Shoe store

Xiaomou and Liu bought two pairs of shoes (a pair of BELLE shoes and a pair of Staccato shoes), and got a receipt on the spot. After shopping, they took two photos of the shop.

After the purchase, the notaries sealed the goods.

In accordance with the above process, the notary office has produced (2009) Notarial Certificate No. 150581st.

In the trial, the box seal was attached to the notarial box, and a pair of women's leather shoes were found in the package. After viewing, the shoes were marked with "BELLE" trademark.

The court held that, according to the relevant evidence of the trademark registration certificate submitted by the plaintiff, the plaintiff is the trademark owner of the trademark "BELLE" and "trademark BeLLE" of No. 1815147th, and the exclusive right to use the trademark shall be protected according to law in the validity period of the trademark mentioned above, and no organization or individual shall infringe upon it.

According to article fifty-second (1) and (two) of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China, "the act of using the same or similar trademark on the same commodity or similar commodity without the permission of the trademark registrant" and "selling goods that infringe the exclusive right of the trademark" are infringed on the exclusive right to use registered trademarks.

The women's shoes sold by the defendant belong to the registered trademark of the plaintiff and the scope of commodities approved for use. At the same time, the marks highlighted in the preceding commodities are the same as the plaintiff's registered trademarks and are not permitted by the plaintiff. Therefore, the commodities mentioned above are commodities that infringe the exclusive rights of registered trademarks.

The evidence cited by the defendant does not have the power to prove the legal origin of the goods mentioned above, so the act has constituted a trademark infringement. The defendant should bear the corresponding liability in addition to stopping the infringement immediately.

The court made the decision.

At present, the verdict has been legally effective.
