Does not belong.
In November 2016, Great Wall Motors officially released the new brand WEY. The Chinese name was "Weipai", which was later changed to "Weipai". According to Great Wall Motors, the name WEY comes from the surname of Great Wall founder Wei Jianjun. In terms of positioning, the WEY brand was higher than Haval, the flagship model at the time, and multiple models were planned with a price range of 150,000 to 200,000 yuan. "Practice WEY with your own surname". It can be seen that "Wei" is the core of the WEY brand trademark naming.
The trademark "Wei" involved in the transfer announcement has an international classification of 12 and an application number of 18929014. A search by the Red Star Capital Bureau found that the trademark was applied for in January 2016 and officially registered in 2017. In April 2021, the trademark transfer application was received, and the approval certificate was printed and sent on September 15. The entire transfer process was completed and transferred to the name of Great Wall Motors.
In response to this matter, a reporter from Red Star Capital Bureau interviewed BYD, who said that BYD submitted an application for registration of the "Wei" trademark in January 2016 and decided to transfer it to its partner Great Wall Motors this year. At the same time, Great Wall Motors transferred other registered trademarks to its partner BYD. Both parties will work together to make progress and strive to achieve the common progress of Chinese brands. Trademark disputes involve the core interests of enterprises, and most of the parties involved go to court. However, BYD and Great Wall Motors have quietly completed the handover. Most people do not even know that the two parties have a dispute over the trademark "Wei". There are rumors that BYD transferred the trademark "Wei" to Great Wall Motors for free. In response to this, netizens said, "This is the pattern" and "The arena is not about fighting and killing, it is about human relationships."
