台湾台北科大智财所林同学

一、实习动机及缘由

研究所合作之实习机构多数为律师事务所，仅有华讯公司一间为知识产权顾问公司，其业务范围不只涵盖传统诉讼业务，更有专利分析、智财策略等顾问服务，是很新进的产业，台湾目前较少听闻。学生有意向更新兴且迎合国际潮流的产业观摩学习，因此选择华讯知识产权公司作为实习机构。

另外，华讯公司位于中国大陆南京，其产业运作模式皆有别于台湾公司，学生希望藉由实习机会，见识中国大陆知识产权领域之发展，也作为台湾产业现状之对比，而切身在南京生活的两个月，也是十分难得的体验。

二、实习内容概述

学生之实习工作分配入市场营销部门，主要协助公司文件整理编排等事务，如简报、电子邀请函之制作，另外由于学生有美编设计、剪辑等特殊技能，也负责公司之宣传文宣版面设计、中秋贺卡设计、公司介绍影片剪辑等。

第二个月，学生接手公司之自媒体工作，包含：电子报、微信公众号、官方网站、社交网站等平台之管理，负责编辑制作文章、发布等事项。

公司定时举办研讨会、路演活动，促进学术界及产业界之交流，学生协助会议之进行，如摄影拍照等工作，另一方面，亦可聆听演讲者之演说。

三、对实习机构产业的了解

顾问公司与律师事务所非常不同，并非替客户打法律诉讼，而是为客户的智能财产产品，透过产品分析，拟定一项最有优势、防止他人侵权，而保障自身权益的方案。比如专利有效性分析，即是评估专利被事后撤销的可能性高低，以提前确认目标专利是否有效，亦得协助客户设法撤销掉其竞争对手的专利，以清除客户在产品销售上之障碍。而专利侵权分析，于攻击面，得评估他人产品落入我方专利而构成侵权的机率﹔于防御面，得确认产品是否有侵权之可能，或事前提供客户进行回避设计之咨询顾问。

四、结论及自我期许

尽管学生也有校内工读的经验，但相较于产业界，学校的环境堪称舒适圈，老师对学生的包容性很高。而产业界不同于学校，工作若无按时且高质量的完成，稍有延误即可能影响公司的活动规划，每个人的工作都十分重要。而同事间平日亲切友善之余，在公事上依然不会有丝毫妥协，需要所有人全力以赴。透过这次实习，可以提前接触繁忙的产业界，了解自身的诸多不足，以在未来一来的在学期间，充实自我。

中国大陆南京的实习经利，让我体验有别于台湾的竞争环境，以适应国际化的智慧财产领域。另方面验证自己一年来的学习成果，让理论知识可以更贴合实务工作。

相对于传统法学生毕业即投身于国考，并多从事律师或公部门的司法实务工作，智财所培育跨领域整合之专业人才，透过多元的实习管道，让学生可以提前思考毕业后就业，除了传统国考的出路，从业于企业法务部门，或是更新兴的知识产权顾问公司，有着更自由且宽广的选择。

Electronic Arts pledges free use for five accessibility patents

Electronic Arts pledges free use for five accessibility patents Recently, Electronic Arts (EA) announced a patent pledge that gives other companies and developers free access to five of its current accessibility-related patents and technology. The company promised not to enforce against any party for infringing any of the listed patents. Instead, EA hopes to encourage “innovation” and build new features that make video games more inclusive on a much larger scale by opening up the patents. Electronic Arts (EA) is an American video game company founded in 1982. The company owns many popular and famous games, such as The Sims, SimCity, Apex Legends, Madden NFL and FIFA. Each of the games has more than 30 or 50 million sales volume. Significantly, esports involves FIFA and Apex Legends into the event list. Apex Legends has up to 1 billion players, and it is so popular that it has a Switch version. Within the freely available patents, one of which grabs everyone’s attention -- Apex Legends’ ping system (patent No. US 11097189). The ping system in Apex Legends, which excellently allows players to make communication and teamwork quick and easy without hearing or speaking, has been praised both as an impressive alternative to voice chat and as a great accessibility feature for players with a variety of disabilities. The other patents include the technology widely used in the FIFA and Madden NFL. The innovations can automatically detect and modify colors (patent No. US 10118097 and CN 107694092) and contrast ratios (patent No. US 10878540) to improve gamers’ visibility with colorblindness and low vision. Furthermore, one of the patents relates to personalized sound technology, helping players with hearing issues by modifying or creating music based on their preferences (patent No. US 10790919). The code of the mentioned technology is published on EA’s GitHub, and it is open to all developers. Thus, the developers can use it or adapt it for their games without spending the costs to research. It is good that EA shares the patents for free use and aims to create an accessibility-increased gaming environment for players. However, it is not “unconditional” to use the listed patents. In the pledge, EA mentioned that it may terminate the promise for a specific party which files a patent infringement lawsuit or other patent proceedings against EA. We can see parts of EV’s ambition behind the announcement—to build a large game developer league and a community of shared interests.

Types of patents that are easily overlooked- Design Patent

Types of patents that are easily overlooked- Design Patent In recent years, as the public’s awareness of intellectual property has increased, people have begun to consciously use the patent law to protect their intellectual property rights. However, in the process of implementation, they often only focus on invention patent and utility model patent, and tend to ignore the protection of design patent. Recently, Midea sued Haotaitai for two models of CXW-300-D998 and CXW-300-D908 Haotaitai brand range hoods In the case of suspected infringement of its design patent (patent number: ZL201930621598.X), the Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court made a first-instance judgment after hearing that it determined that the two products of Haotaitai constituted infringement, and ordered it to immediately stop the infringement and compensate Midea, The company's economic losses and reasonable expenses totaled 360,000 yuan. In fact, appearance infringement cases have occurred from time to time before, such as: "Molly" blind box design patent case, "Siemens" switch design patent infringement dispute case received a compensation of 6 million yuan, three Casio watch design patents were infringed Received a compensation of 8.8 million yuan and so on.

Colopl Settles Patent Infringement Lawsuit with Nintendo by Paying $30 Million

Colopl Settles Patent Infringement Lawsuit with Nintendo by Paying $30 Million This August, Nintendo and a game developer Colopl announced that they have settled for patent infringement regarding White Cat Project (Shironeko Project in Japanese), a smartphone game developed by Colopl. Although both companies did not publicly share exact details of the settlement, at least it is sure that Colopl agreed to pay 3.3 billion yen (about US$30.2 million) as the settlement fee for the proceedings, including the future license of Nintendo's patents. How did the battle begin? Being developed and published by a Japanese game developer, Colopl, White Cat Project is a free-to-play action role-playing game for Android and iOS systems. The mobile game was launched in July 2014 as well as got a television anime adaptation in 2020. It is incredibly popular to have more than 50 million downloads. Furthermore, the game is set to receive a Switch version titled "Shironeko New Project". In September 2016, Nintendo noted the Colopl's game and considered that the game had infringed on several of Nintendo's technology patents. The two companies communicated with each other for over a year; however, Nintendo did not accept the explanations from Colopl, and Nintendo filed a lawsuit against Colopl at the beginning of 2018. Nintendo claimed that Colopl infringed 6 of its patents. These patents protect touch-screen joystick functionality (patent no. JP3734820), multiplayer connectivity (patent no. JP5595991, JP6271692), confirmation screens in sleep mode (patent no. JP4010533), character attacks based on touch input locations (patent no. JP4262217), and a shadow effect placed on characters hidden behind the game geometry (patent no. JP3637031). These patents almost cover various ways of game technology, especially the patent JP5595991 and JP6271692. Their patent family is wide-reaching, and many divisional applications of the family are pending in Japan. They protect a communication game system and its related devices. It is not easy to detect the patent's existence and boundary since this kind of hardcore technique is so common in the gaming field and our daily lives. The five-year patent war has been settled. After a five-year dispute, the situation appeared to turn in Nintendo's favor as the Switch maker increased its monetary demands, which convinced Colopl to strike a deal that lets it use the disputed patents. Furthermore, a Switch version of White Cat Project remains in the works at Colopl. With the extraordinary losses of Colopl, the legal battle between the two companies came to an end.
