Facts
In 2016 the French National Institute of Origin and Quality (INAO) filed an invalidation action against the trademark 罗曼尼·康帝 (a Chinese transliteration of Romanée-Conti ), which had been registered by a Chinese natural person, Wu Liping, in Class 33. The INAO cited Article 16(1) of the Chinese Trademark Law 2001:
In case… the designated goods of a trademark containing a geographical indication does [sic] not originate from the place as indicated by the geographical indication, [and] thus misleads the public, the trademark shall not be registered and its use shall be prohibited. However, where the registration is obtained in goodwill, it shall remain valid.
