As of April 2022, the outcome of the Li Ziqi incident is that Li Ziqi’s lawsuit is still under trial.
On October 25, 2021, Ziqi Culture, Li Ziqi’s company, formally sued Weinian and Weinian founder Liu Tongming. Then, all the Li Ziqi trademarks applied by Weinian were rejected.
In 2022, Hangzhou Weinian Brand Management Co., Ltd. once again took Sichuan Ziqi Handicraft Communication Co., Ltd. to court. The case was filed on March 10, 2022, and the handling court was the Intermediate People's Court of Mianyang City, Sichuan Province.
Li Ziqi Incident
The cooperation between Hangzhou Weinian and Li Ziqi began in 2016. As the reputation of Li Ziqi’s brand gradually expanded, Weinian Company also successfully completed several rounds of financing.
However, as the actual producer of "Li Ziqi" IP content, Li Ziqi does not hold any shares in Hangzhou Weinian and has a weak voice. Uneven distribution of benefits and problems accumulated in operations led to the eventual outbreak of conflicts.
