China Resources is a well-known state-owned enterprise, and its No. 773121 "China Resources" trademark (hereinafter referred to as the trademark involved in the case) has been approved for use in the 36th type of capital investment, real estate management and other services. Because it believed that Tianjin Huarun Haojing Hotel used the word "Huarun" in its corporate name, hotel operations, and advertising, and was suspected of infringing on the exclusive rights of the registered trademark involved and constituted unfair competition. China Resources sued Huarun Haojing Hotel to the court.
Recently, the second-instance verdict of the case came out. Beijing Municipal High People's Court held that the actions involved in the case constituted trademark infringement and unfair competition. The court ruled to reject the appeal and uphold the first-instance judgment made by the Beijing Intellectual Property Court; that is, Huarun Haojing Hotel to stop the infringement and change the company name, to compensate China Resources for economic losses and reasonable expenses totaling more than 200,000 yuan, and to publish a statement to eliminate the impact.
