History

Xiao-i (Shanghai Xiao-i Robot Technology Co., Ltd) was founded in Shanghai, China, in 2001. In 2004, it released the world's first chatbot on MSN and Tencent QQ.[11] In the same year, the company applied for an invention patent for this technology, and it was officially granted authorization in 2009, titled "A Chat Robot System" (ZL200410053749.9).[12]

In 2004, Xiao-i launched Xiao-i Chat Robots, which later obtained over 100 million users, on MSN and Tencent QQ.[13] In 2007, Xiao-i was designated as the only partner for Microsoft MSN's 700 million users worldwide in robots and expanded its reach through collaborations with MSN and QQ.[11] In 2008, Xiao-i released intelligent customer service system for China Mobile.[13]

In 2012, Xiao-i launched WeChat based intelligent customer service products for banking industry, serving clients including China Merchants Bank.[14] In 2015, Xiao-i unveiled cloud based open system iBot Cloud and iBot OS, integrating the capabilities of local Cloud Computing with interactive features to create a fully connected household.[5][15] Xiao-i later established its APAC headquarter in Hong Kong and started expanding its businesses into Southeast Asia.[8][16]

In June 2022, Xiao-i developed a standard in affective computing (ISO/IEC JTC1/SC35 WD30150), published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO).[2] On March 9, 2023, Xiao-i went public on the Nasdaq stock exchange.[11] On June 29, 2023, Xiao-i announced the launch of its Hua Zang Universal LLM.[3] On October 26 of the same year, Xiao-i announced the launch of its Hua Zang Universal Large Language Model Ecosystem.[17]

Patent Case

In 2004, Xiao-i filed an application for an invention patent titled "A Chatbot System." The patent was officially granted authorization in 2009 with patent number ZL200410053749.9.[18][19]

In June 2012, Xiao-i contended that Apple Inc.'s integration of Siri in its iPhone 4S has infringed on its patented technology, falling within the scope of protection of its patent No, ZL200410053749.9. Xiao-i then initiated a patent infringement lawsuit against Apple at the First Intermediate People’s Court of Shanghai. In November 2012, Apple filed an administrative review petition with the National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), requesting the invalidation of Patent ZL200410053749.9.[20] By September 2013, the Patent Reexamination Board of CNIPA decided to uphold the validity of Patent ZL200410053749.9. Following the decision, in November of the same year, Apple brought an administrative lawsuit against the Patent Reexamination Board of CNIPA at the First Intermediate People's Court of Beijing, The Court ruled in July 2014 to uphold the decision made by the Patent Reexamination Board maintaining the validity of the patent. Dissatisfied with the ruling, Apple appealed to the Beijing High People's Court.[21][19]

In April 2015, the Beijing High People's Court declared the patent invalid.[22] In May of the same year, Xiao-i appealed to the Supreme People's Court of the People's Republic of China. In 2016, following the decision of the Beijing High People’s Court on the patent invalidity, the First Intermediate People’s Court of Shanghai dismissed Xiao-i’s lawsuit filed back in 2012.[23][24]

On June 28, 2020, the Supreme People's Court of the People's Republic of China rendered a verdict affirming the validity of Xiao-i’s patent ZL200410053749.9. This marked the conclusion of an eight-year-long judicial proceedings initiated by Apple’s request to invalidate Xiao-i’s patent. The final outcomes affirmed and protected the patent in question.[25][21]

In August 2020, Xiao-i again filed a lawsuit against Apple at the Shanghai High People's Court, alleging that Apple's Siri infringed its patent rights and sought RMB 10 billion (USD 1.4 billion) compensation from Apple.[19] The case is currently under review, and information is subject to public disclosure.
