2025-11-19
I. Case Introduction 
This case focuses on an innovative luggage leader enterprise. Its revolutionary waterproof luggage became a market hit, but later faced malicious imitation on a scale across the entire industry. ZYIP stepped in at a critical moment and went beyond the traditional维权model， formulating and implementing a three-in-one strategic combination of "cracking down， empowering， and transforming". Through nearly a hundred precise and efficient维权actions， we not only quickly cleared the market and effectively defended the innovative achievements, but also ingeniously turned the infringing party into a partner during the维权process, helping the client achieve a strategic leap from "passive维权" to "active market integration"， transforming the crisis into a major opportunity for brand development. 


II. Case Details 
1. Customer Type/Industry: 
A leading enterprise specializing in innovative luggage design, with forward-looking design and core patent technologies. 


2. Description of customer pain points/problems: 
(1) Massive infringement impact: After the product becomes extremely popular, it faces fierce competition from almost all of its peers, with a wave of copying spreading widely. The market share is rapidly eroded by inferior imitations. 
(2) Lack of confidence in rights protection: They are uncertain about whether patent rights protection will be successful and how to efficiently organize counterattacks to protect the hard-won fruits of innovation. They feel confused and anxious about these issues. 
(3) Damage to innovation value: If not effectively prevented, it will seriously dampen the enthusiasm of enterprises for innovation and undermine their brand image and market competitiveness. 


3. Solutions and Process:
We have formulated a "three-dimensional, highly enforceable, and empathetic" rights protection strategy, and launched a professional package of measures: 
(1) Thunderstorm Operation, Multi-front Precise Strike: 
①Administrative Enforcement (Core Tool): In major infringement hotspots such as Shenzhen, Guangzhou, and Yiwu, joint law enforcement departments carry out swift operations, directly targeting the source factories and sales outlets, and efficiently seizing infringing products. 
② Judicial Litigation (Legal Sword): Initiate patent and trademark lawsuits against stubborn infringers, assert rights, and create judicial deterrence. 
③Property Preservation: Pre-emptively freeze the assets of the infringing party to ensure that the client's rights and interests resulting from the victory in the lawsuit can be realized. 
④ Online crackdown: Conduct comprehensive monitoring of e-commerce platforms, promptly file complaints and remove infringing links, to purify the online environment. 
⑤ Lawyer's letter warns: As a preliminary measure, it is effective in dissuading some potential infringers. 


(2) Beyond safeguarding rights, exploring win-win cooperation:
During the process of safeguarding rights, incorporate business wisdom and transform the scene into a negotiation venue. 
② Through professional communication, we guided some potential infringing enterprises to recognize the value of originality, successfully turning them into the company's offline channel partners, achieving the transformation from adversaries to allies and opening up new growth opportunities. 


4. Results/Data: 
(1) Remarkable achievements in rights protection: Conducted over 100 joint rights protection actions across multiple regions, successfully dismantled the plagiarism industry chain, and significantly improved the market environment. The client's representative highly praised: "We are the most reliable support on the road of rights protection!" 
(2) Direct commercial transformation: The rights protection actions directly led to commercial returns. Just through a few key investigations in Guangzhou, it brought nearly one million yuan in direct revenue for the clients, and successfully established a valuable offline sales network. 
(3) Brand value soared: Through a successful legal battle, it firmly asserted its position as the industry's innovation leader, significantly enhancing the brand's reputation and market influence. 
(4) Industry ecosystem construction: It has set a benchmark for intellectual property protection in the luggage industry, and conveyed a clear message that "innovation is protected and infringement will be punished." 


III. Case Significance 
The success of this case has redefined the level and value of intellectual property rights protection. It demonstrates that top-level intellectual property services should not merely be a "fire brigade" responding to emergencies, but rather the "frontline" and "catalyst" of an enterprise's market strategy. This case achieved three major advancements by deeply integrating legal actions with business strategies: from rights protection to market purging, from market purging to business expansion, and from business expansion to brand building. This not only perfectly safeguarded the client's innovative achievements, but also transformed a potential brand crisis into a strategic victory that integrates the market, strengthens leadership, and enhances brand value. It provides an outstanding model for all innovation-driven enterprises on how to utilize intellectual property tools to achieve market competition.
