It is rumored that the Guizhou Branch of the Chinese Martial Arts Association sued Chanel because they believed that Chanel’s trademark logo was a plagiarism of the traditional Chinese weapon Bagua Ziwu Yuanyang Yue. At present, the Nanming District Court of Guiyang City has accepted the case, and a trial will be held at that time. Some netizens said, "I really can't understand it. Why does it feel like "touching porcelain"?" Soon the truth came to light, and the Guizhou Provincial Martial Arts Association denied the matter and did not prosecute at all.
If it hadn't been for this "own incident", I'm afraid no one would have noticed that Bagua Ziwu Yuanyangyue is so similar to the Chanel LOGO. Thinking back to Chanel's 4-year fight against Huawei's trademark, some people called out "Well done" and "Treat others the way they treat you". The General Court of Justice of the European Union found that although the two are similar, most of them still objected. After all, the two are not comparable and cannot be regarded as the same. From a graphic point of view, they are not completely similar, and the colors are different. The key is that one is a weapon and the other is a trademark. It seems too far-fetched to insist that it is "plagiarism".
Chanel was born in France in 1910. This trademark has appeared in front of everyone since then and has become the Chanel logo for so many years. The Bagua Ziwu Yuanyang Yue was born in the Qing Dynasty. It is a short instrument in Bagua Zhang and is a unique weapon of the Bagua Zhang sect. This weapon also appeared in the movie, and many people should be familiar with it. This kind of weapon has a strong sense of traditional Chinese culture. It looks like two axes embracing each other and resembles a yin and yang fish. Eastern and Western cultures are different. It seems unreasonable to insist that Westerners copy traditional Chinese culture.
The Guizhou Provincial Martial Arts Association responded to this matter and stated that it has not received any written report so far, and the association is not very aware of this matter. It seems that this matter may be a fake news, and someone may be spreading rumors. I don’t know what they really think. Whether you want exposure or for some other reason, just wait for the investigation by the relevant departments!
