No.15496 "Mijia MIKA" trademark is a trademark with rich experience.
"Punch" Xiaomi and "Kick" JD.COM
When it comes to "Mijia", is it easy to think of Xiaomi Company? In fact, the owner of the trademark No.15496 "Mijia MIKA" is not Xiaomi, but Zhou Lian 'an Security Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Lian 'an Company").
Lian' an Company was established on May 22nd, 23, and its business scope includes undertaking security engineering, weak current engineering, electronic intelligent engineering, computer network engineering and selling security equipment, weak current equipment and communication equipment online.
on October 12, 211, Lian' an company applied for the registration of No.15496 "Mijia MIKA" trademark, which was approved in 9 categories, and was used for products such as alarms, electric locks, wires, burglar alarms, loudspeakers, video recorders, sound alarms, network communication equipment, speakers and so on. The registration period was valid from December 7, 212 to December 6, 222.
So many products with Mijia under Xiaomi Company, such as Mijia wireless switch, Mijia walkie-talkie, Mijia driving recorder, etc., why are the trademarks of Mijia in other people's hands?
In fact, Xiaomi Company has also applied for the registration of "Mijia" related trademarks. According to the inquiry of the Trademark Office, Xiaomi Company began to apply for the registration of "Mijia trademark" in 214 (the first three pieces were all obtained from the transfer). So far, * * * holds 264 pieces of "Mijia" related trademarks, but the application date is later than that of Lian 'an Company, which has left some drawbacks.
Since March 216, Xiaomi Company has used the trademark "Mijia" on ten products, such as Mijia multifunction gateway and Mijia wireless switch, and sold them through JD.COM. com, Xiaomi Mall and other channels. Therefore, Lian 'an Company sued that the above-mentioned companies infringed on its trademark rights.
JD.COM believes that the products sold have legal sources and should not be liable for compensation.
At present, the case is still under further investigation.
smoothly resolving the "withdrawal of three"
This is not the only thing that happened to the trademark No.15496 "Mijia MIKA". In 216, the trademark was accused by Chen Mou, a native of Hebei Province, that it had not been used for three consecutive years, and he also filed a request for revocation.
Lian' an Security submitted a series of publicity materials of "Mijia MIKA", some engineering materials, ordering and sales materials, and trademark OEM agreements to the Trademark Office, all in the period of 213-216, thus proving that it really and effectively used the trademark in business from 213 to 216.
In the end, the Beijing Higher People's Court made a final judgment on the case, rejected Chen Mou's appeal, and the registration of the trademark change was finally maintained.
a trademark has such a history that it is a bit embarrassing to collide with its name. Xiaomi company always uses the "meter" series, and Lian' an company applied for the trademark earlier than Xiaomi company, so it can't be said that it deliberately "touched porcelain". In addition, it is unlikely that Xiaomi Company wants to acquire this trademark through transfer. After all, for this company, this trademark is related to its main business and has been put into use for many years.
and this case, I don't know what kind of ending.
