The Supreme People’s Court (SPC) overturned a first-instance judgment in a patent infringement case involving a German packaging company, clarifying the application of the prosecution history estoppel principle. The court held that a patentee’s emphasis on distinguishing its invention from prior art during prosecution, based on the rigidity of its material, did not constitute a clear disclaimer of all deformable plastic materials. The SPC found infringement, reversed the non-infringement ruling, and awarded damages to the patentee, Rose Plastic AG.
