Under the entrustment of Zhuo Jinbao, Meancare acted as agent in the “HUOWANG and pictorial”(hereinafter referred to as “trademark for retrial”) dismissal retrial case. The dismissal reason was that the trademark for retrial constituted similarity to the “Huoliwang” trademark (hereinafter referred to as “reference trademark”) registered by Guangxi Huoliwang Kitchen Utensils Co., Ltd. on similar commodities. 

 

The focus of this case: whether the trademark for retrial and the reference trademark were similar on one product or similar products that caused relevant public confusion or misunderstanding. 

 

For this case, Meancase intellectual property team thought through analysis that the two trademarks constituted no similarity and would not cause relevant public confusion and misunderstanding either, and made the following explanations in dismissal retrial: 

 

The trademark for retrial had its own significance, which was obviously different from the reference trademark in general meaning, calling and general visual effect; the general trademark difference was obvious and it was not easy to cause confusion or misunderstanding in relevant general public. 

 

Finally, the Trademark Review Commission adopted the view of Meancare intellectual property team and made a dismissal retrial decision and decided to examine the retrial trademark preliminarily. Beijng Meancare intellectual property team made a complete success in that trademark dismissal retrial case and maintained successfully the legal interests of the customer.
