PetroChina alleged to have infringed patents

By his own invention, "underwater building components and elements used in the construction of underwater construction method" patent infringement, Beijing thoroughfare Engineering Technology Co., Ltd. Shanghai China's oil in one fell swoop [11.92 -2.30%] Gas Co., Ltd., China National Petroleum Dagang Oilfield Company Ltd., Tianjin Dagang Oilfield Group Construction Co., Ltd., China Petroleum Pipeline Engineering Co., Ltd. 4 companies to court. The four defendant companies were in the first position to the fourth defendant to sit out the dock. The two sides of the main trial proceedings, tort accountability side, the establishment of the patent or not, the evidence on issues such as authenticity and legitimacy of the battles.

The defendant's infringement of Tianjin Dagang oil field project offshore on the 4th of coastal road project. The plaintiffs sea thoroughfare Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "sea thoroughfare Company") attorney told reporters that the first, a pilot project in the oil used in the company's patent and paid royalties of 20 million, but then conducting negotiations with other project cooperation, the oil company was reorganized, so they left the contract down, but then, the sea thoroughfare companies have found the defendant in the construction of Tianjin Dagang oil field offshore of the coastal road works on the 4th, the continued use of its patented technology, malicious infringement of its patent rights. Therefore, the plaintiff made the direction of the defendant to stop infringement of the requirements and claims 6 million yuan.

However, the defendant expressed that this is a proprietary technology combined with already open within the Gong Xing Ye know the technical Biaozhun public formed a new technology is the industry's usual She Ji, Zhuanlitezheng Yebuwanquan line, did not see violation of the the plaintiff's patent. The amount of compensation for the 6 million yuan, an agent that the defendant was too great. "When I first experimental works only royalties collected 200,000 yuan, and now have to turn a few times is unreasonable."

In this regard, patents have told reporters that his patent for the project to save 30% -40% of the cost, in the past from 200 million to 300 million yuan in the project after the project construction cost of this technology down to 1 billion. And 5% of the total project cost -6% share of compensation is a very reasonable request. And he thought to involve a variety of coastal road construction projects, as long as the use of its technology can significantly save cost, so not too much to ask for six million yuan.

In addition to the amount of compensation divided, the four defendants from the "strife." As the first defendant and the second defendant in the oil stock company and its Dagang Oilfield Company, the agent strongly distance themselves from the responsibility of the company that the third defendant - that is, construction side, construction of Tianjin Dagang Oilfield Group Co., Ltd. implementation of the project side, the first and second defendants to the Dagang oil field of engineering construction contracting company, so the company's technology in building applications should be responsible, first and second defendants have not infringed.

Day, the court did not make a decision on the case. After the recess, reporters on the first and second defendants and the sea thoroughfare company agents interviewed both sides declined to disclose more information.

For the oil into the "alleged infringement" quagmire, it will lead to shrinking market, tarnished image, as well as projects involving the construction of the patent, production, management and other issues will be the impact, the oil agent does not answer, only that the court should carefully consider the termination of the trial, good listed companies as soon as possible so that negative effects of the oil out.
