Examples of intellectual property infringement in daily life include:

1. A case of a tourist store selling counterfeit geographical indication protected products.

When the Market Supervision Bureau inspected a tourist goods store in the development zone, it was found that the packaging of the products sold was marked as "commemorative wine" from the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea series.

After investigation, in order to open up the market and attract foreign tourists to Dandong to buy special products, the parties cooperated with a Jiangsu Liquor Co., Ltd. without obtaining the "Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea" geographical indication certification. The outer packaging and packaging boxes of the products sold have the "Products Protected by Geographical Indication of the People's Republic of China" pattern printed in a prominent position.

This behavior violates Article 21 of the "Regulations on the Protection of Geographical Indication Products" and the relevant provisions of the "Law of the People's Republic of China and Domestic Product Quality".

2. Case of a winery selling counterfeit Wuliangye and other registered trademark wines

During inspection, law enforcement officers from the Municipal Market Supervision Bureau discovered that a winery in Dandong was selling infringing counterfeit wines, including Wuliangye, Shede Wine, Ocean Blue, Jiannanchun, Penfolds, Rémy Martin VSOP, Martell Cordon Bleu and other domestic and imported wines.

Law enforcement officers found rubber water and towel rags in the basement of the client, which were used to smear the original production date of beer cans, and a set of inkjet coding equipment used to spray the production date of beer cans.

The party concerned violated Article 57 of the Trademark Law of the People’s Republic of China and other laws and regulations. The party concerned shall be fined 100,000 yuan for infringing the exclusive rights of others' registered trademarks, and other illegal acts shall be subject to administrative penalties.

Comments:

In recent years, with the emergence of a large number of new economic formats, some unscrupulous companies have faked well-known brands in the market to attract foreign investment and franchises, such as franchisees, dealers, and partners. The implementation of trademark infringement has become the new normal in trademark infringement cases. These illegal enterprises operate with reference to the entire industrial chain of the target trademark and brand.

Package "infringing core products" in a large number of legal forms, and use new online media to carry out relevant imitation and substantial promotion; in this series of cases, in the absence of superficial evidence materials, law enforcement officers found another way to cooperate with customers from the parties. The parties involved in the case were administratively dealt with in accordance with the law, and achieved good law enforcement results.
