For this, Apple said that the patents owned by the small i robot should be invalid. In November 2012, the company filed an application with the Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Office, requesting that the patent rights of Xiaoyi Robot be invalid. However, in September 2013, the Patent Reexamination Board of the State Intellectual Property Office made a decision to maintain the effective decision of the small i robot patent.
Apple subsequently initiated an administrative lawsuit against the State Intellectual Property Office. In July 2014, the court made a verdict on the case and Apple lost the case.
