　　The dispute over the appearance of Shuanghuan S and CRV ranks among the "top ten" and "counterfeit products" in the intellectual property case. The reporter investigated –

　　The Supreme Court recently announced the top ten cases of judicial protection of intellectual property rights in Chinese courts in 2010, and the appearance dispute between Shuanghuan SRV and Honda CRV became one of the "top ten".

　　For the first time, the Supreme Court has suggested that the determination of whether a car is a "counterfeit product" should be based on the knowledge and cognitive ability of the average consumer. Legal experts believe that the case has a strong legal precedent effect and is a blow to the behavior of "counterfeit products".

　　Eight years of litigation

　　The Supreme Court quashed the original judgment

　　In September 2003, Honda Co., Ltd. believed that the Noble SRV produced by Shijiazhuang Shuanghuan Company infringed Honda CRV’s automobile design patent and sued for 100 million yuan.

　　After that, Shuanghuan Company applied to the Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Office to declare Honda’s patent invalid. Honda refused to accept the application and sued the Patent Reexamination Board. Although Honda lost both trials, it still refused and applied to the Supreme Court for retrial.

　　After eight years in the case, the Supreme Court finally reversed the decision of the Patent Reexamination Board and the original judgment. The Supreme Court held that whether infringement should be based on the knowledge level and cognitive ability of ordinary consumers, and the overall observation should be used to comprehensively judge the visual effect of the two. The same should be true for judging the exterior design of a car, weighing the impact of various parts on the overall visual effect of the exterior design of the car.

　　The legal profession believes that this case has a strong legal precedent effect. There have always been different views in practice on the judgment method of "identical or similar design" under the patent law. Because of this, for more than a decade, the lawsuits of "counterfeit products" caused by local autonomous car companies have mostly ended in victory for autonomous car companies.

　　The Supreme Court’s decision is a denial of "counterfeit products" and marks a "turnaround" in the court system.

　　reporter investigation

　　In recent years, more than 40 counterfeit products have been exposed

　　The 2011 Shanghai Auto Show ended recently, during which a total of 11 locally owned brand cars were accused of being "counterfeit products".

　　Among them, a new car from Brilliance not only looks like a new 5-series model, but also has the name 530.

　　The production city "Paulig" is the same as that "exaggerated mouth" in terms of appearance.

　　The SUV model "IF" on display, with body lines and a slipback roof, is very close.

　　The design of Qisheng V3 is obviously similar to that of the old RX, with almost the same headlights, fog lamps, and overall bumper style.

　　The first SUV model, the S6, is said to have followed suit in its styling, particularly in its side profile.

　　According to statistical reporters, the number of "counterfeit products cars" at auto shows has increased in recent years. In 2004 and 2005, there were only 6 "counterfeit products cars" exposed by the media, while since 2010, 19 "counterfeit products cars" have been exposed at auto shows, and more than 40 models have been exposed since 2004.

　　Half of the "counterfeit products" cars are priced below 100,000 yuan, while 60% of the objects of "counterfeit products" are foreign luxury cars above 300,000 yuan.

　　Eight Years Auto Show

　　"King of counterfeit products" is BYD

　　After statistical reporters found that during the 8-year auto show, BYD was the most frequently accused of "counterfeit products" for new cars, followed by Great Wall.

　　Among them, BYD has a total of 7 "counterfeit products", the price of less than 100,000 yuan, F3, F6, is accused of "counterfeit products" in the price of 150,000 yuan to 300,000 yuan Aygo, Toyota and Toyota.

　　The S8, T6 and M6, priced between 100,000 yuan and 300,000 yuan, were respectively accused of "counterfeit products" of four foreign luxury cars priced at more than 500,000 yuan, including Lexus RX, Toyota and Porsche Cayenne.

　　"We are ready to go to court and 100 per cent will not let our opponents win," Lian Yubo, BYD’s vice-president, told the media at the time of the Toyota Camry launch.

　　According to BYD’s internal staff, in order to circumvent the law, BYD has to dismantle a large number of the world’s most advanced cars every year for analysis, research and testing. Do it without patents, and modify it if there are patents.

　　BYD also has an intellectual property and legal department with nearly 200 employees, which is specifically responsible for supervising BYD’s various product divisions and informing them at any time which technologies must be circumvented.

　　BYD: We have a lot of patents

　　In this regard, the reporter interviewed BYD Automotive Sales Co., Ltd. The relevant person in charge of the company did not directly answer "whether BYD counterfeited products to others", but stressed that "in the development of the enterprise, we will also learn and absorb the technology and management experience of excellent enterprises at home and abroad, but always adhere to the road of independent research and development."

　　While many in the industry view BYD’s practice of "adapting and using other people’s patents" as "counterfeit products," BYD believes that many of them are already the company’s patents.

　　The person in charge said that BYD established an intellectual property and legal department precisely to be responsible for the development and application of patents for the company’s latest research and development achievements and to protect BYD’s technological achievements.

　　At present, the company has more than 2,000 patents in the automotive field, and another 3,000 patents are in the process of being filed.

　　He said that if employees in the intellectual property department find that other companies have infringed, they will file a lawsuit to defend the company’s patent rights.

　　Industry analysis

　　"Counterfeit products" reduce costs and risks

　　Why are local self-owned car companies keen on "counterfeit products"? Zhong Shi, an auto industry analyst and editor-in-chief of China Auto News, believes that "counterfeit products" can reduce costs on the one hand and risks on the other hand. Auto shows are an important stage for cars to be displayed to consumers, so it is not surprising that "counterfeit products" are gathered at auto shows.

　　He said that a mature car takes about three to four years from design to production in China. But those so-called "clone cars" and "counterfeit products" only take one to two years from design to production. In addition to saving two years, it also saves at least tens of millions of yuan in research and development expenses.

　　Zhong Shi said that mature models have to go through wind tests, road resistance tests, etc., to determine the best car shape and finally be recognized by the market. The counterfeit products save a lot of testing process, and the cost is greatly reduced. In addition, the "counterfeit products" car adopts the "import" approach, which largely avoids the risk of the model being put on the market.

　　Zhong Shi told reporters that because "cloning" foreign mature cars has tasted the sweetness, some "counterfeit products" car companies have stopped working on research and development, so the corporate image is getting worse and worse, and the reputation is declining.

　　The owner’s vanity is fully satisfied

　　Zhong Shi analyzed that people who buy low-end cars are highly sensitive to price. "Counterfeit products" just satisfy the vanity mentality of some of them "spend the least money and drive a better-looking car."

　　Reporters found that among "counterfeit products owners", the behavior of changing the logo is very common. In the eyes of some people, it is cost-effective to buy a car for less than 100,000 yuan and then change the logo of a luxury car, which saves money and earns face. Among them, there are those who insert the Mercedes-Benz SMART logo on the double-ring car, and those who replace the "battlements" of the Great Wall with the "bull head" of the Toyota SUV.

　　Reporters also saw in the auto parts market that Mercedes-Benz, BMW and other luxury car logos are available in some stalls. Imitation car logos are very cheap, such as a full set of Toyota car logos (front and rear logos, four-wheel side logos and steering wheel logos) only cost more than 100 yuan, if you buy a single car logo, only 20 yuan.

　　The auto mechanic told reporters that changing the car logo is very simple. Take off the original car logo with a sol solution, and then glue the new car logo with 3M glue. When inspecting the car, just change it back to the original.

　　According to previous media reports, the IKEA Lifan 4S store near Lize Bridge, the salesperson even publicly declared that it is a highly potential model. There is a business in the store called "personalized modification". Auto mechanics add "small wings" to the front and rear logos of Lifan 320, and the owner can use it as Cooper.

　　Lawyer’s statement

　　The legal protection of intellectual property rights has been strengthened

　　In recent years, there have been patent lawsuits between local independent car companies and joint ventures and foreign car companies. QQ and GM SPARK, Great Wall and Toyota, Shuanghuan Noble SRV and Honda CRV, to name a few.

　　The above-mentioned automobile patent lawsuits have been protracted, but the companies that have been "counterfeit products" have not "taken advantage" of the lawsuits.

　　But now, the wind seems to have changed. The Supreme Court’s Interpretation on Several Issues Concerning the Application of Law in the Trial of Patent Infringement Disputes came into effect on January 1, 2010. This judicial interpretation makes it clear that courts should judge whether designs are the same or similar based on the perception of ordinary consumers.

　　The head of the Supreme Court’s intellectual property division explained that the judicial interpretation aims to "properly handle patent infringement disputes based on China’s national conditions, and encourage independent innovation and technological progress."

　　Liu Lin, a lawyer at Beijing Shuangli Law Firm, analyzed that with the strengthening of intellectual property protection in our country, the litigation risk of continuing to produce "counterfeit products" is increasing, and local independent car companies may consider this and speed up the pace of independent innovation.

　　It is difficult to sell "counterfeit products" in Beijing once the purchase restriction order is issued

　　Zhong Shi, an auto industry analyst, told reporters that after the introduction of the purchase restriction order, car sales in the Beijing auto market have dropped significantly. People’s current car buying psychology is that "I originally wanted to buy a low-end car, but the car is so difficult to buy, it is better to buy a slightly higher-end car."

　　Since "counterfeit products" are mainly concentrated in the price range below 100,000 yuan, and buyers are mainly "cheap", Zhong Shi believes that the current purchase restriction order will have a psychological impact on a large number of them.

　　"Some owners gave up’counterfeit products’ and switched to higher-end cars between 100,000 yuan and 200,000 yuan." This statement was also confirmed by the reporter from the dealership of "counterfeit products king" BYD.

　　BYD F3, F6 dealers, Guangqu Road Rui Fengsheng 4S store manager Lin said that the store’s dealership of vehicles are less than 100,000 yuan, since the introduction of the purchase restriction order, sales have plummeted, the purchase order after three months of total sales does not equal the purchase order before 10 days of sales, the worst month only sold 10 cars.

　　4S store sales staff

　　After the introduction of the purchase restriction order, due to the significant decrease in business, most of the sales staff of 4S stores have left.

　　According to automotive industry sources, after the purchase restriction order, only 20% of the vehicles sold in 4S shops were sold to buyers who bought cars, and the other 80% were sold through replacement or sales to other places.

　　As a low-end car under 100,000 yuan, it does not have the advantage of replacement and sales to other places.

　　Major economic case

　　Surprising secrets lurk behind the dry words of court verdicts in economic cases

　　● Among the complex economic phenomena are the sophistication of the business world

　　● "Walking" between the legal system and the economy, interpreting the economy from the perspective of the legal system. Follow well-known enterprises at home and abroad, and pay attention to social and people’s livelihood

　　Counterfeit products "luxury" car

　　In the army of counterfeit products, most of them take the "high-end" route. The reporter’s investigation found that more than 60% of counterfeit products are directly aimed at international big brands with a price of more than 300,000 yuan.

　　Since 2004, more than 40 counterfeit products have been exposed at the three major auto shows in Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, all of which are local independent brands. The objects of "counterfeit products" are all foreign brands or joint venture brands.

　　Compared with the "counterfeit products" objects of 300,000 to 400,000, the price of domestic counterfeit products cars is concentrated below 150,000.

As an automaker with a deep brand heritage, FAW Toyota has established a good reputation in the hearts of consumers for many years with its reliable quality, advanced technology and excellent service. In the past three years, FAW Toyota’s annual retail sales of new cars have exceeded 800,000 units, with sales of 800,018 units in 2023, an increase of 4.1% year-on-year. It is the only car company that has achieved positive growth among mainstream Japanese joint venture car brands. In today’s highly competitive auto market, independent brands and joint venture brands, new energy vehicles and fuel vehicles are fighting, and FAW Toyota has always occupied an important position in the market with its own strength and continuous innovation spirit.

As a joint venture manufacturer, FAW Toyota’s three comprehensive strategies of "Comprehensive Response to National Policies, Comprehensive Intelligent Hybrid, and Comprehensive High-end" are important guidelines for its development. This not only reflects FAW Toyota’s sense of social responsibility and forward-looking, enabling it to provide consumers with more environmentally friendly and efficient travel options in the context of environmental protection and energy transformation, but also contributes to the sustainable development of the country. The comprehensive high-end strategy enables FAW Toyota to occupy a place in the high-end market.

With the release of the IT’S TiME 2.0 technology brand, it marks a major breakthrough for FAW Toyota in technological innovation.

To be able to move forward steadily in such a highly invaded market environment is inseparable from FAW Toyota’s own strong car-making ability and product strength that consumers trust.

The intensity of competition in the 2024 automotive market is obvious to all, especially with the decline in the cost of new energy, "the same price of gasoline and electricity" is like a missile thrown at fuel vehicles, squeezing their market share. Coupled with the white-hot competition among brands and the intensifying price war, the survival environment of fuel vehicles can be described as even more difficult. Under the dual pressure of sales and profitability, FAW Toyota has not only maintained a stable growth trend, but also its market share of fuel vehicles has risen. The strong competitiveness is a strong demonstration of FAW Toyota’s continued influence in traditional fields.

According to the data released by FAW Toyota, the new August sales of 9,264 units, an increase of 178% compared with the previous month. The new Asian Dragon was launched in July this year, providing three power 9 configurations, priced from 178,800 yuan. Looking at the sales from January to August 2024, FAW Toyota sold 463,000 units, and the TNGA-K high-end models represented by the new Asian Dragon sold 235,000 units, accounting for 50.8%, an increase of 3.9% year-on-year.

This data fully demonstrates that FAW Toyota’s comprehensive high-end transformation achievements have accelerated and its brand diversification has entered a new level. This not only helps to enhance brand competitiveness, highlight brand characteristics, but also helps to form differentiated competition with other brands, attract more high-end consumers, and expand its market share. And for the product itself, the comprehensive high-end transformation has promoted product upgrades, improved product quality and performance, and improved consumers’ driving experience.

In addition, brand-new, brand-new, brand-new, and brand-new high-end models are equipped with FAW Toyota’s third-order intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine, Toyota Space smart space, and Toyota Pilot high-end intelligent driving, enabling FAW Toyota to form a new pattern of full layout of intelligent electric hybrid dual-engine products and comprehensive intelligent mixing of brands.

Taking the new Prado as an example, its 2.4T 1MT HEV super hybrid system and 288V high voltage DC motor can burst out powerful torque at low speed, giving the vehicle the ultimate off-road and reliable escape ability. The application of high-end technology not only improves the quality and performance of the product, but also plays an important role in promoting the development of the brand. While improving the brand perception, it can also attract more high-end consumers, so that more consumers can appreciate the charm of FAW Toyota.

In 2024, FAW Toyota will be on full fire. In the face of the "dire straits" of the Chinese auto market, FAW Toyota will not be afraid of the deep clouds with the "long-term doctrine" of "long-term success", and "abundant" will be calm. Meeting challenges with smarter methods has become a model of sustainable development in the industry. In addition, FAW Toyota is also constantly expanding the new energy market and realizing the coordinated development of traditional fuel vehicles and new energy vehicles, setting a transformation benchmark for the automotive industry and promoting the entire industry to develop in a higher quality, smarter and more environmentally friendly direction.

In the current Chinese auto market, independent brands and new energy vehicles are developing rapidly, consumer demand for cars is also changing, joint venture brands are also increasing marketing activities and product delivery efforts, under fierce competition, FAW Toyota wants to occupy a leading position in the market, still facing greater challenges. I believe that in the future, FAW Toyota will continue to strengthen product innovation and marketing activities, uphold the spirit of innovation, bring more high-quality products and services to consumers, and create more brilliant performance in the automotive market.

　　After less than a year, Lantu Automobile once again ushered in a round of senior management changes.

　　On May 15, the power plant reporter received confirmation from the official that Yu Fei, the general manager of sales of Lantu Automobile, and Liu Zhanshu, the deputy general manager of sales, had both left around May Day. According to the power plant’s understanding, this is another management change within Lantu Automobile after the large-scale organizational structure adjustment of Dongfeng last July. In addition to the two senior executives of the marketing department, this personnel adjustment also involves a number of middle managers of the marketing department.

　　According to public information, Liu and Yu joined Lantu in June and July last year respectively. Before that, they had both worked in the automotive industry for many years. Yu Fei is a veteran of the Great Wall department and served as the general manager of marketing of the Ola brand under the Great Wall, while Liu Zhanshu is the old partner of Lantu CEO Lu Fang. He has served many well-known brands such as FAW-Volkswagen Audi, SAIC-GM Buick, and Extreme Krypton Automobile.

　　As for the reason for leaving, Liu Zhanshu told the power plant that his family is in Shanghai, and it is difficult to take care of his family in Wuhan for a long time. In his internal letter when he left in early April, he also said that "after drifting outside for more than two years, it is time to return." Regarding his experience during his tenure, he said in the letter that "Landmap is the shortest working time and the largest workload in my career, and of course the most rewarding experience."

　　According to Liu Zhanshu, there are indeed many problems within Landmap, and there is still a lot of basic work that needs to be improved, but there are opportunities in technology, products and other aspects. In this regard, a middle-level person who left the company told the power plant that the biggest problem of Landmap is that the group controls too strictly. "What choices are made internally are given by parents, and they are very strong opinions." He believes that Liu Zhanshu does not fit well with this working atmosphere.

　　As a high-end electric brand under Dongfeng, Lantu is similar to Zhiji under SAIC and Extreme Krypton under Geely. Lantu is alsoUnder the impact of the electric vehicle wave, the product is not only the pioneer of the latter’s electric vehicle transformation, but also carries the latter’s dream of high-end impact. Since its independent operation in June 2021, Lantu Automobile has released a total of three products, but the market sales have always been unsatisfactory.

　　The data shows that the first model of Lantu, Lantu FREE, was delivered in August 2021. The cumulative sales volume in 2021 was only 6791 units. The second model, Lantu Dreamer, was delivered in July 2022. The cumulative sales volume of the two vehicles in 2022 was only 19,400 units, only 62% of the annual sales target. This year, the sales target set by Lantu is 40,000 – 60,000 units. As of April, Lantu actually completed only 9021 units.

　　Among them, in March this year, Dongfeng Group and the Hubei government launched the "strongest car purchase season in history" subsidy activity, covering Dongfeng Citroen, Dongfeng Peugeot, Dongfeng Nissan, Dongfeng Honda, Dongfeng Fengshen and other brands. The maximum comprehensive subsidy is as high as 90,000 yuan, while the starting price of Lantu Dreamer is directly reduced by 40,000 yuan to 329,900 yuan. Even so, the sales volume of Lantu Automobile in the month is only 3027 vehicles.

　　In July last year, Dongfeng Group made its first personnel adjustment to Lantu, involving a total of six executives. Among them, Lu Fang, CEO of Lantu Automobile, no longer served as CTO, and was replaced by Wang Junjun, an old man in the Dongfeng department. In addition, the leadership team of Dongfeng Department, Qin Jie, Liu Mingjiao, Gong Xuesong, and Shao Mingfeng, also took up positions in Lantu. Yu and Liu, who left this time, also joined during this period.

　　However, as the paratroopers represented by Yu and Liu left one after another, the marketing authority of Lantu was also handed back to Shao Mingfeng, an executive of the Dongfeng Department. So far, the senior management team of Lantu, except for Lu Fang, is basically the leadership team of the Dongfeng Department. In this regard, the above-mentioned mid-level people who left told the power plant that now, Lu Fang’s internal real power is also limited, but if "President Lu leaves, it will really be a state-owned enterprise".

　　Judging from the signals revealed by Lu Fang, the operating pressure exerted by Dongfeng Group is not small. At the Shanghai Auto Show in April, Lu Zai said in an interview with the power plant and other media that each company’s birth environment is different, and how to use existing resource endowments to complete market competition is a problem that each company needs to think about. Although it is also learning from the experience of its peers internally, the difficulty of Landmap is to solve the problem within a certain framework.

　　A typical example is the funding problem. The above-mentioned mid-level people pointed out that the internal knows that there is a problem, but to solve the problem will cost money. According to public information, after two years of independent operation, Lantu completed a round of external financing in November last year, with a financing amount of 4.55 billion yuan. Among them, Dongfeng Motor invested 900 million yuan. After the investment, the shareholding ratio is still as high as 78.88%, and it is still the absolute controlling shareholder.

　　According to NIO founder Li Bin, the capital threshold for car building has been pulled to 40 billion. For Landmap, external financing of only 3.65 billion yuan will not last long, and it needs to be backed by Dongfeng Group’s continuous blood transfusion, which has many restrictions on the attributes of state-owned enterprises. The above-mentioned mid-level person pointed out that maintaining the status quo may be the best choice. "If you really want to make a big change, there may be certain risks to Landmap."

　　In addition to the loss of independent operating space, the above-mentioned mid-level people pointed out that another problem of Landmap is that Dongfeng Department is too eager to achieve success. In this regard, a number of users who are certified as Landmap employees broke the news on social media that not only do they frequently change management, but also frequently change the employee appraisal system. The appraisal system implemented is often opaque, and there was even a problem of temporarily changing the performance coefficient around November last year.

　　This behavior has been interpreted by many users as disguised layoffs. In March this year, Lantu Auto has launched a round of layoffs, involving multiple departments such as outbound calls and sales support. Lantu has responded to the power plant, and this wave of adjustments has been settled before the auto show. According to the revelations, at present, the normal elimination rate of Lantu Auto at the end of the quarter is around 5%, and with the new round of executive adjustments, Lantu may usher in a new round of personnel turmoil.
