Shanghai Xiao-I Corporation, an artificial intelligence company, says its patent infringement lawsuit against Apple has concluded.
On July 31, the Shanghai High Court officially concluded the Patent Infringement Case Trial. Shanghai Xiao-i is now awaiting the verdict.
In August 2020, Shanghai Xiao-i was awarded a Chinese patent for a voice assistant similar to Siri. This led the company to revive (again) a lawsuit against Apple.
The company has asked for 10 billion yuan (approximately $1.43 billion) in damages. The company also wants Apple to cease “manufacturing, using, promising to sell, selling, and importing” all products that it says infringe on the patent.
