HK Investor Rights Concern Group Urges Suspension of CREALITYIPO

The Hong Kong Investor Rights Concern Group (HKIRCG or the Concern Group) called on the Hong Kong Exchanges and Clearing Limited (HKEX) to impose an immediate moratorium on CREALITY (03388.HK), citing material deficiencies in the Company’s prospectus, particularly concerning ongoing intellectual property litigation and risks.Creality’s prospectus states that the Company is not involved in any legal proceedings it believes would have a material adverse effect. However, significant issues have come to light, including:- Ongoing patent infringement litigation with Artec Europe in the United States (Case 1:22-cv-01676), which has progressed unfavourably for Creality. Recent court rulings have rejected key defences advanced by Creality and scheduled the matter for a full jury trial in January 2027. The prospectus’s description of this case is outdated and incomplete. Creality’s PHIP told investors only that the company had filed a motion for summary judgment and that “if our motion is granted, this case will be effectively closed,” while omitting that just 31 days earlier the U.S. federal court had already denied that motion on the two core patents, rejected Creality’s invalidity defenses, excluded its key technical expert, and sent the case to a full jury trial in Artec Europe v. Creality. These developments followed an earlier October 2024 Markman ruling that construed the asserted patent claims in Artec’s favor and materially shaped the subsequent course of the litigation.- Copyright and platform disputes with MakerWorld (Bambu Lab), which has initiated legal action against Creality Cloud over the alleged unauthorised copying and commercial use of thousands of user-generated 3D models.These matters are highly relevant to Creality’s core 3D scanning technology and its growing cloud/platform ecosystem - both central to the Company’s future growth strategy. HKIRCG stresses that once an IPO is completed, unwinding it is extremely difficult and costly.(HK stocks quote is delayed for at least 15 mins.)
