Beijing Court Takes CARTIER Trademark Infringement Claim

Beijing No.2 Intermediate People's Court recently took Cartier International N.V's complaint on Foshan Yinuo Ceramics Company and Beijing Yulong Yinuo Company’s infringement of its trademark.

Cartier Company registered some CARTIER trademarks in the class of jewelry and other varieties in China. Cartier claimed that the two defendants used 卡地亚, CARTIER and 卡迪亚 symbols on ceramics, and placed several articles on their website, which would cause public confusion and violates the principle of good faith. Cartier then filed suit to the court on the ground of trademark infringement and unfair competition, and sought injunction, eliminated negative effects and 800,000 yuan in damages.

We will follow the developments of the case.
