US technology giant Apple asked a Beijing court to strike down a patent ruling by state authorities, as it fights an intellectual property battle with a Chinese firm.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Shanghai-based Zhizhen Network Technology has sued Apple for allegedly infringing its Chinese patent with the “intelligent personal assistant” Siri<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Apple representatives had asked China’s patent review board, which operates under the State Intellectual Property Office, to declare Zhizhen’s original patent invalid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The body rejected the request, and Apple went to Beijing’s Number One Intermediate People’s Court seeking a judicial review.<\/p>\n

Its lawyers told the hearing that Zhizhen’s technology was not original enough or innovative enough to deserve a patent.<\/p>\n

The proceedings ended Thursday afternoon and the chief of the five-judge panel said the court would send the parties its decision at a later date.<\/p>\n

Outside court, Zhizhen’s president said there was “nothing new” in Apple’s arguments, adding he was not afraid of taking on the US giant.<\/p>\n

“Those whose feet are bare do not fear those who wear shoes,” Zhu Pinpin said, using a Chinese saying meaning that those who own little have nothing to lose.<\/p>\n

Zhizhen says its earlier “Xiao i Robot” product works in a similar way and has wide applications.<\/p>\n

Apple chief executive officer Tim Cook said in January last year that he expected China to become his company’s largest market.<\/p>\n

Apple in 2012 paid US$60 million to settle a separate legal dispute with a Chinese firm over the iPad trademark.<\/p>\n
