Last year we have informed you that a Chinese company called Shenzhen Baili filed a lawsuit against Apple with it allegedly copying the iPhone 6 design from the defunct Baili 100C smartphone. After the lawsuit was filed, the Beijing authorities decided that the Cupertino company was indeed infringing Shenzhen Baili's patent rights, and thus banned the sale of the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus in the market there. However Apple appealed against the decision, so he did not have to stop selling his phones in the Beijing market.
“The Court reversed the decision of the Bureau and recognizes that Apple did not infringe the patent filed by Shenzhen Baili,” the court declared.

A Beijing court has now reversed its decision, recognizing that the iPhone 6's features are completely different from the 100C, making the two phones easily distinguishable in the eyes of consumers. With this ruling, the court has buried Shenzhen Baili, a company that has been labeled a patent troll. Its parent company was Digione, which collapsed due to fierce competition, unnecessary waste of investment money and mismanagement.
Lawyers Applu was relieved and for Apple it is already the umpteenth victory, in the past he won for example over Nokia and Qualcomm.

Tim's answer towards Shenzhen Baili…. "Sorry like" :D
The Baili 100C is an ugly phone, unlike the iPhone. As iPhone It definitely doesn't look like it.
