Recently, Xiaomi issued a statement accusing Huawei's Yu Chengdong of making false remarks and misleading the public. The incident stemmed from Yu Chengdong's allusion at the 2023 Pollen Annual Meeting that a friend had plagiarized Huawei's intellectual property. In particular, it was pointed out that friends named Huawei's double-spin waterdrop hinges as aliases"Keel"acts. Xiaomi immediately issued a clarification statement, explaining the origin of the keel hinge and the patented timeline of Huawei's dual-spin waterdrop hinge, and emphasizing the differences between the two in design and structure. The incident sparked discussions and divergent views among many supporters. So, what should we make about this incident?
Xiaomi expressed strong dissatisfaction with Yu Chengdong's remarks at the pollen annual meeting, which they believe seriously misled the public. According to Xiaomi's official clarification statement, Huawei's"The double spin droplets are more chained"The patent was filed later than Xiaomi's"Keel hinge"patents, and there are significant differences in design and structure between the two. Xiaomi pointed out that Yu Chengdong's remarks were completely inconsistent with the facts, and severely criticized and condemned them.
1.The importance of intellectual property protection: Intellectual property is a core element of enterprise innovation and development, especially for technology-based enterprises. In this information age, intellectual property protection is not only related to the interests of enterprises, but also supports the development and innovation ability of the entire industry.
2.Responsibility for speech: As a senior manager and industry leader, Yu Chengdong's speech has a huge influence, and for a company, the authenticity and objectivity of his speech are very important. Any false statements may cause misleading to the public and have a negative impact on the corporate image, so it is essential to be responsible for what they say.
1. Supporters' point of view:
Those who support Yu Chengdong believe that from the timeline, Xiaomi's technology application is late, which can be understood as an improvement of Huawei's technology, not plagiarism. In addition, they also pointed out that the public information on the patent and application timeline, design and structure can clearly prove that Xiaomi did not copy Huawei's double-spin waterdrop hinge. Therefore, they believe that Xiaomi's accusation against Yu Chengdong is groundless and a challenge to Yu Chengdong's authority.
2. Skeptic's point of view:
Skeptics argue that despite the design and structural differences between the two, on the surface, Xiaomi's keel hinge still has similarities with Huawei's dual-spin waterdrop hinge, which makes it impossible to rule out the possibility of plagiarism. In addition, they believe that Yu Chengdong's remarks did not directly name Xiaomi, but only indirectly implied, so Xiaomi's strong response to this may have an element of over-interpretation.
The incident sparked a discussion about technological innovation and intellectual property protection, and also reflected the fierce competition in the industry. As consumers, we should look at such controversies objectively, listen to them without bias, and maintain respect and understanding for different points of view. For enterprises, it is necessary to deal with similar disputes in a fair and objective manner, fully respect intellectual property rights, and assume the responsibility of speech. Ultimately, it is only in an environment of fair competition and innovation that the tech industry can continue to grow and bring better tech products and services to people.
In conclusion, regardless of the final outcome, this incident is a reminder that we should maintain the importance of intellectual property rights, treat speech responsibly, and respect the principle of fair competition. Only in this way can we jointly promote the progress of science and technology and make greater contributions to social development.
