Although Jiaduobao lost the lawsuit with Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group on the right to use Wang Laoji's trademark, it will not affect the sales of this product, regardless of the production process of Wang Laoji's red cans by Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group or other beverage manufacturers.
Previously, the "red pot Wang Laoji" and the "green box Wang Laoji" in the market had their own "family". The producer of "Red Can Wang Laoji" is Jiaduobao Group and its parent company Hongdao Group, while "Green Box Wang Laoji" is Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group. The trademark dispute between the two companies is called the "Red and Green Wang Laoji" dispute.
According to the Legal Evening News, according to Guangzhou Pharmaceutical, the trademark of Wang Laoji leased to Jiaduobao expired in May 21, but Li Yimin, the former general manager of Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group, received a bribe of more than HK$ 3 million from Jiaduobao and renewed it for another 1 years.
