VStarcam Wins Patent Dispute: Opponent’s Invention Patent Fully Invalidated

近日，国家知识产权局针对一起跨境电商专利侵权纠纷作出正式裁定，宣告投诉方所持多摄像头图像采集方法发明专利全部权利要求无效，深圳市小鹰视界智能有限公司本次专利维权取得全面胜利，为跨境安防行业知识产权应对提供典型参考案例。

Recently, the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) issued a ruling on a cross-border e-commerce patent infringement dispute, declaring all claims of the complainant’s invention patent regarding multi-camera image acquisition methods invalid. Shenzhen VStarcam Technology Co., Ltd. has achieved a comprehensive victory in this patent defense, establishing a benchmark for intellectual property (IP) strategy within the global security industry.

据了解，本次纠纷起源于2025年10月25日，小鹰视界旗下产品在海外跨境电商平台遭到专利侵权投诉。投诉方手持授权发明专利，主张小鹰视界在售监控产品落入其专利保护范围，要求平台下架相关商品并索取经济赔偿。

The dispute originated on October 25, 2025, when VStarcam’s products were hit with a patent infringement complaint on overseas cross-border e-commerce platforms. The complainant, holder of a granted invention patent, alleged that VStarcam’s surveillance products fell within the scope of their patent protection and demanded the delisting of related listings along with financial compensation.

收到平台投诉通知后，小鹰视界第一时间组织技术、知识产权与法务团队开展技术比对，梳理完整证据材料主动与投诉方开展协商沟通，清晰举证双方产品技术方案存在本质区别，劝说对方主动撤销投诉。但投诉方坚信自身专利稳定性强、保护范围宽泛，始终拒绝和解，双方协商渠道彻底中断。

Upon receiving the platform notification, VStarcam immediately mobilized its technical, IP, and legal teams to conduct a thorough technical comparison. After compiling comprehensive evidence, the company proactively engaged in negotiations with the complainant, clearly demonstrating that the technical solutions of both parties’ products were fundamentally distinct and urging the withdrawal of the complaint. However, convinced of the robustness and broad scope of their patent, the complainant rejected any settlement, leading to a complete breakdown in discussions.

在跨境行业多数企业遭遇专利投诉，普遍选择下架产品、私下和解止损的行业现状下，小鹰视界选择主动启动专利无效宣告程序，正面维护自身合法经营权益。

While most enterprises in the cross-border industry typically choose to delist products and settle privately to limit losses upon receiving patent complaints, VStarcam took the initiative to file a patent invalidation proceeding to safeguard its legitimate business rights and interests.

一、快速研判锁定证据，25天内提交无效申请

I. Rapid Evidence Evaluation & Invalidation Application Submission Within 25 Days

沟通和解失败后，企业内部技术、法务团队同步开展深度专利溯源核查，重点检索涉案专利申请日之前公开的行业技术资料。经全面检索研判确认，该专利核心技术特征 —— 多摄像头无线控制、多类型镜头同步图像采集，早已在行业公开文献中完整披露，属于现有成熟通用技术，并不具备专利创造性。

Following failed settlement talks, VStarcam’s internal technical and legal teams conducted an in-depth prior-art investigation into the patent, focusing on retrieving publicly available industry technical materials predating the patent’s filing date. Comprehensive research and evaluation confirmed that the core technical features of the patent —wireless control of multiple cameras and synchronous image capture via various types of lenses—had been fully disclosed in public industry literature as established common prior art, lacking inventiveness required for patent authorization.

基于完整的现有技术证据链，小鹰视界在收到侵权投诉后的第25天，正式向国家知识产权局提交该发明专利的无效宣告请求，高效完成维权前置筹备工作。

Supported by a complete chain of prior art evidence, VStarcam officially submitted a request for invalidation of the subject invention patent to CNIPA just 25 days after receiving the infringement complaint, efficiently completing all preliminary preparations for IP defense.

二、历经半年多轮审理，涉案专利全部权利要求被推翻

II. Six-Month Multi-Round Review: All Patent Claims Overturned

自无效申请提交后，双方进入长达约6个月的多轮书面质证阶段。小鹰视界团队针对涉案专利每一项权利要求逐一拆解举证，充分论证专利全部技术要点均已被现有技术公开，不存在创新突破，不满足发明专利授权法定条件。

 The case then entered a roughly six-month phase of written submissions and evidence exchange. VStarcam’s team systematically dismantled each claim of the contested patent, providing exhaustive evidence to demonstrate that all its technical aspects had been disclosed by prior art, lacking any innovative breakthrough and thus failing to meet the statutory requirements for invention patent grants.

2026年4月21日，国家知识产权局组织双方开展口头审理，双方当庭就技术差异、专利创造性等核心焦点展开辩论。经过完整审查流程，官方于 2026年5月出具最终审查决定，正式宣告该涉案发明专利全部权利要求无效。

On April 21, 2026, CNIPA held an oral hearing for both sides, where the two parties debated core issues including technical differences and patent inventiveness. After a full review process, the authority issued a final examination decision in May 2026, formally declaring all claims of the disputed invention patent invalid.

本次维权全程，小鹰视界线上在售产品均未下架，国内外市场销售业务未受到任何冲击，实现维权、经营两不误。

Throughout the entire defense process, none of VStarcam’s online products were delisted, and the company’s domestic and overseas sales operations remained completely unaffected, enabling parallel progress of business operation and IP defense.

三、完备知识产权体系，构筑企业跨境经营护城河

III. Robust IP Portfolio Builds a Moat for Cross-Border Operations

本次专利无效胜诉，并非单一维权事件，背后依托企业长期搭建的完善知识产权布局。公开资料显示，小鹰视界自2011年成立以来，深耕视觉安防赛道15年，累计持有知识产权400件以上，其中发明专利达116件，形成覆盖产品硬件、图像算法、多目摄像、低功耗等全链条自主技术壁垒。

This successful patent invalidation ruling is no isolated case, backed by the company’s long-standing, comprehensive intellectual property portfolio. Public records show that founded in 2011, VStarcam has specialized in visual security solutions for 15 years, holding over 400 intellectual property rights in total, including 116 invention patents. The company has built a full-chain proprietary technical barrier covering product hardware, image algorithms, multi-lens camera systems and low-power consumption technologies.

行业业内人士表示，跨境电商赛道专利恶意投诉频发，大量中小厂商因缺乏专利储备、技术研判能力不足，遭遇投诉后只能被动妥协。而小鹰视界能够在短时间内完成专利有效性判定、自主完成全套无效流程，核心在于企业建立了技术研发、证据检索、法务应诉一体化知识产权闭环体系，既能做到不侵犯他人知识产权，也具备抵御恶意专利投诉的完整能力。

Industry insiders note that malicious patent complaints are rampant across cross-border e-commerce. Many small and medium-sized manufacturers lack patent reserves and professional technical evaluation capabilities, leaving them no choice but to yield passively when targeted by complaints. VStarcam’s ability to assess patent validity and independently complete the full invalidation procedure within a short timeframe stems from its integrated closed-loop IP system covering R&D, evidence retrieval and legal litigation. This framework not only ensures the company avoids infringing third-party IP but also equips it with full capacity to fend off malicious patent claims.

企业相关负责人表示，此次维权胜诉，不仅彻底消除单一专利带来的经营风险，也印证了自研技术与知识产权储备对出海制造企业的关键价值。未来企业将持续加码技术研发与专利布局，依托完善的知识产权防护体系，保障旗下产品在全球190 多个国家和地区稳定合规流通，为全球经销商、跨境合作伙伴规避专利纠纷风险。 

A company representative stated that this victory completely eliminates operational risks arising from this single patent and validates the critical value of self-developed technologies and patent reserves for export manufacturers. Moving forward, VStarcam will continue to ramp up R&D investment and patent deployment. Leveraging its comprehensive IP protection system, the company will guarantee compliant and stable circulation of its products across more than 190 countries and regions worldwide, helping global distributors and cross-border partners steer clear of patent dispute risks.
