Tulip Innovation Obtains Additional Battery Patent Injunction against Sunwoda Group
BUDAPEST, Hungary, July 24, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- On 17 July 2025, Tulip Innovation won another injunction in German litigation concerning battery electrode and separator technology against the China based Sunwoda Group of companies. The decision issued by the Munich District Court's 7th division adds a third injunction against the Sunwoda Group to two previous injunctions in Germany that were awarded to Tulip by the court in separate cases on 22 May 2025. Tulip is the licensing agent for a portfolio of over 5,000 patents owned by LG Energy Solution and Panasonic Energy, and was represented by Hogan Lovells. The most recent decision arose from Tulip's action against Sunwoda Electronic, Sunwoda Mobility Energy Technology and their German affiliates Sunwoda Europe and Sunwoda Electric Vehicle Battery Germany based on the German part of the European Patent EP 2 378 595 B1. The oral hearing took place on 3 July 2025. The decision in favour of Tulip was handed down two weeks after the hearing, on 17 July 2025, granting Tulip the requested injunctive relief against the batteries at issue. Tulip's requests for additional relief were also granted, including obligations for Sunwoda to recall and destroy any remaining batteries in its direct or indirect possession, pay damages to Tulip in principle, and provide detailed accounting information to enable Tulip to calculate its damages claim. The new injunction underscores the strength and breadth of the battery patent portfolio licensed by Tulip, and confirms that battery manufacturers implementing technology covered by the portfolio will face substantial burdens in litigation if they choose to operate without a license. Giustino de Sanctis, CEO of Tulip, noted: "This decision reinforces the value of Tulip's program and demonstrates our commitment to upholding fair and competitive market conditions in the battery industry. Tulip looks forward to discussing broad licenses under the portfolio with all companies active in lithium-ion battery manufacturing." Andreas von Falck, Hogan Lovells Partner, added: "We are very pleased with this confirmation of the strength of Tulip's patent position by the Munich District Court. The patent in this case has a maximum term of 21 December 2029. The decision is well reasoned and we are confident that the decision will stand on appeal." The patent asserted relates to the combination of electrodes and a battery separator, an important element for the safety and performance of a car battery. The batteries at issue in the case are specific models used in the Dacia Spring but the patent is applicable to any battery model to the extent that it makes use of the patented technology. The decision is immediately enforceable against the provision of security but remains subject to appeal by Sunwoda, and Sunwoda has filed a separate nullity action relating to the patent that is pending. Tulip is represented in the proceedings by a Hogan Lovells team including Dr. Andreas von Falck, Dr. Alexander Klicznik, Dr. Roman Würtenberger, Dr. Markus Kuczera, Lea Gröblinghoff, Dr. Michael Plagge and Dr. Yun-Suk Jang. Sunwoda is represented by A&O Shearman.

Does Your Kitchen Still Have a ‘Boob Light'? Let's Change That
is the commerce writer at Eater, and an award-winning writer with bylines in GQ, VICE, The Daily Beast, and other publications. A curious home cook with a deep love of Polish cabbage rolls, her devotion to food service journalism knows no bounds. I love my apartment, but I have one-sided beef with my kitchen ceiling light. As a renter, the landlord-decreed overhead light — aka a 'boob light,' sconce, flush mount; a jezebel by any other name would still look as tacky — is just one those things that we, as the renting serfdom, have had to accept. They're ubiquitous, inescapable, and wildly dated, but replacing mine felt like a complicated or even Herculean task. Recently, however, Instagram started serving me ads for a brand called Tulip that claims to make renter-friendly, easy-to-install flush mounts: Tulip's solution seems simple: Why not just cover up your big, fugly landlord light with a slightly bigger, beautiful linen shade? And that simplicity speaks my language. Tulip's approach also seems to be part of a larger influx of DIY, renter-friendly home improvements on the design scene; as someone who is constantly redecorating and adjusting details in her home, I've made note of the rising popularity of peel-and-stick wallpaper, stick-on backsplash tiles, and instant-upgrade sconces from brands such as Poplight that are designed to make installation as simple as sticking on a Command hook. Depending on your DIY bandwidth, there are quite a few solutions for swapping out, or at least improving the appearance of, your unsightly flush mount boob light. You can start with a (mostly) pre-assembled lamp, such as this Nancy Meyers-esque linen option from Joss & Main, or this flush-mount with a gold interior, and there are plentiful under-5-minute-long tutorials on YouTube that will virtually hold your hand through the installation process. On the other hand, if you're like me and your bandwidth for DIY work stretches not much farther than a coat of chalk paint and a beginner's drill, I have also found a selection of extremely chic, extremely idiot-proof flush-mount swaps that require no fiddling with cables, snipping of wires, or even drilling. Whether you're semi-handy or not handy at all, these are the best easy-to-install flush mount swaps that look way more expensive than they are. Installing this shade is as easy as sticking a Post-It on a wall Tulip's Gem line is inspired by the delicate glow of paper lanterns, and comes in a dozen colorways — including the toile Gem Caledonia, which would be especially charming in a kitchen. The versatility of the natural colorway has sold me, and installation is as easy as using either peel-and-stick adhesives or a set of drywall screws, both of which are provided by the brand. A scalloped shade brings romance into the kitchen This floral-print flush mount can bring some much-welcome greenery into your kitchen all year round. It does entail some tinkering that goes beyond a peel-and-stick approach, but the instructions are very straightforward and the kit comes with everything you need to get the job done in just a few minutes. Gathered fabric can soften a space Stripes are also having a bit of a home decor moment right now, particularly in the form of all the striped, cottage-ready linens and tablecloths dominating design blogs and brands (looking at you, Pig in a Blanket). I would even go so far as to call them the 2025 inheritor of the check print trend — and this gathered fabric flush mount light cover looks like a Martha's Vineyard vacation home guest bed skirt for your ceiling. Your vibe is a little more mid-century modern This no-tools-needed recessed light shade is very Topanga Canyon circa 1977, and it's under $50. Best of all, no tools are required at all to install it. Now go bask in the glow of your non-Landlord Special kitchen light. Bye, boob light.

Meet Yash Raj's actress who worked with Salman Khan, gave no hit films, disappeared from industry forever, now works as..., her name is...
Many stars made their blockbuster debut but then eventually vanished from the industry. Similarly, this actress, whom we will discuss, made her debut under the Yash Raj banner. Despite working with big names, this actress couldn't make a mark in the industry. If all these cues don't ring a bell, then let us tell you we are talking about none other than Tulip Joshi. Who is Tulip Joshi? Tulip Joshi made her Bollywood debut in 2002 with the film Mere Yaar Ki Shaadi Hai, which also featured Jimmy Shergill and Uday Chopra, the younger son of veteran filmmaker Yash Chopra. After her first film, Tulip Joshi appeared in the film Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women in 2003. However, the movie was a huge flop. The actress was taken aback when Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women was labelled a disaster. And just as Tulip Joshi began to recover from the setback, three of her subsequent films also turned out to be box office flops. Apart from Hindi films, Tulip also worked in Kannada, Punjabi, Telugu, and Malayalam films. She was last seen opposite Salman Khan in Jai Ho, which was released in 2014. What is Tulip Joshi Doing Now? Now, Tulip lives away from the world of glitz and glamour. She tied the knot with Captain Vinod Nair, who served in the Indian Army as a commissioned officer for 6 years. The couple now runs a business and serves as directors.

Photographer examines Miami's public art through a dynamic lens
Miami is full of unsung public artworks, from the tulip sculpture outside the West Transfer Station landfill to the field of nuclear submarine fins at Pelican Harbor Marina. Why it matters: A new book from photographer Robin Hill celebrates Miami-Dade County's Art in Public Places program, which since 1973 has helped transform urban landscapes into open-air art exhibits through art acquisitions and commissions funded by the county. In the book, "That's the Way I See It: Miami's Public Art Through a Unique Lens," Hill utilizes Intentional Camera Movement — a technique where the camera is moved during exposure — to create dreamy interpretations. Driving the news: The book, designed and published by EXILE Projects, highlights 50 standout public artworks from multiple public collections, which Hill transforms with his dizzying camera work. It's expected to be published in September via Hill's website and other local bookstores and museums, with the hardcover edition limited to a first edition of 500 copies. What they're saying: "Miami's public art has turned the city into an outdoor museum that attracts millions of locals and tourists in its own right, and honoring this legacy through That's the Way I See It has been one of the true joys of my life," Hill says in a statement. Zoom in: Some of the pieces featured in the book include "Tulip" by Karel Appel, "The Fin Project: From Swords into Plowshares" by John T. Young and Tobias Rehberger's " Obstinate Lighthouse," which the city of Miami Beach purchased for South Pointe Park.
