Zhejiang Inhe Industrial Co., Ltd. (Inhekids) has achieved a major legal milestone in safeguarding its intellectual property and original designs. On February 7, 2025, the company officially announced that the Zhejiang Provincial Higher People’s Court issued a final, unappealable judgment in favor of Inhekids, successfully overturning a previous instance dispute and rejecting all claims made by a competing domestic manufacturing entity.
The legal victory centers around one of Inhekids’ most recognizable design innovations: the house-shaped preschool storage structure and storage rack. This final judicial ruling confirms Inhekids’ absolute legal ownership of the product’s structural design and sets a powerful precedent for intellectual property protection within the early childhood education furniture sector.
Strict Enforcement of Original Intellectual Property
The patent in question—officially registered with the National Intellectual Property Administration under Patent No. ZL 2024 2 0634096.6 (Grant Publication No. CN 222017967 U)—protects the unique multi-tier layout and structural integration of Inhekids’ house-shaped preschool feeding and storage cabinets.
In early childhood furniture manufacturing, copies and structural replications often compromise material safety and structural stability. By securing this final judgment from the Higher People’s Court, Inhekids has legally verified that its modern, minimalist modular structures cannot be replicated by unauthorized third-party factories. The ruling mandates the immediate rejection of the counterfeiting party’s appeals and enforces strict financial and operational accountability.
Founder-Led Legal Team Demonstrates Factory Accountability
What makes this legal victory exceptional for a B2B source factory is the direct hands-on involvement of the corporate leadership team. Rather than delegating the complex structural design litigation entirely to external commercial law firms, the Inhekids founding design team and executive leadership personally prepared all technical materials, analyzed injection-molded structural differences, and defended the patent directly in court.
“We manage our patent litigation directly because we believe that to eliminate infringement risks fundamentally and provide reliable supply chains for global buyers, our designers must possess absolute mastery over patent laws,” stated the leadership team. “Whether winning or losing, our team stands behind our original molds. This hands-on defense ensures that when international B2B buyers partner with Inhekids for OEM/ODM projects, they face zero intellectual property risks or potential custom clearing disruptions caused by design copycats.”
