Interview on Patent Infringement Litigation Strategy and Skills

在知识产权保护中，专利保护是一种比较强的保护手段。对于技术含量高的产品，企业一般会选择用专利保护。然而，当遇到专利侵权时，由于专利涉及复杂的技术问题，打这类官司最为费时费力。面对有时长达数年的诉讼，一些外国公司甚至选择了离开中国市场。英国Strix公司是留下来的大多数外国公司之一，它是全球最大的小型自动温控器制造商，在中国拥有近100件专利。

Of the IP right protections, patent protection is one of the relatively strong means of protection. For a highly technical product an enterprise would choose the patent protection. However, patent infringement lawsuit is most time and energy consuming Since a patent usually involves sophisticated technical problems. Faced with years of lawsuit, some foreign businesses even choose to leave the Chinese market. Strix, a company from the U.K., the world＇s largest manufacturer of small-type automatic temperature controllers and proprietor of nearly 100 patents in China, is one of the foreign corporations that choose to stay. Strix＇s products began to enter China in the late 1990s. Since 1998, it has spent more than a million （RMB） yuan to fight counterfeit and patent infringement in China for the protection of its such small type temperature controllers.
