“The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium” (the “ITC”) and Suzhou Gstarsoft Co. Ltd. (“Gstar”) are pleased to announce that they have reached a full and final global settlement resolving all disputes stemming from the parties’ prior business relationship, including a lawsuit filed by the ITC against Gstar pending in United States District Courts for the District of Oregon, and a lawsuit filed by Gstar against the ITC pending in the Intermediate People’s Court of Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, People’s Republic of China.

“The IntelliCAD Technology Consortium”(“ITC”)和苏州浩辰软件股份有限公司(“浩辰”)很高兴地宣布,双方已在全球范围内,针对由双方先前商业关系引发的所有纠纷(包括目前正在进行的、由ITC在美国俄勒冈联邦地区法院对浩辰发起的诉讼,以及浩辰在中华人民共和国江苏省苏州市中级人民法院对ITC发起的诉讼),达成了全面和最终的和解。

In the United States lawsuit, the ITC had alleged that Gstar misappropriated and improperly used the ITC’s intellectual properties. Gstar denied the allegations, and maintained that it independently developed its products and has independent intellectual property rights. In the Suzhou lawsuit, Gstar sought a declaratory judgment of non-infringement.
在美国的诉讼案件中,ITC声称浩辰不当使用了ITC的知识产权。浩辰否认了ITC的指控,并坚持相关产品由其独立开发,并对相关产品拥有独立的知识产权。浩辰进而在苏州的诉讼案件中请求法院作出确认不侵权的认定。

The parties’ global settlement fully and conclusively resolves their disputes. No party has admitted any wrongdoing or liability, and there has not been any court finding as to the merits of the parties’ lawsuits. However, in order to resolve the disputes completely and avoid any future misunderstandings, the parties entered into a confidential settlement agreement.
双方本次全球范围内的和解全面且最终地解决了双方的纠纷。任何一方均不承认任何不当行为或责任,并且法院也未就双方诉讼案件的实质性内容做出任何认定。为了全面地解决纠纷,并避免任何将来可能产生的误解,双方签订了保密和解协议。

The parties appreciate each other’s efforts in resolving this matter amicably.
双方感谢彼此在友好解决纠纷过程中做出的努力。
