A Beijing court rejected Apples challenge to the validity of a Chinese companys speech-recognition patent Wednesday, according to Chinas Xinhua news agency. Apples suit against Zhizhen Network Technology Co. and the State Intellectual Property Office came as a response to another, earlier suit by Zhizhen in 2013. The Shanghai-based company accused the U.S. tech giant of violating its patent for Little I Robot – a chat system developed in 2003 for MSN chat – when i developed Siri.  Though Apples loss clears the way for Zhizhens suit to come back in play, an Apple spokeswoman says the company plans to appeal. Of course, Apple is no stranger to legal disputes in China.
