Chinese Regime Denies Trademark Using Vice Premier’s First Name
The blacklist of trademarks using names of Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials has been expanded again following a rejection of the “Chunhua” trademark, owing to its association with Chinese Vice Premier Hu Chunhua.
A “Notice of Trademark Rejection” issued by China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) has been circulating on the internet lately, catalyzed by CNIPA’s decision to turn down the trademark request applied by a company named Chunhua on June 29, 2020.
The official reason for the trademark’s denial, as outlined by the Notice, was that the company’s logo contained the word, “Chunhua,” and “Hu Chunhua” was an incumbent member of the Politiburo of the CCP Central Committee and a vice premier of the State Council. Accordingly, its use as a trademark was, “likely to produce adverse social influence.”
Fendi Wins at Shanghai High People’s Court in Outlet Reseller Case Wednesday, March 10, 2021
On March 4, 2021, the Shanghai High People’s Court announced a ruling in favor of the Italian fashion brand Fendi Co., Ltd., which was established in 1925 and later acquired by LVMH Group. Fendi had sued Pioneer Capital Outlets (Kunshan) Commercial Development Co., Ltd. (首创奥特莱斯（昆山）商业开发有限公司) and Shanghai Yilang International Trade Co., Ltd. (上海益朗国际贸易有限公司) for trademark infringement and unfair competition over the use of the Fendi name on storefronts and marketing material. Despite only reselling authentic Fendi products, the Court found the two defendants infringed Fendi’s service mark G1130243, which constituted unfair competition. The Court awarded 350,000 RMB (~$53,760) and Yilang closed the shops in question.
