Drone company Daotong Intelligence was sued by PAE for patent infringement in the United States
Release Time：
2023-06-20
Recently, a U.S. company called WildCat Licensing LLC filed a lawsuit in the District Court for the Western District of Texas, accusing China's Daotong Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. Machine-related U.S. patents. These patents involve technologies such as UAV obstacle avoidance algorithms, navigation systems, digital telemetry and digital cameras. The plaintiff requested the court to order the defendant to stop the infringement and compensate for losses and attorney fees.
It is reported that these patents were first owned by IBM. Later, after many transfers, they finally fell into the hands of WildCat licensing company. WildCat Licensing, a company that specializes in patent licensing and litigation, is considered a patent assertion entity (PAE), commonly known as a "patent troll." PAEs usually do not produce any products or provide any services, but make money by purchasing and defending patents.
It is understood that the product involved in the lawsuit is the Autel EVO II drone owned by Autel Intelligence. It is a foldable 8K drone with a 40-minute battery life and a full range of obstacle avoidance functions. The plaintiff believes that the drone’s dynamic tracking, 360-degree obstacle avoidance and other functions infringe its patent rights.
It is worth noting that this is not the first patent lawsuit that Daotong Intelligence has faced in the United States. As early as 2015, Datong Intelligence launched a fierce patent war in the United States with Chinese drone giant DJI. The two parties accused each other of infringing on their appearance patents, utility model patents and invention patents, and filed a Section 337 investigation request with the U.S. International Trade Commission in an attempt to prohibit the other party from selling infringing products in the U.S. market. After six years of dispute, the two parties reached a settlement agreement in August 2021.
It remains to be seen whether this case will repeat the long-running standoff between DJI and Datong Intelligence. But what is certain is that as Chinese drone companies rise in the global market, they will inevitably face more patent challenges from competitors or PAEs. Source: Tiantian IP
