Popular searches for MUJI? and MUJI caused an uproar. It turns out that there are really two kinds of Muji products in the world, and this is the second time they have filed a lawsuit. Faced with this situation, netizens not only lamented: It seems that Li Kui met Li Gui. ?Cotton Company filed a lawsuit. On November 10, 2019, defendant 1, Ryohin Co., Ltd., and defendant 2, Muji Co., Ltd. issued a statement stating that the "MUJI" trademark has been used in some commodity categories in mainland China, such as cloth, Towels, bedspreads, etc. are registered by other companies. In 2014 and 2015, Ryohin Keikan Co., Ltd. and Muji mistakenly used the "MUJI" trademark in these categories. In response, the Beijing Higher People's Court found that the company's use of the "MUJI" trademark infringed the trademark rights of Beijing Miantian Textile Co., Ltd.

On April 25, 2021, the People’s Court of Chaoyang District, Beijing held an online trial. Beijing Cotton Textile Co., Ltd. once again filed a commercial defamation and unfair competition lawsuit against Japan's Muji Company, mainly due to the company's statements. Earlier, in the trademark dispute between Beijing Muji and Japan’s Muji, Japan’s Muji lost the lawsuit and needed to issue a statement to eliminate the impact of infringement. As for whether Japan's Muji constitutes commercial defamation against Beijing Cotton Field Company, the most important thing is to return to the definition of commercial defamation in the Anti-Unfair Competition Law.

The defendant used the term "cybersquatting" in his statement. Beijing Muji filed a lawsuit against Japan's Muji, saying the Japanese company's use of the term "squatting" damaged its reputation and engaged in unfair competition. Beijing Muji demanded RMB 3 million in compensation and RMB 100,000 in legal fees. Judge Cui Shulei of the Intellectual Property Court of the People's Court of Chaoyang District, Beijing, said that the most important thing to determine whether Japan's Muji constitutes commercial defamation of Beijing Cotton Field Company is to return to the definition of commercial defamation in the Anti-Unfair Competition Law. The case was not announced in court.

I believe everyone is familiar with Japan’s MUJI, which has become popular in Japan as early as the last century. It was not until 2005 that Japan’s MUJI entered the mainland Chinese market for the first time. . In China at that time, when the word "MUJI" appeared, Japan's MUJI even filed lawsuits and objections, but they were of no help. The Supreme Court in this case ruled that Japan's Muji did not enter the Chinese market before applying for domestic companies. Although it is popular in Japan and other countries and regions around the world, this popularity does not protect the Chinese market.
