"Beat" Xiaomi and "Kick" JD.COM.
Speaking of "Mijia", is it easy to think of Xiaomi Company? In fact, the owner of the trademarkNo. 10054096 "Mijia Mika" is not Xiaomi, but Zhou Lian Lian 'an Security Engineering Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Lian 'an Company").
Lian 'an Company was established on May 22nd, 2003, and its business scope includes undertaking security engineering, weak current engineering, electronic intelligent engineering, computer network engineering and online sales of security equipment, weak current equipment and communication equipment.
201112, Lian' an company applied to register the trademarkNo. 10054096 "Mijia Mika", and approved 9 categories, which are used for alarms, electric locks, wires, burglar alarms, speakers, video recorders, and sounds.
Xiaomi has so many products with "Mijia", such as Mijia wireless switch, Mijia walkie-talkie, Mijia driving recorder and so on. Why is the trademark of "Mijia" in the hands of others?
In fact, Xiaomi Company also applied for the registration of Mijia related trademarks. Inquired by the Trademark Office, Xiaomi Company began to apply for registration of Mijia trademark in 20 14 (the first three items were all obtained from the transfer). Up to now, * * * holds 264 Mijia-related trademarks, but the application date is later than that of Lian 'an Company, which has left drawbacks.
Since 2065438+March 2006, Xiaomi Company has used the "Mijia" trademark 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 their trademark rights.
JD.COM Company believes that the products sold have legal sources and should not be liable for compensation.
The case is still under investigation.
Successfully solved the "withdrawal of three"
This is not the only thing that happened on the trademark No. 10054096 "Mijia Mika". 20 16 Chen Mou, a native of Hebei province, accused the trademark of not being used for three consecutive years, and also filed a request for revocation.
Lian 'an Safety submitted the "Mijia Mika" series of publicity materials, some engineering materials, ordering and sales materials, trademark OEM production agreements, etc. to the Trademark Office. , all within the time range of 20 13-20 16, thus proving that it used the trademark in the business from 20 13 to 20 16.
In the end, the Beijing Higher People's Court made a final judgment on this case, rejected Chen Mou's appeal, and the registration of the changed trademark was finally maintained.
A trademark has such a history that it is a bit embarrassing to collide with its name. Xiaomi Company used to use the word "meter" series. Lian 'an Company applied for a trademark earlier than Xiaomi Company, and it can't be said that it was deliberately "touching porcelain". In addition, it is unlikely that Xiaomi Company will 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 will be.
