Chanel lost the trademark dispute with Huawei. What was the reason for the defeat?

Chanel lost the lawsuit against Huawei in the trademark dispute. The reason for the defeat was that Chanel’s reason for suing was very outrageous, and the two trademarks can be said to be unrelated, but Chanel made a fuss about it. , is untenable legally, and has no foothold in public opinion. Recently, Chanel started a trademark dispute with Huawei because of Huawei's trademark. In this dispute, Chanel lived up to expectations and lost the case. Of course, everyone can imagine such an ending. What was the reason for losing the lawsuit? Why did Chanel sue Huawei? How did Huawei respond?

In fact, the trademark dispute between Chanel and Huawei has been going on for four years, but it was only recently announced that Chanel lost the case. This matter started as early as 2017, when Huawei applied for registration protection with the European Union Intellectual Property Office for its computer hardware logo. However, this application was opposed by Chanel as soon as it was filed, saying that Huawei's trademark was extremely similar to Chanel's "double C" logo. It was not until 2019 that the Trademark Office rejected Chanel’s objection. However, Chanel was very unconvinced at this time and felt that Huawei's trademark had infringed upon Chanel's "Double C" rights. Therefore, Chanel continued to appeal. So Chanel once again challenged this ruling in the Luxembourg court, but the court did not accept this at all. The court rejected its appeal on Wednesday, April 21, and ruled that the disputed trademarks were only somewhat similar. That's it, but the appearance is very different, and there is no trademark dispute. It is equivalent to announcing that Chanel has lost the lawsuit.

Regarding this matter, some netizens also made comments, it is better to say that black and white are used, and the similarity is 100%. Such remarks are a naked satire of Chanel, but this incident of Chanel is indeed a bit unreasonable.

I think anyone with a discerning eye can understand why Chanel lost the case. The two trademarks are only slightly similar. It is indeed a bit outrageous to sue Huawei just because of this.
