Gree actually sued the Property Rights Bureau. What happened?

Gree’s lawsuit against the Property Rights Bureau is very shocking to ordinary people. You must know that the Property Rights Bureau is a state agency. However, anyone who knows something about property rights knows that property rights offices are sued many times every year. When a company's trademark or patent application is rejected by the Intellectual Property Office, the company has the right to request a review. At this time, the respondent to the review application is the Intellectual Property Office. It's just that Gree is relatively well-known in China, and many people who don't understand it exaggerate this matter. 1. Gree sued the State Intellectual Property Office

Gree is actually Zhuhai Gree Electric Co., Ltd. The company added a new document to sue the State Intellectual Property Office on October 12. The reason is that in 2017, Gree Company applied for the trademark "Gree Color World", which is considered a Class 9 scientific instrument in the classification, and was subsequently declared invalid and rejected by the State Intellectual Property Office. After being rejected, Gree definitely had to reapply, so he started to sue the State Intellectual Property Office and requested a re-ruling. The verdict of this case also requires the State Intellectual Property Office to re-adjudicate the matter. 2. The Intellectual Property Office is often accused

It seems that Gree’s lawsuit against the Intellectual Property Office is a very big deal, but in fact it does not affect anyone. The Intellectual Property Office has the right to reject patents and trademarks applied by companies, and companies naturally have the right to request reexamination and ruling. However, requesting a review requires prosecution. The Intellectual Property Office receives a lot of such lawsuits. Every year, a large number of companies sue the Intellectual Property Office, requesting that their applications be re-adjudicated. It was originally an ordinary thing, but after adding "prosecution", it became very serious. 3. Gree Color World

Logically speaking, Gree is an electrical product and should not apply for scientific classification. But today's electrical products are inseparable from science, and their development speed is no worse than other scientific products. In this case, it is reasonable to apply for a new trademark. After being asked to re-ruling, Gree Color Industry is now in the registration application stage.
