​收到侵权警告函，先过心理关 Handle psychological problems first after receiving an infringement warning letter随着国内商业氛围和法规的逐步成熟，每个商家或老板都自我知识产权的保护意识越来越重，对于专利诉讼，经历了从不了解、到熟悉、再到关注的过程，比如高通诉魅族专利侵权案，华为诉三星专利侵权、王老吉加多宝知识产权纠纷等，都引起了大家广泛的关注。

With the gradual maturity of the domestic business atmosphere and regulations, every businessman or boss has become more and more aware of the protection of their own intellectual property rights. For patent litigation, they have gone through a process from ignorance, to familiarity, to attention, such as Qualcomm litigation. Meizu patent infringement cases, Huawei v. Samsung patent infringement, Wanglaoji Jiaduobao intellectual property disputes, etc., have attracted widespread attention.

收到专利侵权警告函，首先要过心理关，具体有两个心理层次的考量：When you receive a patent infringement warning letter, you must first pass the psychological test. There are two psychological considerations:

第一个层次：稳住心态，明确对方的意图，分析到底是否侵权The first level: stabilize the mentality, clarify the intention of the other party, and analyze whether the infringement is in the end.。

第二个层次：有侵权的可能性，积极应对，找律师看如何把损失降到最低（谈和解、应诉、提无效）The second level: If there is a possibility of infringement, deal with it actively, and find a lawyer to see how to minimize the loss (talk about reconciliation, respond to the lawsuit, and file for invalidity).。

分析对方的商业目的 Analyze the other partys business purpose收到警告函，首先要沉住气，不要慌认定专利侵权有很多条件，不是说对方说侵权就侵权的，现实中跟对方的产品一样，也不意味着就侵犯了对方的专利权。

When you receive a warning letter, first of all, keep calm and dont panic. There are many conditions for determining patent infringement. It does not mean that the other party infringes the infringement.

In reality, it is the same as the other partys product, and it does not mean that the other partys patent rights are infringed.

其次，要明确对方的意图，可以通过分析警告函或者诉状来明确对方的意图发警告函一般有两个作用，一是警告，二是构成诉讼时效中断事由只要不超过诉讼时效，侵权诉讼中赔偿数额可以从侵权之日起开始计算Secondly, to clarify the intention of the other party, you can clarify the intention of the other party by analyzing the warning letter or complaint. 。

A warning letter generally has two functions, one is a warning, and the other is to constitute a reason for the interruption of the statute of limitations. As long as the statute of limitations does not exceed, the amount of compensation in an infringement lawsuit can be calculated from the date of infringement.

对方发警告函有时是希望我方知难而退，以达到阻止侵权的目的；有时是希望坐下来谈一谈谈，谈赔偿，谈许可费，还有时可能就是单纯地用于中断诉讼时效Sometimes the other party sends a warning letter to hope that we will retreat in spite of the difficulties, so as to achieve the purpose of preventing infringement;。

为何对方选择发警告函，而不是直接起诉？一般来说，除了节约维权成本之外，也希望双方能够坐下来谈一谈，还不愿意撕破脸皮，而直接起诉就说明对方要真刀实枪干起来了当然也不排除通过诉讼来给谈判施压，采用边打边谈的策略。

Why did the other party choose to issue a warning letter instead of directly prosecuting? Generally speaking, in addition to saving the cost of rights protection, I also hope that the two parties can sit down and talk, and they are not willing to tear their faces, and direct prosecution means that the other party is going to do it. Of course, it does not rule out the use of litigation to put pressure on the negotiation and adopt the strategy of fighting while talking.

无论是发函还是起诉，直接目的一般要么是钱，要么是市场，这区别在于是否愿意谈判，以及谈判的时机，所以收到警告函或者是诉状之后，我方应该直接分析对方的商业目的Whether it is a letter or a lawsuit, the direct purpose is generally either money or the market. 。

The difference lies in whether you are willing to negotiate and the timing of the negotiation. Therefore, after receiving the warning letter or complaint, we should directly analyze the other partys business purpose.

同时，也要明确一下我方的底线，以及应对侵权诉讼的策略大概应该走到哪一步？At the same time, we must also clarify our bottom line and what step should our strategy for dealing with infringement lawsuits take?

防守：尽快整理证据 Defense: Organize Evidence ASAP在明确了对方的商业目的后，我们第一步要做的应对策略，就是尽快整理证据After clarifying the other partys business purpose, our first response strategy is to sort out the evidence as soon as possible.。

整理证据包括两个方面：Collating evidence includes two aspects:一是立即合法清理对我方不利的证据，这些证据包括可以证明我方侵权的侵权行为证据，以及证明赔偿额的赔偿额证据。

The first is to immediately and legally clean up the evidence against us, including evidence of infringement that can prove our infringement, and evidence of the amount of compensation to prove the amount of compensation.

比如说对于公司网页上的内容做出调整，收回宣传册，或者对于宣传册的内容做出调整，或许对方还没有考虑到收集这些证据，或者对方收集的这些证据程序不合法For example, if you make adjustments to the content on the companys website, take back a brochure, or make adjustments to the content of the brochure, perhaps the other party has not considered collecting these evidences, or the other partys collection of these evidence procedures is illegal.。

二是尽快收集对我方有利的证据The second is to collect evidence in our favor as soon as possible.比如说双方是否签署过专利许可协议或者是技术合作协议，而这些协议呢是否赋予我方使用对方专利的权利，我方的涉案专利是否属于在先使用，是否属于现有技术。

For example, whether the two parties have signed a patent license agreement or a technical cooperation agreement, and whether these agreements give us the right to use the other partys patents, whether our involved patents belong to prior use, and whether they belong to prior art.

进攻：提专利无效和反诉 Offensive: filing patent invalidation and counterclaims具体的说，就是分析涉案专利的稳定性，然后到专利局复审委员会提专利无效宣告请求。

Specifically, it is to analyze the stability of the patent involved, and then submit a patent invalidation request to the Patent Office Reexamination Board.

提专利无效的好处在于：一是可能会无效掉对方专利，从而从根上否定对方起诉的权利基础二是专利权人在应对无效的时候，他的解释或者是表述可能会对专利侵权的认定产生对原告不利的影响The advantages of filing patent invalidation are: First, it may invalidate the other partys patent, thereby fundamentally denying the other partys right to sue. 。

Second, when the patentee responds to invalidation, his interpretation or expression may have an adverse impact on the plaintiffs determination of patent infringement.

为防患于未然，我方也可以对涉案专利进行修改，以绕过涉案专利的保护范围如果能够绕过，且修改成本也在预期之内，那么是可以采取规避措施的In order to prevent problems before they happen, we can also modify the patent in question to bypass the protection scope of the patent in question. 。

If it can be bypassed and the modification cost is expected, then circumvention measures can be taken.

除了“提专利无效”和“修改专利保护范围”，还可以采取如下几个应对策略：In addition to "invalidating the patent" and "modifying the scope of patent protection", the following countermeasures can also be adopted:

策略1: 质疑原告的起诉资格Strategy 1: Challenge the plaintiffs standing to sue如果出现原告是专利的共有人，但没有与其他共有人之间约定原告可以单独起诉，那么原告的主体就不适格。

在这种情况下，可以提交原告主体不适格的答辩，如果答辩理由成立，根据民事诉讼法的规定，法院应当依法裁定驳回起诉If the plaintiff is the co-owner of the patent, but there is no agreement with other co-owners that the plaintiff can sue alone, then the subject of the plaintiff is not eligible. 。

In this case, the plaintiff subjects unqualified defense can be submitted. If the defense grounds are established, according to the provisions of the Civil Procedure Law, the court shall rule to dismiss the lawsuit according to law.

策略2:提管辖权异议Strategy 2: Raise Jurisdictional Objections对于原告而言，选择管辖法院是他着重考虑的换句话说，原告一般认为在他选择的管辖法院起诉的话，一定是对他自己有利的。

For the plaintiff, choosing the jurisdictional court is his important consideration. In other words, the plaintiff generally believes that it must be in his own interest to sue in the competent court of his choice.

那基于这样的考虑，我方有必要分析法院的管辖上是否存在问题此外，不论管辖是否真的存在问题，提管辖权异议，都可以为被告争取应对侵权诉讼的时间Based on this consideration, it is necessary for us to analyze whether there is a problem with the jurisdiction of the court.。

In addition, regardless of whether there is a real problem with jurisdiction, raising a jurisdictional objection can buy time for the defendant to deal with the infringement lawsuit.

策略3: 提确认不侵权之诉Strategy 3: File a lawsuit confirming non-infringement如果对方向我方发警告函而没有提起诉讼，我方可书面催告他行使诉权，对方在收到书面催告起一个月内，或者是自书面催告发出之日起两个月内，对方不撤回警告，不提起诉讼，也没有采取其他法律措施的，我方有权提起确认不侵权之诉的。

If the other party sends us a warning letter and does not file a lawsuit, we can urge him to exercise the right of action in writing. Warning, if no lawsuit is filed, and no other legal measures are taken, we have the right to file a lawsuit for confirmation of non-infringement.

我方提了不侵权之诉后，对方在其他法院提侵权之诉，这个侵权之诉也需要移送到受理确认不侵权之诉的法院这样，从法院管辖方面，我方可以占得先机After we file a non-infringement lawsuit, the other party files an infringement lawsuit in another court, and the infringement lawsuit also needs to be transferred to the court that accepts the non-infringement lawsuit. 。

In this way, from the jurisdiction of the court, we can take the lead.

如果收到了专利侵权警告函，应该怎么处理？首先是不要慌，稳住心态并明确对方的商业目的，接下来是做好防守策略，立即合法清理对我方不利的证据，最后分析一下是否可以采取反制策略What should I do if I receive a patent infringement warning letter? The first is not to panic, stabilize the mentality and clarify the business purpose of the other party. The next step is to develop a defensive strategy, immediately and legally clear the evidence against us, and finally analyze whether a countermeasure can be adopted.。

当然，无论是采取和解、应诉或提无效等策略，都应该找专业的知识产权律师商量，把损失降到最低Of course, whether it is to adopt strategies such as reconciliation, responding to a lawsuit or filing for invalidation, you should consult with a professional intellectual property lawyer to minimize losses.。
