Construction of the first case of criminal infringement in the pump industry

Shanghai Panda Water Pumps, as the leading brand in the domestic construction industry pump industry, owns more than 70 intellectual property rights, and some companies use fraudulent means to smash the panda pumps in order to achieve their goal of gaining market share, resulting in a further upgrade of panda pump infringement cases. The first case of criminal infringement in the pump industry in the domestic construction industry.

In 2007, the Qingpu District Public Security Bureau of Shanghai Municipality reported to Shanghai Panda Machinery (Group) Co., Ltd.: "Beginning in August 2006, some people successively passed relevant media to falsely report on the company's panda brand pumps. The negative publicity has caused major direct and indirect losses to the company.” The Qingpu District Public Security Bureau has formally placed an investigation on this matter. However, such a star enterprise has become a regular “victim” when the development of the pump industry is not standardized and the competition is extremely fierce. "Actually, Panda pumps have been living in the whirlpool of unfair competition for a long time," said Chi Sung, president of Panda Group, and said, "Infringement of patents on pump technology alone has a dozen or so a year!" Xue Cong introduced the writer to the author: “Since the beginning of infringement of intellectual property rights, it has been reduced to today's situation. Panda Water Pumps deeply feel that it is difficult for private enterprises to defend their rights. Because you do not take criminal measures, it is very difficult for you to treat infringers.” said Chi Xuecong. As a growing private enterprise, justice rights protection will be one of the key tasks of Panda in 2007. "We hope to maintain a good relationship with our water supply and drainage counterparts and call on the relevant units to regulate the Water Pump industry and promote fair, equitable and orderly development of the industry."

It is reported that this is a problem facing the pump industry in the domestic construction industry. The development of the industry is not standardized, and infringement cases occur from time to time. On the one hand, companies have inadequate protection of intellectual property rights. On the other hand, investigation and evidence collection and identification of relevant intellectual property infringement cases have a long period. Cases generally take one or two years or even longer, which seriously affects the healthy development of enterprises. Industry experts believe that the orderly development of the pump industry requires the support of industry standards, norms and national policies.
