China New Aviation Industry has filed four lawsuits against CATL and other companies for patent infringement, seeking damages of over 1 billion yuan. The lawsuits, filed with the Hubei and Jiangsu High People's Courts, allege infringement of patents related to battery devices, battery packs, and liquid-cooled plate battery modules.
Case Breakdown:
- Case 1: Battery device and assembly method (Patent No. 202210155731.8) - Seeking 150 million yuan in compensation and 2 million yuan for rights protection.
- Case 2: Battery pack and battery device (Patent No. 202210302091.9) - Similar demands as Case 1.
