MUJI Shows That It Will Not Happen In China Only Called MUJI.

In recent days, the Japanese lifestyle brand Muji has lost the lawsuit because of trademark infringement, and the news that it must renamed "MUJI" in China has spread through social networks.

In response to this, we have obtained an exclusive response to the good quality plan of the company, which is not true.

Specifically, first of all, Muji and

The litigation case of the company and its subsidiaries is still in the second instance stage, and has not yet been pronounced. Therefore, it is not too early to say whether the Muji will lose the Chinese character of "Muji" because of infringement.

More importantly, the good plan stressed: "even if the above decision comes into force, the object of the judgement is only the 24 category of trademark that is only enjoyed by the cotton field Party of Beijing.

We can continue to use the trademark of "Muji" which is already available in various categories of goods.

According to the judgment of relevant cases, in China, the 24 Categories of trademarks registered as "Muji" are the first ones to be registered.

The company registration is valid until April 27, 2021, and then pferred to the plaintiff of the relevant litigation - the Beijing cotton field textile company established in 2000.

The good plan, though directed in 1999

We have applied for registration of the "Muji" trademark, but only covered sixteenth, 20, 21, 35, 41 categories of goods or services, and have not yet applied to the Trademark Office for registration of "Muji" trademarks until April 6, 2000.

This has become the key to litigation disputes.

In fact, Muji has been trying to avoid 24 words of "Muji" on trademarks and labels in the past four categories.

This time it will cause lawsuits. On the one hand, the good plan is due to a mistake made by the Shanghai company in making the Chinese tag of the 24 commodities, resulting in the four words of "Muji" not being thoroughly removed, thus giving Beijing cotton field a reason for initiating litigation.

"In this regard, we will be more strict control to ensure that the complete removal of the operation."

The good plan explains that "in the countries and regions outside China, including 24 Categories of commodities, the good plan has the trademark" all Muji ".

The only exception is the sale of 24 types of merchandise in China, that is, the trademark rights owned by Beijing cotton field. When we make the commodity tag, we must remove the "Muji" in the "MUJI Muji".

At the same time, related cases also involved "MUJI MUJI Tmall official flagship store" in the sale of 24 Categories of goods, suspected use of "Muji" trademark.

In this regard, the good plan said that it had already started technical cooperation with Tmall. At present, 24 types of products sold by flagship stores no longer show the word "Muji".

According to the information provided by the good plan, the company launched a long-term lawsuit against Beijing cotton fields in order to retrieve the 24 category of trademark rights.

The relevant lawsuit was rejected by the Supreme People's court in 2012.

At present, the two party's administrative litigation about "abolition of the right to use the trademark in 3 years" is still in progress.

At the same time, the good plan noted that nearly 30 of the Chinese market used MUJI red and font.

"The shops at the front door, after investigation, found that although these shops were different in business entities, they were all shops licensed by the Beijing cotton field Party and their subsidiaries, Beijing's Muji company.

"Muji" is a conjecture made by our predecessor Xi you company in 1980. Our company has its rights.

We will do our best to get it back. "

The good plan says.
