After questioning the infringement of Didi taxi, Didi taxi was quickly renamed Didi taxi to avoid the storm, but now the storm reappears after the name change. A few days ago, Guangzhou Ruichi Computer Technology Co., Ltd. sued Didi taxi operator Beijing Xiaoju Technology Co., Ltd. to the court on the grounds that it used the "Didi" trademark without authorization, the service items were similar to those approved by its own trademark, and its trademark rights were infringed. At present, Beijing Haidian Court has accepted the case and is conducting further trial.
Didi taxi is still infringing
Guangzhou Ruichi Company claims that it owns the trademarks of Didi, No.1112298 and No.11282313 in category 38 and Didi, No.1112265 in category 35. Xiaoju Company provides services with the words "Didi taxi" and "Didi taxi" to the public through the software information platform, and prominently marks the words "Didi taxi" and "Didi taxi" on the software interface where the services are provided. The services include "network-based information transmission, taxi service for global network users, voice communication service, business management of taxi drivers", etc., which are the same as or similar to those approved by the plaintiff's trademark.
Ruichi Company believes that Xiaoju Company's behavior infringes its trademark rights, so it sues Xiaoju Company and demands that it immediately stop the infringement and publish a statement on its website and the mainstream media in China to eliminate the influence.
In fact, at the beginning of this year, Xiaoju Technology Co., Ltd. had a dispute with a company in Hangzhou over the trademark "Didi" and was sued by the other party for trademark infringement. On May 2th, Didi Taxi announced its name change to "Didi Taxi".
