Shanghai: Chinese bike-sharing giant Mobike testified in a Shanghai court that its technical process for unlocking the shared bikes is different from the invention of an auto parts technician surnamed Hu, who sued the company for patent infringement.
“The unlocking process of Mobike, which involves the Mobike App on users’ smartphones, a cloud server and a lock controller on each bike that are all connected via wireless signal, is more complicated than the patent Hu holds,” She Yifeng, attorney for the defendant Mobike (Beijing) Information Technology Co, said at the Shanghai No.3 Intermediate People’s Court.
