The defendant's subjective malice in the brand recognition of Didi is obvious, which violates the principle of good faith and recognized business ethics and constitutes unfair competition. Therefore, the Beijing Intellectual Property Court ordered the defendant to stop the trademark infringement involved, stop using the enterprise name containing dd, and awarded compensation for economic losses and reasonable expenses.
Due to the increasing protection of trademarks by many enterprises in recent years, many counterfeiters have come up with crooked ideas to turn other people's well-known trademarks into their own firms and register them in different places. Although there are some differences between No.3 infringement and trademark infringement, it is undeniable that when No.3 and trademark are similar or even the same, it will lead to public misunderstanding, which will lead to losses for enterprises. Therefore, if No.3 maliciously uses another registered trademark and highlights it, it will also be treated as trademark infringement.
Some people also say that Didi has no trademark. Why are companies with similar names also accused of infringement? Then looking down, Beijing Intellectual Property Court held that Didi trademark reached a well-known level on 20 16, which constituted a registered well-known trademark.
Well, the defendant Beijing Didi Bowling Butler Technology Co., Ltd., hereinafter referred to as Didi Bowling Butler Company, not only changed the company name, but also used the logo containing Didi in the business card of the official account of WeChat on the website, which constituted the reproduction and translation of Didi's well-known trademark as a whole. This kind of behavior is easy to mislead the relevant public, so it constitutes unfair competition.
