Our client was sued for infringement of an invention patent owned by the plaintiff, and the plaintiff demanded our client to pay damages in the amount of NTD 20,000,000 (about USD 666,667). On behalf of the client, Tai E successfully persuaded the IP Court in the first and second instances that the patent in dispute shall be invalidated for lack of novelty, and the judgments were then rendered in favour of our client (the defendant) respectively on March 26, 2019 and May 21, 2020. The plaintiff then filed an appeal with the Taiwan Supreme Court, but the Court dismissed their appeal on May 12, 2022. This case has become irrevocable and binding.
