Honda Motor Co. has won a lawsuit in Beijing against the Chinese government to restore the Japanese automaker's motor scooter design patent, a company spokeswoman said Monday.
Honda's patent for its popular Chinese-made Stream scooter was canceled in September when a court backed the decision a year earlier by China's State Intellectual Property Office to revoke a patent awarded in 1994.
The Beijing High People's Court overturned the lower court's ruling Friday, company spokeswoman Yuriko Yabe said.
