On April 21st, the result of trademark infringement case between Chanel, a famous French luxury brand, and China Huawei finally came out. This tug-of-war that began in 217 finally ended in the loss of Chanel in 221.
The whole process is probably as follows: In 217, Huawei applied to the European Intellectual Property Office to register a trademark of its computer hardware, but just before it passed, Chanel saw the trademark and told the European Bureau that the design of the trademark was similar to Chanel's logo, which was eventually rejected by the Trademark Office. However, Chanel didn't give up. It turned around and filed an appeal against Huawei in the Luxembourg court. In the end, after four years, this lawsuit finally ended with Chanel's losing the case. And the result of the ruling of the European Union General Court is that there are similarities, but the appearance difference is too large, which will not cause confusion to the audience. ?
I believe everyone is very curious about this logo. If you have used Huawei's smart life products, then you should know this logo! This logo is made up of two U's. It looks just like Huawei's initials H. I think, as a layman, I also feel that these two trademarks really have no connection. So I think this matter can be said to be a big touch of porcelain. So why does Chanel have to fight this lawsuit? I think this may be to affect the normal operation of Huawei's business, but I don't understand the specific things. ?
after the publicity of matters related to property rights protection, people pay more and more attention to intellectual property rights. Logo, fonts, etc., which are most easily copied, have also begun to be valued by everyone. This is actually a happy thing. Because intellectual property is really a very important thing for an artist, originality is originally the most important ability of an artist. For many artists, works are like their own children! So it's really a pleasure to be able to protect your work.
