Removal of Olympic rings logo

Legal analysis: The perpetrator clearly knew that the Olympic logo could not be used at will without permission, but was tempted by the "big cake" of "Olympic" and produced and sold the Olympic logo or products with the Olympic logo without authorization. , to obtain illegal profits. Infringers usually directly use the Olympic logo or text and graphics with the Olympic logo in product packaging and advertisements. This is the most direct and public infringement of the exclusive rights of the Olympic symbols. It is a serious infringement of the Olympic symbol rights and must be severely punished.

Legal basis: The Olympic symbols under Article 2 of the "Olympic Symbols Protection Regulations" also include Olympic symbols that belong to copyright, trademark rights, patent rights and special symbol exclusive rights. This is the Olympic symbol. This provides the basis for multiple legal protections for the Olympic logo by the logo rights holder. But at the same time, law enforcement agencies also have some confusion when choosing the applicable legal basis for the Olympic symbols that enjoy multiple protections. For example, in the famous "Olympic Five Rings Symbol Infringement Case", the Beijing first-instance court and the second-instance court applied different legal basis as to what kind of legal protection the rights to the five-ring symbol were protected. In addition, since the Olympic symbol rights are civil rights, according to the provisions of the Legislative Law, the National People's Congress or its Standing Committee must formulate laws to protect them.
