In June 2013, John Deere brought a lawsuit before Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court, claiming JOTEC International Heavy Industry (Qingdao) Co., Ltd. (JETEC Qingdao Company) and JOTEC International Heavy Industry (Beijing) Co., Ltd. (JOTEC Beijing Company) use a logo similar to registered mark of John Deere on harvesters and decoration similar to special decoration of John Deere’s well-known products, infringe its exclusive right to use registered mark and constitute unfair competition. John Deere required the court to order foregoing two companies to immediately cease infringement and compensate for economic losses of 400,000 yuan and reasonable expense of 100,000 yuan. Beijing Second Intermediate People’s Court made the first instance judgement, ordering JETEC Qingdao Company and JETEC Beijing Company to immediately cease to infringe trademark right of John Deere and compensate John Deere for economic losses of 400,000 yuan and reasonable expense of 50,000 yuan. JETEC Qingdao Company and JETEC Beijing Company raised an objection and instituted an appeal. At present, the case is in the second instance.
