Italy GUCCI Filed A Claim For Trademark Infringement Litigation In China 500 Thousand

Recently, GUCCIO GUCCI S.P.A filed a petition to court Shanghai Limited by Share Ltd and Beijing Hualian integrated supermarket Limited by Share Ltd to request the two defendants to stop immediately producing and selling the commodities that infringe the exclusive rights of their "GG graphics" registered trademarks and claim economic losses of 500 thousand yuan.

The first intermediate people's Court of Beijing has formally accepted the case.

It is understood that Gu Qiao Gu Xi AG is one of the world's largest multinational production of top garments and luxury luxury products. Its "GUCCI" brand was born in Italy in 1921 and has a history of 85 years.

As one of the world's largest luxury brands, the plaintiff's products cover leather products, shoes, clothing and many other categories, and enjoy high popularity and good reputation all over the world.

In China, the plaintiff's brand was protected by the Chinese government department. In 2000, it was listed in the national key trademark protection list by SAIC.

According to plaintiff Gu Gu Gu Xi stock company, it was found in January 2007 that second defendants, Beijing Hualian Supermarket, Limited by Share Ltd is selling women's shoes that are very similar to those of the plaintiff's "GG graphics" trademark. The women's shoes are widely and heavily used to mark the registered trademarks of the plaintiff in a certain way in the front and side, but the women's shoes are marked with the first defendant, Shanghai BST Shoes Co., Ltd. and the "BASTO BST".

The plaintiff purchased the pair of women's shoes at the second defendant's office in January 31, 2007 and notarized the evidence of the purchase process.

Gu Qiao Gu Xi shares think that before that, they have found that the Shanghai parent group Co., Ltd., the parent company of Jiangsu group, is using the same logo as "GG graphics" trademark of Gu Qiao Gu Xi AG.

To this end, they issued a warning letter to the company in September 2006, and now Shanghai BST Shoes Co., Ltd. once again infringed the trademark exclusive right of Gu Qiao Gu Xi joint stock company, with obvious subjective malice, while the Limited by Share Ltd Hualian comprehensive supermarket Limited by Share Ltd sold infringing women shoes, which constituted a violation of the exclusive right of registered trademark of Gu Qiao Gu Xi stock company.

The first intermediate people's court will hold a hearing on the case.
