Xiao-I To Appeal Apple Patent Case After Shanghai Court Rulings
On Friday, Xiao-I said it will appeal to China’s Supreme People’s Court after receiving unfavorable first-instance rulings in its long-running patent dispute with Apple over Siri technology.
The Shanghai-based artificial intelligence company disclosed that the Shanghai High People’s Court issued judgments on June 10 in two related cases involving its variable interest entity, Shanghai Xiao-I Intelligent Network Technology Co., Ltd., and Apple.
In the patent infringement case (Case No. (2020) Hu Zhi Min Chu No. 7), the court dismissed all claims filed by Shanghai Xiao-I, which alleged that Apple’s Siri infringed its invention patent, “A Chat Robot System” (Patent No. 200410053749.9).
In a separate non-infringement action (Case No. (2022) Hu Zhi Min Chu No. 3), the court ruled that the specified iPhone models equipped with Siri do not fall within the protection scope of the patent.
