After the star month company in the last 4 months of hard struggle, the end of Chrysler agreed to remove the star month infringement of patent charges, and with the moon to the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) to terminate the investigation, two companies to reach a settlement. Star Month company independent research and development of a full terrain car leisure car, with the full terrain adaptability, easy to control security, ride comfort and many other advantages, access to national design patents. October 2007, the car in the Canton Fair on a hit, by Europe and the United States, Asia and America, many countries and regions of the customer's favor. Soon, Chrysler, one of America's big Three carmakers, was in trouble. Chrysler sued the ITC for the appearance of the star-moon Company's truck, which violated the design of one of its models. Request to the star Month company All Terrain Vehicle Leisure vehicle to launch violates the 337 section The investigation, requests to issue the permanent restraining order, prohibits any infringement the patent the product to sell, the promotion or the transshipment in the United States.

Recently, the Chrysler and the moon together formally to the ITC to apply for the full termination of the Czech Republic truck Illegal 337 section of the case investigation, the two sides jointly signed the relevant agreements and documents, shaking hands.
