[Success Case]
Case No. 2012 Min-Zhuan-Su-Zi 62, Intellectual Property Court.
[Decision Digest]
As a result, the plaintiff also denied the authenticity of format of the internet data shown in exhibit 16. However, as all information is electronically disclosed on the internet, although it is hard to judge if the time of its appearance on the screen has been changed by manipulation, considering that the information volume on the internet is huge and the content is comprehensive, there is little chance of manipulation. In addition, there are nine related websites cited in exhibit 16, as the date of information disclosure on these websites is earlier than the filing date of the patent at issue, the possibility of manipulation is even lower. According to the date of disclosure, the information disclosed on these websites has been known to the public. Therefore, the plaintiff’s denial of the authenticity of the format of data on these websites is unreliable.
