Patent Infringement Case of Coiled Tubing Reel Device: Innovative Fact-Finding Mechanism Makes Infringement Highly Visible
In a patent infringement case involving a coiled tubing reel device located in remote Xinjiang, the Qingdao IP Court utilized 3D evidence management and blockchain technology to conduct on-site evidence preservation, successfully resolving the proof-of-infringement dilemma for large, immovable equipment.
WISECODE Take
Many business owners mistakenly believe that patent litigation only requires a few photos. However, large industrial equipment in remote areas often faces defeat due to incomplete comparison of technical features. In the case of Jiemou v. Shandong Kemou disclosed by the Qingdao IP Court on September 13, 2026, the device was located in remote Karamay, Xinjiang. The court conducted on-site preservation using a 3D evidence management system, ultimately awarding 300,000 RMB in damages. This means infringers can no longer hide behind geographical or disassembly difficulties. If your products are consumer electronics, you are unaffected. Zhidian recommends equipment manufacturers regularly conduct Patent Portfolio Health Checks to clarify technical boundaries. We suggest two actions: first, gather preliminary evidence showing a high probability of infringement to secure court-ordered preservation; second, maintain complete R&D records to defend against surprise inspections. Technology is breaking geographical barriers, and patent enforcement is no longer limited by space.
