Because of the "Little Sheep" trademark issue.

On August 24, 2009, Huacheng Company registered "Little Sheep" as a trademark for its mutton-shabu soup and other condiments. In November of the same year, Huacheng Company asked Little Sheep Company’s condiment distributors to remove the Little Sheep hot pot base sold by it from the shelves.

Little Sheep Company took the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce to court. Little Sheep Company believes that the high degree of connection between the mutton-shabu-shabu seasoning and the mutton-shabu hot pot catering service completely constitutes similar goods and services under the trademark law. After more than a month of trial, the Beijing No. 1 Intermediate People's Court ruled that the National Trademark Review and Adjudication Board revoked the registration of "Little Sheep" approved by Inner Mongolia Huacheng Technology and Trade Co., Ltd. on August 24, 2009 for its mutton soup, etc. Trademark ruling on condiments. This means that the closely watched Little Sheep Company has won its case against the National Trademark Review and Adjudication Board, and the Little Sheep trademark is the sole legal owner of Inner Mongolia Little Sheep Catering Chain Co., Ltd.
