The Final Decision Goes in favor of KENWOOD at the Design Infringement Lawsuit against HYT in China

We are pleased to announce that the Beijing High People's Court ruled out on March 18th, 2005 entirely in KENWOOD's favor as regards our lawsuit against Shenzhen HYT Science & Technology Co., Ltd. ( HYT), by maintaining the prior judgment at the Beijing Second Intermediate People's Court on September 20, 2004 while refusing HYT's appeal to such prior decision. After 4 years of trial, this is the final judgment. KENWOOD's justice has been thus demonstrated.


[Essence of the Judgment]

  • Shenzhen HYT Science & Technology Co., Ltd. shall immediately suspend all production and sales of the TC-278/378 radio equipment.
  • Shenzhen HYT Science & Technology Co., Ltd. shall indemnify KENWOOD Corporation for the amount of RMB 200,000 (approximately US$24,000).
  • The litigation cost shall be borne by HYT Science & Technology Co., Ltd.
HYT is obliged to make such payment within 7 days after the receipt of the decision. In the event that HYT does not pay, we will apply for the compulsory execution.
