On April 21, according to the British BBC report, the French luxury brand Chanel’s lawsuit against Huawei for trademark infringement was failed by the court. I don’t think there is any similarity between Chanel’s and Huawei’s trademarks, and it is inevitable that Chanel will lose the lawsuit.
As shown above, it is the trademark of the French luxury brand Chanel. It adopts the design of "double C" and the name of their brand is also written in English below. Generally speaking, it is very fashionable and elegant.
The left side of the picture above is Huawei’s trademark, and the right side is Chanel’s trademark. There are still some very obvious differences between the two. First of all, Huawei's trademark uses two "U" intersecting, while Chanel uses two "C" intersecting. Secondly, the opening of Huawei's trademark is oriented upward and downward, while the opening of Chanel's trademark is oriented left and right. The last thing is the difference in the lines used by the two brands. The lines used by Huawei are relatively thin, and the overall look is very slender. Chanel's trademark uses thicker lines and is larger and rounder overall.
? There are not a few brands that adopt this design. For example, the pattern on the left in the picture above is the Audi logo. The design they used was also intertwined and was often used, but Chanel did not sue them for infringement. It can also be seen that Chanel's lawsuit for infringement this time was a very unreasonable behavior.
Chanel’s prosecution this time is also of certain benefit to Huawei. Although it took a little longer, Huawei also played a role in opening up the market by leveraging Chanel's international influence. Moreover, Chanel, as an internationally renowned luxury brand, has a very impressive number of customers and loyal fans after years of development. Huawei is well-known domestically, but relatively unknown internationally. Therefore, Chanel’s behavior is undoubtedly a free advertisement for Huawei, which also has a certain positive effect.
