ordinary trademark Once it is recognized as a "Chinese well-known trademark", its rights and interests can often be extended to protect. However, can operators also expand the scope of application of "China's well-known trademarks" when they use them? The answer is no. A few days ago, Ningbo Cixi Industry and Commerce Branch Bureau stopped an enterprise's violation.

The law enforcement officers found 554 pieces marked with "well-known trademark"“ Blue Pigeon Home Textile ”There are 9 kinds of sleeping mats with the words of "etc.".

Facing the inspection and inquiry of law enforcement personnel, the party concerned provided a judicial judgment issued by an intermediate court in April 2008, on which the trademark "Blue Pigeon" was recognized as a well-known trademark. However, the well-known trademark on the judgment is limited to the 24th category of bedding, not including the 20th category of western rattan sleeping mat, bamboo sleeping mat and other sleeping mats.

In addition, the words "Blue Pigeon Home Textile" prominently used by the parties also failed to obtain a trademark registration certificate. According to the preliminary investigation, the parties have sold about 3000 pieces in some supermarkets in Cixi City.
