Solemn Statement on the Malicious Lawsuit Filed by Germany's Homag Group Against Our Company

Recently, during our company's participation in a German exhibition, Homag Germany suddenly initiated a so-called 'patent infringement' lawsuit in a local court. Its behavior is shocking and puzzling. After investigation, the involved product design patent (the alternating use of laser and hot melt adhesive edge banding devices) has been widely applied in the industry both in Europe and domestically for a long time. Our company was completely unaware of this patent before, and Homag has never formally communicated with us about this matter. At this sensitive moment, the other party has further spread news about maliciously suing our brand in China, and its actions have gone far beyond the scope of legitimate competition. We cannot help but seriously question: Is it because your company's market performance has been weak in recent years and its competitiveness has declined that you have deliberately pointed the finger at rapidly growing Chinese counterparts? Is this really patent protection, or a carefully planned commercial suppression?

Elon Musk, one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time, once said: 'Only the weak rely on patents.' Patents are usually used as technical blockades to prevent others from following, hindering the rapid dissemination and application of technology. Technological leadership is not determined by patents, but by a company's ability to attract and inspire the world's most talented engineers. Companies should maintain their leading position through rapid innovation rather than relying on patent barriers.

As a 'national brand' that is deeply committed to technology and forging ahead, our company has always been dedicated to breaking the technical blockades of international giants and promoting industrial progress. We are well aware of the hardships of starting a business, but we have always strived hard to provide high-quality, cost-effective Chinese-manufactured products to global customers, allowing the world to share the dividends of technological progress.

Regarding individual organizations or individuals who have taken the opportunity to spread rumors and maliciously slander our company on the Internet recently, especially certain 'foreign compradores', our company has fully collected and fixed relevant evidence, and hereby severely warns them: immediately stop the infringing behavior! Otherwise, our company will resolutely take legal measures to pursue their legal responsibilities and will not show any tolerance!

The road ahead may be rough, and the challenges may be more severe, but the entire Supai Group has an unshakable信念 (conviction). We are determined to become a 'light of domestic products' that illuminates the world and forge a steel backbone supporting national industry! Any unfair suppression and slander will only make Supai people more united, more resilient, and more courageously forge ahead!

Made in China, striving for self-improvement!
