2018/03/19

Recently, Guangdong High People's Court rendered its second-instance ruling over a trademark infringement and unfair competition case lodged by Turky-based ZER Central Trading Company against Zhongshan Ouboer Company, holding that Ouboer's usage of "O-BEKO" logos infringes ZER's trademark rights, and Ouboer's usage of "O-beko" in its English company name constitutes unfair competition. In addition, Ouboer announced on its website multiple times that its annual sales reveunes were between 5-10 million U.S. dollars, and even ever reached 50-100 million U.S dollars. Considering all these facts, the court ordered Ouboer to pay 1 million yuan in damages for ZER's economic loss.
