OFweek Smart Home Network News Recently, the domestic air-conditioning giants of the United States and Gree Group's patent wars have attracted much attention in the market.
After Gree sued U.S. air-conditioners for infringing on their utility model patent rights and claimed 50 million yuan, U.S. immediately "counterattacked" and successively initiated three lawsuits against Gree air-conditioners in Guangzhou and Suzhou, accumulating claims of 40 million yuan. However, things are not finished yet. On the morning of July 6, the reporter learned from Midea's air-conditioning that Midea filed a lawsuit against the Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court and sued Gree for infringing on its "Axial Wind Wheel" invention patent and claiming 10 million yuan.

It is understood that the patent right was granted in 2009. Midea Air Conditioning has been paying annual fees as required, and is now in legal protection. At present, the Guangzhou Intellectual Property Court has accepted the case.
This is the fourth lawsuit initiated by Midea Air-Conditioning for the "counterattack" of Gree air-conditioning.
On June 20th, Gree Electric Appliances announced that it was suing the US "Refrigeration King" series of air conditioners for infringing its utility model patent rights and claiming 50 million yuan. Subsequently, the United States air-conditioning anger and "counterattack", June 21 ~ 26 consecutively in Suzhou, Guangzhou, Gree infringed on its invention patents and utility model patents on the Gree air-conditioning initiated three lawsuits, a total of 40 million yuan claims. On July 6, Midea filed a fourth lawsuit against Gree again.
US air-conditioning related sources told reporters that the US air-conditioning will also mention more of the patent infringement lawsuit against Gree air-conditioning, but the specific content and time, the number to be accepted by the court.
For the continuous "counter-appeal" action of Midea Air Conditioning, the reporter contacted Gree Electric related parties to seek response, but did not receive a reply before the press release.
During the peak sales season of air conditioners, the patent war provoked by Gree Electric Appliances was interpreted by the market as related to the intense competition in the market. The reporter noted that Gree's 2016 annual report showed that last year, the company's operating income was 1080 billion yuan, of which air-conditioning business revenue reached 88.1 billion yuan, an increase of 5.22%; and the United States last year's revenue was 159 billion yuan, air-conditioning The sales volume of parts and components was 66.8 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 3.55%. It is worth noting that Gree Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. accounted for 81% of air-conditioning last year, and air-conditioning is still the "big head" of Gree's revenue. However, with the expansion of its own scale, Midea Group's revenue from air-conditioning and parts and components business has dropped to 42%. At the same time, the United States is also in the field of air conditioning Gree "strong pursuit."
However, there are also views that the two giants have started the patent warfare to illustrate that corporate competition has risen to a new height. Household appliances companies have increased their awareness of independent intellectual property rights and the means of competition have also begun to be legalized.
