the brand of Wang Lao Ji has a long history, which can be traced back to Daoguang period of Qing dynasty. Wang Laoji Herbal Tea was founded by Wang Zebang, and it is deeply loved by people for its efficacy of clearing away heat and toxic materials and preventing excessive internal heat. Later, Wang Laoji herbal tea was acquired by Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group and became its brand.
jiaduobao is another beverage manufacturer in China. In 199s, Hongdao Group, the parent company of Jiaduobao Group, signed a contract with GPHL and obtained the right to use the trademark of Wang Laoji. Under the management of Hongdao Group, Jiaduobao has built Wang Laoji herbal tea into a famous beverage brand in China, and its market share has increased rapidly.
However, in 212, GPHL and Hongdao Group had a dispute over the use of trademarks. GPHL believes that Hongdao Group continues to use the trademark of Wang Laoji after the expiration of the contract, which infringes on its legitimate rights and interests. The two sides launched a long legal lawsuit on this.
finally, the court ruled that Hongdao Group stopped using the trademark of Wang Laoji and compensated GPHL for its economic losses. Since then, Hongdao Group has renamed its herbal tea products as "Jiaduobao" and continued to sell them in the market.
Therefore, the relationship between Wang Laoji and Jia Duobao mainly stems from trademark disputes. They used to be brands of herbal tea drinks, but now they are independent and become competitors.
