On June 5, 65438, both parties to the lawsuit, Red Bull Energy Beverage Co., Ltd. and Tencel Medical Care Co., Ltd., confirmed to the reporter of Economic Observer that the Supreme Court had made a final judgment on the ownership dispute of Red Bull Series Trademark. The judgment rejected the appeal of the joint venture company and upheld the first-instance judgment made by the Beijing Higher People's Court on 2065438+2009125 October.
2019165438+125 October, the trial result of Beijing Higher People's Court showed that Red Bull Energy Beverage Co., Ltd. requested the court to confirm that Red Bull Energy Beverage Co., Ltd. enjoyed the legitimate rights and interests of the owner of the "Red Bull Series Trademark", and all the litigation requests for Thai Tencel to pay the advertising expenses were rejected.
A few days ago, the Supreme Court made a final judgment to uphold the first-instance judgment, which means that China Red Bull can no longer use the "Red Bull Series Trademark". For the verdict, China Red Bull told the Economic Observer Network reporter:
"On the basis of the wrong judgment in the first instance, the court of second instance still failed to clarify the rights and obligations agreed between Tencel of Thailand and Red Bull of China in the process of signing cooperation, and the rights and interests such as trademarks generated on this basis, and upheld the judgment in the first instance. China Red Bull will carefully judge the judgment of the second instance and will use all possible legal remedies, including applying for retrial and filing a protest to safeguard its legitimate rights and interests. "
In addition, the company emphasizes that the judgment of the second instance does not involve the agreement (50-year agreement) signed by China Red Bull and Thailand Tencel on June 20 1 1 65438+1October 10, and the dispute over this agreement is still going on.
It's been a long time since this trademark dispute case, but the trial is not completely over, so we can see how many things are involved. The longer the handling of trademark disputes lasts, the more complicated it will become. Moreover, the goods under this trademark are very popular all over the country. But at present, it is a pity that China Red Bull cannot use the "Red Bull Series Trademark" after the verdict.
