嚴正聲明
一間名為「香港美科數碼科技有限公司」(以下簡稱「美科」)的公司所出售的防水外殼MK-WP,嚴重侵犯本公司Seashell系列SS-1萬用防水相機殼的知識產權。於2015年6月18日,廣州市中級人民法院已就上述侵權案進行判決。
該侵權產品侵犯了本公司已註冊的實用新型專利「用戶可配置的相機防水裝置」。2012年3月,本公司的代理人發現該侵權產品正在廣州的一家商店出售,並在公證人的見證下買下該侵權產品。2012年4月,本公司於廣州市中級人民法院控告美科,案件編號256。經四次法庭審理後,法院於2015年6月18日就本侵權案進行判決,判決書的內容要點如下:
(1) 法院裁定美科侵犯了本公司的專利權;
(2) 美科需就侵犯版權案賠償給本公司。
本公司在此重申不會容忍任何形式的侵權行為。這種質量極低的侵權產品不但損毀本公司的聲譽,嚴重侵害了本公司的經濟利益,更剝奪了客戶使用正版防水外殼去享受水上活動的權利。
本公司建議客戶應透過Seashell官方網站和認可分銷商來購買正版的Seashell產品,詳情請瀏覽本公司網頁www.seashell.hk。
特此通知。

Declaration
A company named “Hongkong Meike Digital Technology Co., Ltd.” (Meike) had offended Seashell’s intellectual property rights by selling a waterproof housing MK-WP, which imitated the design of SS-1 universal underwater camera housing in Seashell series. The infringement case was adjudged by Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court on 18th June 2015.
The foresaid infringing products violated Seashell’s registered utility model patent “User-configurable waterproof camera case”. In March 2012, the infringing product was found in a store of Meike’s product in Guangzhou, and it was bought under the witness of public notary. In April 2012, we sued Meike in Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court, under case number 256. After the fourth court hearing, the court gave the verdict on 18th June 2015. The judgement states:
(1) The court holds that Meike infringed our patent right;
(2) Meike shall pay compensation to us.
We hereby state that we will not tolerate any kind of infringement. Such low quality infringing product ruined our reputation, eroded our economic interests and snatched our customers’ right in having a genuine waterproof housing to enjoy water activities.
We would like to suggest our customers to purchase verified Seashell products through Seashell’s official website and distributors, which can be found at www.seashell.hk.
Declaration is hereby announced.
