第 3.7 条

Trade Secret Infringement Case

侵犯商业秘密案

In this case, the plaintiffs are Beijing VRB and Hubei VRB, while the 8 defendants include Green Vanacium and the following 7 individuals who were former employees of Beijing VRB: Huang Mianyan, Hu Bo, Zhang Chen, Zhang Zhanzhan, Ma Yitao, Liu Xuedong, and Suo Yangang. The case was filed in November 2023 with the Beijing High Court. VRB is seeking an injunction to stop the defendants from infringing on the former employer’s trade secrets and has claimed damages in the amount of RMB 200 million. The dispute involves 12 trade secrets, including the stack structure, sealing design, test stack, and energy storage system. As of the Execution Date, the second instance trial regarding jurisdictional challenge by defendants has concluded in the plaintiffs’ favor. The case will proceed to trial in the Beijing High Court. Litigation counsel for VRB China anticipates several rounds of hearings, and the first instance judgment is expected to be issued by Beijing High Court before October 2025.

该案的原告是北京VRB和湖北VRB，被告有 8 人，包括Green Vanacium和以下 7 名曾是北京VRB员工的个人：Huang Mianyan, Hu Bo, Zhang Chen, Zhang Zhanzhan, Ma Yitao, Liu Xuedong, 和Suo Yangang。此案于 2023 年 11 月提交北京高级法院。VRB 要求法院下达禁令，制止被告侵犯前雇主的商业秘密，并索赔 2 亿元人民币。该纠纷涉及 12 项商业秘密，包括堆栈结构、密封设计、测试堆栈和储能系统。截至签署日，关于被告提出的管辖权异议的二审庭审已经结束，原告胜诉。该案将在北京高级法院开庭审理。VRB中国的诉讼律师预计将进行多轮听证，预计北京高院将于 2025 年 10 月前做出一审判决。

Litigation for Breach of Fiduciary Duties

违反信托义务的诉讼

Beijing VRB filed a lawsuit in Beijing Tongzhou District Court against the individuals Huang Mianyan, Hu Bo and Ma Yitao for breach of fiduciary duties on April 29, 2024, and against Green Vanadium for damaging the company’s interests, demanding damages in the amount of RMB 30 million. Beijing VRB has successfully frozen the defendant’s property. This has put great pressure on the defendants. They have since raised objections to such property preservation measures. Beijing VRB will deal with it by preparing effective counter arguments.

For the merit of the case, Beijing Tongzhou District Court held the first pre-trial conference on September 25, 2024, where all parties presented their claims and defenses, with evidence being submitted and cross-examined. The Court has scheduled the second pre-trial conference for November 7, 2024, during which the parties will continue submitting and cross-examining supplemental evidence. As the factual matrix of this case is highly complex and intertwined with the trade secret infringement case before the Beijing High Court, the date of trial and first-instance judgment cannot yet be estimated and will depend on the outcome of the second pre-trial conference.

北京VRB于2024年4月29日向北京市通州区法院起诉个人Huang Mianyan, Hu Bo 和Ma Yitao违反信托义务，起诉Green Vanadium损害公司利益，要求赔偿3000万元。北京VRB已成功冻结被告的财产。这给被告带来了巨大的压力。此后，他们对这些财产保护措施提出了反对意见。北京VRB将通过准备有效的反驳来应对。

实体案情是，北京市通州区法院于2024年9月25日举行了第一次庭前会议，各方陈述了各自的主张和抗辩，并提交了证据进行了质证。法院已定于2024年11月7日举行第二次审前会议，在此期间，各方将继续提交和盘问补充证据。由于本案的事实矩阵高度复杂，与北京高等法院审理的侵犯商业秘密案件交织在一起，审判和一审判决的日期尚无法估计，将取决于第二次审前会议的结果

Patent Infringement Litigation

专利侵权诉讼

This case is currently in the preparatory stage and has not yet been filed. The Beijing Intellectual Property Court is the court with competent jurisdiction. The plaintiffs are expected to be Beijing VRB and Hubei VRB, with Green Vanadium as the defendant. VRB China plans to initiate two lawsuits based on two utility model patents related to the stack structure. The litigation documents are being prepared, and litigation counsel expects to file the cases with the Beijing Intellectual Property Court in October 2024. In both lawsuits, VRB China intends to seek an injunction to stop the defendants from infringing, plus RMB 20 million in damages from Green Vanadium.

该案件目前处于筹备阶段，尚未立案。北京知识产权法院是具有管辖权的法院。原告预计为北京VRB和湖北VRB，Green Vanadium为被告。VRB中国计划根据与堆叠结构相关的两项实用新型专利提起两起诉讼。诉讼文件正在准备中，诉讼律师预计将于2024年10月向北京知识产权法院提起诉讼。在这两起诉讼中，VRB中国都打算寻求禁令，以阻止被告侵权，并要求Green Vanadium赔偿2000万元人民币。
