Why did Beijing’s Muji sue Japan’s Muji?

In fact, before, Beijing-based Muji and Japan-based Muji had a lawsuit, because they had similar product names and trademarks, but one was a Beijing-based company. , one is a Japanese company, so the two have a big dispute over trademarks. In the first instance, the court ruled that Japan's MUJI had infringed the law, so Japan's MUJI also followed the law. At the request of the company, a statement was published in the Global Times acknowledging its infringement. However, some words in the statement made Beijing-based MUJI feel that they were maliciously defaming Beijing-based MUJI. Therefore, Beijing-based MUJI Another lawsuit was filed against Beijing-based Muji.

Does Japan’s Muji really need to compensate Beijing’s Muji?

I think it is indeed necessary, because if you just look at the statement of Japan's Muji, you will probably think that Beijing's Muji does use it based on the Japanese Muji description. Some unfair competition methods were used to obtain the trademark, but in fact, the Japanese brand MUJI applied for a trademark, but the application was not approved. In the next two years, Beijing-based MUJI successfully applied for the trademark. So I think there is no such thing as squatting. And if the audience is not familiar with the situation, they may be led to believe that Beijing-based Muji deliberately registered the trademark first and engaged in unfair commercial competition.

Will you buy Japanese MUJI products in the future?

I will not buy it again because I think that although the designs of Japanese MUJI products are very simple, they are very expensive. There are many good brands that can replace these products, and the domestic brands in our country are also very good. The product range of Japan's Muji mainly covers daily necessities, as well as cosmetics, student stationery, etc., while the product range of Beijing's Muji mainly covers some bedding and fabrics.
