Summary: A smart manufacturing equipment company in Jiangsu Province has infringed on the copyright of Lingyun Yongran's customer's computer software. This case seeks to promote peace through property preservation
A certain intelligent manufacturing equipment company in Zhejiang (the "defendant") used software copyrighted by Lingyun Yongran customers without authorization. The client is an American company that, out of trust in the professional capabilities of the legal team at Shanghai Lingyun Yongran Law Firm ("Lingyun Yongran"), has entrusted them to provide legal services for safeguarding their rights. Through the representation of the legal team led by Ling Yun Yongran, the two parties reached a settlement within one month.
The defendant maliciously obstructed property preservation. After accepting the commission, the lawyer team of Lingyun Yongran sent a letter to negotiate with the defendant. After unsuccessful negotiations, they filed a lawsuit on behalf of the client. During the period when the lawyer team of Lingyun Yongran cooperated with the court to handle property preservation, the defendant took malicious actions to obstruct the preservation. After being pointed out to the court by the legal team, the court seized the defendant's relevant property and imposed punishment on them, and the preservation was effectively promoted.
The client hopes to close the case in a short period of time and requests better litigation results. The defendant company has a large scale and complex internal relationships, and whether it can achieve customer goals in the short term, as well as how to achieve a procurement plan that satisfies both parties and balance interests, have put forward high requirements for the professional strength and business thinking of the legal team.
A typical case of using judicial power to enhance the awareness of legitimate products. The evidence preservation experience accumulated by the lawyer team of Lingyun Yongran in this case has high reference significance for similar cases. At the same time, the settlement of this case responds to China's latest requirements for strengthening intellectual property protection in 2023. In addition, the court seized the defendant's property and punished the enterprises that obstructed preservation, effectively deterring some enterprises with a sense of luck. This undoubtedly sounds the alarm for companies that use pirated software, and is conducive to enhancing their awareness of genuine software through judicial power, providing a good social foundation for the comprehensive promotion of genuine software.
