Small I robot claims tens of billions from Apple. What's going on here?

On August 3, 2020, Shanghai Zhizhen Intelligent Network Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Zhizhen Company) formally filed a lawsuit with the Shanghai Higher People's Court, demanding that Apple stop its patent infringement on intelligent assistants, including but not limited to requiring Apple to stop manufacturing, using, promising to sell, selling and importing products that infringe the invention patent right of ZL2004 10053749.9, and the amount of the claim is tentatively calculated/KLOC.

Zhizhen Intelligent means that the small I robot is the patent holder invented by China (one of the basic patents of human-computer interactive intelligent robot in China) and has completely independent intellectual property rights. It can not only command robots to complete tasks in formatted language, but also chat and communicate in natural language. ), and applied in 2004, and finally obtained the patent right in 2009. Apple first launched the intelligent assistant on 20 1 1. In fact, as early as 20 12, Zhizhen Intelligent sued Apple for infringement, but because? Patent validity period? (refers to whether the patent in the current legal state has the right to provide legal protection. ) has been suspended. It was not until this year that the Supreme Court ruled that Zhizhen's robot patent was valid.

In fact, if Zhizhen and Apple were not involved in the infringement lawsuit, I still think that the intelligent assistant was developed by Apple itself. It can be seen from this incident that people are not fully aware of their own computer development level, or have always thought that foreign countries far surpass China in science and technology. In fact, it can be seen from the development process of Zhizhen Company's research and development of intelligent robots that China's technology has far surpassed other countries in some aspects, and people are constantly enhancing their patent awareness and starting to protect their own products, so as to reduce their own products from being repeated by others' things without applying for patent rights. We should take this as a warning, take rights protection seriously and take a good look at the products independently developed by our country.
