Case Brief

Harmony World Watch Centre, as a chain group (hereinafter referred to as "Harmony Group") specializing in the distribution and service of world-renowned watches, has over 250 world-renowned watch chain stores in more than 60 provinces and cities across China. It has long used and promoted trademarks " " " " (hereinafter referred to as the "disputed trademarks") on services of "advertising, selling for others" in Class 35. In 2020, the disputed trademarks were proposed to be revoked by a certain enterprise on the grounds of being "unused for three consecutive years". The China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) held in the sued ruling that the evidence used in the case cannot prove that the disputed trademarks were used commercially on services of "selling for others, organization of exhibitions for commercial or advertising purposes", and revoked the registration of the above trademarks in these service items.

After being the agent of the case, the Unitalen litigation team accurately grasped the functional purposes of services such as "selling for others, organization of exhibitions for commercial or advertising purposes" by sorting out the evidence materials of the entire case at the CNIPA stage and further delving into it. The team also comprehensively presented and sorted out the evidence of trademark use during the three-year period to the Beijing Intellectual Property Court, thereby successfully revoking the sued decision and maintaining the registration of the disputed trademarks on services of "selling for others", "organization of exhibitions for commercial or advertising purposes" and similar services.

Case Background of Service of "Selling for others" in Class 35

As early as 2004, the former Trademark Office under the State Administration for Industry & Commerce provided an official reply with Trademark Shen Zi [2004] No. 171 as follows: shopping malls and supermarkets are enterprises that sell goods, and their main activities are wholesale and retail. Therefore, the service items in Class 35 of International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks do not include "wholesale and retail of goods", and the services of shopping malls and supermarkets do not belong to this class. The content of service of "selling (for others)" in this class is to provide advice, planning, promotion, consulting, and other services for others to sell goods (services).

Based on this reply document, some relevant public have varying understandings of the service of "selling (for others)" in Class 35. In this regard, Guidelines for the Trial of Trademark Right Granting and Verification Administrative Cases implemented by Beijing Higher People's Court in April 2019 clarified the determination rules for use of trademarks on service of "selling for others" in Class 35. The CNIPA implemented the Guidelines on the Application for Registration and Use of Trademarks on Services in Class 35 in December 2022.

Typical Significance

According to statistical figures in the Research Report on the Protection of Service Trademarks in the Retail Industry of Goods issued by the Beijing Trademark Association in July 2022, "only 7% of retail enterprises have their trademark registration maintained" in "the revocation cases of trademarks of being unused for three consecutive years on services in Class 35". Moreover, the present case exactly provides a vivid case for the issue of identification of trademark use on service of "selling for others" in Class 35.

Case No.: (2022) Jing 0106 Xing Chu No. 86

Defendant: Ren

Case Brief

The Organizing Committee for the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games and Winter Paralympic Games (hereinafter referred to as the Organizing Committee for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games) is the copyright owner of the mascot image art works for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games and Winter Paralympic Games. From November to December 2021, during the preparation and hosting of the 2022 Winter Olympic Games and Winter Paralympic Games, Ren, without the permission of the Organizing Committee for the Beijing Winter Olympic Games, made dolls having images of the mascots for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games at his current residence in Rongcheng County, Baoding City, Hebei Province for lucrative purpose. He then sold them to Fengtai District and other places in Beijing through online stores, with a total illegal turnover of over 60,000 yuan.

On January 1, 2022, Ren was arrested by police officers from the Liuliqiao Police Station of the Fengtai Branch of the Beijing Municipal Public Security Bureau. The police officers caught over 30 mascot image dolls without padding and over 160 unsold mascot image dolls at his current residence.

The first trial court held that Ren, for the purpose of profit, copied and distributed the works whose copyright belongs to the copyright owner without the permission thereof. The circumstances were serious, and his behavior constituted a crime of copyright infringement, which should be punished in accordance with the law. Considering that Ren was able to truthfully confess the facts of the crime upon his arrival at the case and voluntarily plead guilty to punishment, he was given a lighter punishment in accordance with the law. According to the provisions of Article 217(1) of the Criminal Law, he was sentenced to one year's imprisonment and a fine of RMB 40,000. It was ruled to continue pursuing the illegal gains of Ren, confiscate and turn them over to the national treasury; transfer one mobile phone along with the case, which was confiscated for archiving; and transfer the mascot image dolls and dolls having no padding that have infringed upon copyright along with the case, which shall be confiscated and destroyed. Ren accepted the judgement and did not institute an appeal. The first trial judgment shall take effect.

Comments

This case is the first criminal case in China involving infringement to the copyright of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games mascot image art works. The Winter Olympic Games mascot is an important symbol of the Winter Olympic Games, embodying the extraordinary creative wisdom of creators and possessing a strong sense of artistic beauty. It is an art work protected by China's Copyright Law and an object of copyright infringement in Criminal Law. This case was concluded before the opening of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games. Criminal measures were taken to investigate and severely punish criminal acts that infringe on the intellectual property rights of the Winter Olympic Games, which fully demonstrates China's determination and attitude to protect intellectual property rights in accordance with the law, and effectively enhances China's international image in protecting intellectual property rights of the Winter Olympic Games.
