It’s true. It was a brand dispute caused by a family dispute. The incident originated from a name change statement - "Consumers have been using the imported product Activated Oil for more than 10 years. Since 2010, the new packaging has been approved by the State Food and Drug Administration. The patented formula remains unchanged and the Hong Kong manufacturer does not "Change, Wong Daoyi Huoluo Oil was renamed WONG'S Huoluo Oil, and the packaging was changed." Starting from March this year, this name change statement successively appeared in major media in Guangzhou, and was signed as "Wong's Pharmaceutical Holdings Co., Ltd."
At the same time, another solemn statement from "Huang Daoyi Active Oil Co., Ltd." appeared in the media - "The 'Huang Daoyi' active oil produced by our company must be accompanied by 'Huang Daoyi'." The company has not changed and has no intention to change the registered trademark of "Wong Daoyi" active oil or "Huang Daoyi Portrait". Not only that, the statement also targets the previous claim: Wong's active oil has appeared on the market recently. The oil is not our company's product. Some people claim that the 'Original Wong's Active Oil' has been renamed 'WONG'S Active Oil', which is purely false propaganda. "Wong's Pharmaceutical Holdings Co., Ltd." has no relationship with "Wong Daoyi Huoluo Oil Co., Ltd." "Hong Kong Huang's Pharmaceutical Holdings Co., Ltd." (hereinafter referred to as "Huang's"), which published the name change statement, was established in August 2006 and is run by Huang Daoyi's son Huang Tianci.
In the statement, it was stated that "Huang Daoyi Huoluo Oil" and "Huang Daoyi Huoluo Oil Co., Ltd." (hereinafter referred to as "Butter"), which had never changed its name, was established by Huang Daoyi himself in 1988, before the family dispute arose. , a well-known manufacturer and operator of Huang Daoyi active oil products in Hong Kong.
“The earliest people to operate active oil in the mainland were Huang Daoyi’s children Huang Tianci and others. Later, due to the breakup between Huang Daoyi, his wife Luo Jinmei, his son Huang Tianci and other children, the two companies broke up. The "Contract" was signed, and the relevant rights within the Chinese mainland market belong to the 'Huang', but it is unknown whether it is true or not," an insider revealed to reporters.
According to Hong Kong media reports, since 2000, Huang Daoyi himself has been in court with his family, involving trademark infringement, equity seizure, loan recovery and other issues. His son Huang Tianci claimed in court that he set up a factory in 1997 to produce "Huang Daoyi Huoluo Oil" and sold it in the mainland, and Huang Daoyi also knew about this. When her mother negotiated the terms of divorce with Huang Daoyi in 1999, Huang Daoyi promised to hand over the shares to Huang Tianci, but Huang Daoyi later retorted, sometimes wanting to sell the business to outsiders, and sometimes asking his Canadian daughter and son-in-law to return to Hong Kong to take over. Huang Tianci, Huang Xiujuan and Huang Huijuan have been running businesses in Hong Kong for many years.
