With the development of the Internet age, there are more and more counterfeit things. Maybe by accident, something you like is a counterfeit version. Of course, this is the inevitable law of the development of the times, and we can only accept it or change it as much as possible. There are different opinions, who is the genuine one?

I believe everyone is familiar with the four words MUJI. Beijing MUJI and Japan MUJI have been fighting each other for a long time and have been tit for tat. It is reported that the trademark MUJI has been registered in 2001. Subsequently, in 2004, Beijing Cotton Textile obtained the trademark. Japan's Muji only entered the Chinese market in 2005. Due to the different timelines, we can already get a full picture of some things. At the point of conflict, why are the two sides at war with each other?

The point of conflict is when I discovered that Japanese Muji products used the words MUJI in Beijing MUJI. Later, the two met in court, with their swords at war, as if they wanted to eat each other alive. However, this lawsuit filed by Beijing Muji did not succeed. The court held that Japan’s MUJI did not constitute plagiarism. Obviously, Beijing Muji is not satisfied with this result. Beijing Muji did not give up. It filed lawsuits many times and finally succeeded. It is understood that Japan's Muji once raised objections to Beijing Muji's Muji trademark, but after many refutations. Although a lawsuit was finally filed and went through the first and second trials, it ultimately failed. What is the truth?

Beijing Muji and Japan’s Muji have been competing for a long time and are disgusted with each other’s existence. But in the eyes of the majority of netizens, they are just half a catty versus eighty taels. One is a copycat, the other is high-priced and low-quality. There is nothing to compare. Netizens have mixed opinions on the confrontation between the two. Just like the most typical case, Oreo, as the biggest copycat version, is more popular than the original version. We also need to see that copycats are not necessarily completely wrong. We must look beyond the appearance to see the essence, and we cannot blindly stick to one side. Everything has two sides, the copycat is not necessarily bad, and the genuine is not necessarily good.
