Is the Landwind X7 still being sold?
1 Answers
The currently available models are all 1.5T versions, and they are still being sold. In the design patent lawsuit between Jaguar Land Rover and Jiangling Holdings, Jaguar Land Rover ultimately prevailed. This patent lawsuit was triggered by the Landwind X7's "borrowing" from the Land Rover Evoque, resulting in an overly similar appearance. December 21, 2010: The Land Rover Range Rover Evoque model was publicly exhibited at the Guangzhou International Auto Show; November 28, 2018: The Patent Reexamination Board and Land Rover appealed to the Beijing High People's Court. In the final judgment, the court revoked the ruling made by the Beijing Intellectual Property Court on the grounds that "the aforementioned improvements did not make the overall visual effect of this patent significantly different from the comparative design." March 22, 2019: The Chaoyang District Court in Beijing ruled that all sales, manufacturing, and marketing of the Landwind X7 must cease immediately, and compensation must be paid to Jaguar Land Rover. Due to a nearly one-month delay in uploading the electronic version of the court's judgment documents, the specific details of the ruling are not yet known. However, since both Landwind and Land Rover's design patents were invalidated, the judgment may have been based on relevant provisions of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law.
