A Dongguan company sued a seller for patent infringement, and 3C hot-selling products may suffer

As an indispensable item for office workers, the demand for headphones has always been strong. In recent years, with the advancement of electronic product research and development technology, Bluetooth headphones have gradually captured the hearts of consumers, and many businesses have also targeted this business opportunity.

However, in the context of frequent infringements, you must be careful about whether the popular products you sell are involved in infringement. Recently, there have been cases of Bluetooth headset infringement in the cross-border circle, and some sellers have been affected.

It is reported that the product involved in the infringement this time is owned by Chinese and is a patent infringement. The case number is 21-cv-4055, the prosecution time is July 29, 2021, the plaintiff brand is Qenla Bluetooth headsets, and the attorney firm is Bayramoglu Law Offices LLC.

According to Tianyancha information, Qenla Bluetooth headsets belong to a direct supplier of Bluetooth headsets manufacturers in Dongguan. The company was established in 2003. Its products are mainly sold to countries and regions such as Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea and Southeast Asia. It has created many popular products on Amazon.

At present, the company has passed the ISO9001 international quality management system certification, and has a series of internationally recognized certificates such as Bluetooth global BQB certification, Chinese and European and American appearance patent certificates, appearance patent evaluation reports, technical patents, utility model technologies, etc. Its products are trusted by consumers at home and abroad.

The following are some of the patent images applied for by the company. Please review them carefully. We hope that merchants who have not obtained authorization will deal with them in a timely manner to avoid the risk of being sued.

It is worth noting that this time, unlike previous infringement cases, the plaintiff is a Chinese seller. Following the last domestic toilet brush patent infringement incident, this is another case of Chinese sellers defending their rights, which shows that Chinese sellers’ awareness of brand patents is getting stronger and stronger.

In addition, Bluetooth headsets, as a product in the 3C category, have long become a red ocean. In order to stand out from the crowd of products, sellers have to invest more energy and focus on research and development. At a time when plagiarism and infringement are prevalent, applying for a patent is undoubtedly the best protection for the brand.

In addition, Amazon has always attached great importance to brand patent protection and has cracked down on counterfeit and shoddy products. Repeated infringement cases have also made Chinese sellers more and more aware of brand patents. Therefore, sellers must attach importance to brand patents, and future competition will definitely be a competition of intellectual property rights.
