The whole story of this case is that a company in Shanghai registered green peppercorns, these three words are trademarks, and it also sued many restaurants related to green peppercorns. I believe that many people still remember the case of Qinghuajiao. This case should be regarded as a very typical case of rights protection. When the green peppercorn case occurred, it can be said that it caused a nationwide sensation and aroused the anger of many people. The cause of this case was that a company in Shanghai registered the three words "green peppercorns" as a trademark.

Everyone knows that our country still attaches great importance to trademarks. If a trademark is registered and applied for by others, you will have to pay a certain fee to the trademark applicant when using it. If If you use it without permission, it is illegal and you will need to pay compensation. This Shanghai company had just registered and applied for the trademark of Green Zanthoxylum bungeanum and sued a Green Zanthoxylum bungeanum hotpot fish restaurant in Chengdu. The owner even lost the lawsuit in the first instance and was compensated 30,000 yuan.

Because the shop owner was not satisfied with the verdict, he continued to appeal. In addition to this shop owner, many restaurants in Sichuan related to green peppercorns were sued by this company, which caused a lot of controversy. man's anger. The verdict of this case is really very satisfying, and everyone should resolutely resist this kind of frivolous rights protection. This company in Shanghai is obviously registering trademarks maliciously. As an ingredient, green peppercorns are very common in Sichuan and other places, and green peppercorns are almost always used.

So strictly speaking, blue and white cannot be applied for as a trademark, and this company in Shanghai is also a violation of public interests and disrupts the order of the market. Therefore, the inclusion of the green peppercorn case in the Supreme People's Court's work report is also a warning to those who want to maliciously apply for registered trademarks in order to seek unfair benefits. This kind of violation is a matter of rights protection and will no longer be protected by law in the future.
