In a recent turn of events Xiaomi prevailed at the Beijing IP Court in an SEP case brought against it by KPN. The Dutch telecom’s action was being watched by some as a test case – one of just a few we know about where a foreign firm was seeking to enforce an SEP against a Chinese company in Chinese litigation.

After three years, Xiaomi has seen off the suit at first instance in what statistics say is a very pro-plaintiff venue.

There is now more patent litigation in China than any other country in the world, and pro-patent courts are attracting a growing number of foreign litigants.

So what can you do to ensure that you fight the trend and prevail at the ‘pro-plaintiff’ court?
