The Beijing First Intermediate Court ruled against Apple in a case that pitted it against a Shanghai-based firm and the country’s State Intellectual Property Office’s Patent Review Committee. The court found that the intellectual property rights of Zhizhen Internet Technology, a company that holds several voice recognition patents, were valid. Zhizhen previously had alleged that Apple’s Siri product was based on some of its intellectual property. It sued in 2012. In this particular case, though, Apple had seized the initiative.
