Zhang Shejun, the founder of the earliest production of snow lotus ice cubes, is Jinan Xiajunle Cold Food Co., Ltd. (now renamed Jinan Junle Dairy Co., Ltd.), which was established in 1997 and has been in business for 25 years. Snow lotus is a design concept proposed by Zhang Shejun in 1999 and patented in 2000. Later, it was registered by Linyi Qibao Trading Co., Ltd. because the patent was invalid. Currently, Gushenzhai, an affiliated company of Qibao Trading, is producing "Snow Lotus". Who is the founder of Snow Lotus? How many years has Xuelian been established? When will snow lotus have ice? According to news reports, the patent certificate for the "Snow Lotus Ice" packaging bag displayed by Zhang Shejun was granted in December 2000 for a period of ten years. However, the patent rights were terminated in October 2006 due to "non-payment of annual fees". After losing the patent rights, various brands of snow lotus are available across the country. Due to low entry barriers, an extremely chaotic market has formed. Currently, the applicant for the Xuelian trademark is Linyi Qibao Trading Co., Ltd. The company was established in May 2014, and its legal representative is Sun Qibao. In 2021, Guzhenzhai's equity changed, and Qibao Company subscribed 15,000 yuan as a shareholder, holding 5% of the shares. The person in charge of Gu Shenzhai also revealed in an interview with the media that the company registered the Snow Lotus trademark with Linyi Qibao Trading Co., Ltd., so the Snow Lotus trademark is currently owned by Qibao Company. However, Mr. Sun, the person in charge of Linyi Qibao Trading, also said that they only started producing snow lotus ice in 2017. In fact, whether it is "Gushenzhai" with the snow lotus trademark or "Xia Junle", the original brand that makes snow lotus ice cubes, they are all genuine snow lotus in theory. You just need to buy the brand you like.
