产品使用了其专利技术。Navog LLC要求获得恰当的损害赔偿。

Meta settles trademark lawsuit with Metacapital

Meta与Metacapital就商标诉讼达成和解

Meta Platforms has resolved a trademark lawsuit filed by investment firm Metacapital Management over the tech giant's name change from Facebook. Meta and Metacapital said in a court filing that they had agreed to a settlement in principle and asked the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York to pause the case while they finalize the agreement. Meta Platforms rebranded from Facebook in October 2021. It applied to register "Meta" trademarks in 2022 related to financial services including investment management. New York-based Metacapital sued later that year. Metacapital said Meta's name change would cause consumer confusion and requested damages of at least $60 million. Meta is facing other trademark lawsuits over its name change from virtual-reality company MetaX and tech-services provider Metabyte.

Meta平台已经就投资公司Metacapital Management对其提起的商标诉讼达成了和解，该诉讼涉及Meta从Facebook更名的问题。根据两家公司提交的法庭文件，双方已经达成了原则上的和解，并请求美国纽约南区联邦法院暂停该该案，以便他们最终确定协议。Meta平台于2021年10月将Facebook更名为Meta，并于2022年申请注册了涉及投资管理等金融服务的“Meta”商标。总部位于纽约的Metacapital随后对Meta提起了诉讼。Metacapital表示，Meta的名称更改会导致消费者混淆，并要求获得至少6000万美元的赔偿。报道称，由于更名，Meta还面临涉及虚拟现实公司MetaX和技术服务提供商Metabyte提起的商标诉讼。
