Honda to sue in China over canceled SUV patent

Reuters / March 22, 2006 - 10:00 am

SHANGHAI -- Japan's Honda Motor Co. said on Wednesday it plans to sue
the Chinese property rights authority for terminating patent protection
for its latest CR-V model in China.

China's State Intellectual Property Office decided to cancel the patent
earlier this month after deciding the model was too similar to Honda's
first CR-V launched in 1995, Honda said in a statement.

The authority granted Honda a Chinese patent in 2002 for the exterior
design of the sport utility vehicle, which it has manufactured in China
in a venture with Dongfeng Motor Group Co. Ltd. since 2004.

Honda has sold 2.4 million CR-Vs in over 160 countries worldwide since
launching the model in 1995, it said.

Beijing has pledged to protect intellectual property rights, a thorny
issue between China, the United States, and other countries that accuse
Chinese firms of widely copying Western products -- sometimes from
partners in joint venture projects.

Fuck haonda, givem back some of their own medicine
