Order the defendant Qingdao Opai Jueneng Electric Appliance Co., LTD to stop unfair competition immediately, namely change the enterprise name immediately, and the changed enterprise name shall not contain the word "Opai"; 4. Order the defendant to compensate the plaintiff for the economic loss and reasonable expense of safeguarding the rights, totaling RMB 200,000 yuan; 5. Order the costs of the case to be borne by the defendant. Facts and Reasons: Founded in 1994, the plaintiff is a comprehensive domestic integrated service provider of modern integrated household, whose products cover the fields of integrated wardrobe, kitchen appliances, integrated bathroom, commercial kitchen utensils and so on. The plaintiff is the registered trademark holder of "OPPEIN" and "OPPEIN". After decades of painstaking operation, the plaintiff has turned "OPPEIN" into a household, electrical and sanitary brand known throughout the country. The brand has won "China famous brand products", "China famous trademark" and other good reputation. "Have a family, have love, have Europe" this slogan has a very high influence in the consumer, and has been fully affirmed. In the eyes of the relevant public, "Opai" has not only become the representative symbol of the plaintiff's products and enterprise names, but also become a significant identification mark indicating the market subject and commodity source of the plaintiff and its affiliated enterprises.

    In September 2017, according to the investigation of the plaintiff, the words "Opie" and "Opie kitchen and Bathroom" were highlighted on the store signboards, interior decoration, shelves and other places of the store, while the household gas cooker products were sold in the store. Involved in household type gas cooker products packaging box marked "Qingdao opie shaped electric appliance co., LTD.", "OPPENTLE", "home, love, Qingdao opie" wording, etc, and the plaintiff signed jiang wenli endorsement image picture, the place such as panel cookers products, products involved sign marked "Kowloon, shenzhen opie electric appliance co., LTD.", "OPPEIMDQ", "opie, Kowloon" and other words. In addition, the name card wholesale project obtained on the spot shows the words "European kitchen and sanitary appliances", etc., and the plaintiff entrusts the notary office to carry out evidence preservation for the above behavior. After investigation, the store involved in the case was operated by saint Bailun Huwei Firm in Longhu Town, Xinzheng City. The products involved were produced by Qingdao Opai Jueneng Electric Appliance Co., LTD., Foshan Shiwang Electric Appliance Co., LTD., and Shenzhen Kowloon Opai Electric Appliance Co., LTD.

    In conclusion, the plaintiff believes that the trademark rights of the plaintiff were infringed by the use of the word "Eu pai" in the business premises of the defendant St. Bailun Huwei in Longhu Town, Xinzheng City and the production and sale of the products involved in the case by the defendant. At the same time, the defendant Qingdao Opai Jueneng Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. registered the enterprise name and advertising language with the name of "Opai" without justified reasons and used the plaintiff's original star endorsement image without justified reasons, which was enough to cause market confusion; The defendant, Shengbailun Huwei Firm in Longhu Town, Xinzheng City, used the word "Opai" without justified reasons and sold the products involved in the above logo at the same time, which violated the principle of good faith and recognized business ethics, and the above behaviors constituted unfair competition. Therefore, in order to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests, the plaintiff appealed to the court, the request to judge as requested. At the trial, the plaintiff withdrew the lawsuit against the defendant Shenzhen Jiulong Opai Electric Appliance Co., LTD., and the court granted permission.

    The defendant, Shengbailun Huwei Firm in Longhu Town, Xinzheng City, replied: I served in the army from 1998 to 2014, and entered the industry after retirement. I got the business license on June 30, 2016, and did not do it until the Spring Festival in 2018 due to poor management. Personal knowledge of intellectual property is insufficient, they purchase goods from others and then sell them. The factory sales personnel sell Ope door-to-door. I have no way of knowing whether the plaintiff violated the exclusive right to use the registered trademark involved in the case.

    The defendant Qingdao Opai Juneng Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. replied that: the plaintiff's claim has no facts and legal basis. The respondent is a company legally registered by the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. This case is a trademark infringement dispute, unfair competition does not belong to the scope of the case; Since the respondent has no infringement facts, the plaintiff's request for the respondent to compensate for the economic loss and the reasonable expense of safeguarding the rights has no factual basis; Even if the products sold by Defendant 1 May be infringing, the claim for compensation of 200,000 yuan is too high.

    The defendant, Foshan Shiwang Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. replied that: the respondent has never produced the products involved, nor has it conducted any transaction with Respondent 1, so this case has nothing to do with the respondent, and there is no factual basis for the plaintiff to ask the respondent to bear the responsibility.

    Opened in court accused of infringing products, the more visible outside packing with black bold font marked "OPPENTLE" and "the home has love Qingdao Europe clique", more than outer packing sealing tape with the defendant opie shaped electric appliance co., LTD. Qingdao enterprise name, packing side with "Qingdao opie shaped electric appliance co., LTD. (logo)", "manufacturers shipping magnate electric appliance co., LTD.", and the corresponding address, the address information, packing boxes on both sides with jiang wenli endorsement pictures.

    The court believes that the focus of the dispute in this case is: 1. Whether the actions of each defendant infringe upon the exclusive right of registered trademark no. 4378572, No. 1137521 and No. 7731876 enjoyed by the plaintiff; 2. Ii. Whether the behavior of the defendant Qingdao Opai Jueneng Electric Appliance Co., Ltd. constitutes unfair competition, and whether it should change the enterprise name; If it constitutes an infringement, whether the defendants should bear and how to bear civil liability.

    Focus on one, the trademark law of the People's Republic of China article 57 in the second paragraph: without the permission of the trademark registrant, used on the same kind of goods with similar trademark registered trademark, or on the similar products to use its registered trademark identical or similar trademarks, easy to cause confusion, the use of a registered trademark infringement.

    In this case, is accused of infringing products packing with black bold font marked "OPPENTLE" logo, the "OPPENTLE" logo with the plaintiff has no. 7731876 "OPPEIN" registered trademark, the similar on the letters, arranging, and was accused of infringing products and the registered trademark of the plaintiff enjoy range approved to use the same, for the same goods, to ordinary consumers view, easy to cause confusion, so that the mistake is the plaintiff products or with product has relevance, therefore, The alleged infringing product shall be deemed as infringing the exclusive right to use the registered trademark "OPPEIN" no. 7731876 enjoyed by the plaintiff. The defendant, Saint Bailen Huwei Firm in Longhu Town, Xinzheng City, sold the infringement products involved in the case. Therefore, its behavior violated the exclusive right to use the registered trademark "OPPEIN" no. 7731876 enjoyed by the plaintiff. The place such as the other, their brand in the stores, the shelves with a word "Europe", the no. 4378572 with the plaintiff "Europe", 1137521 "European" registered trademark, the font is slightly different, only overall very approximate, easy to cause confusion or mistake, therefore, the behavior violated at the same time the plaintiff no. 4378572, 1137521th of a registered trademark.

    Concerning the second focus, article 58 of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China stipulates that: where a registered trademark of another person or an unregistered well-known trademark is used as the shop name of an enterprise, thus misleading the public and constituting an act of unfair competition, the case shall be dealt with in accordance with the Law of the People's Republic of China against Unfair Competition. Since the infringement in this case occurred before the enforcement of the current Law of the People's Republic of China against Unfair Competition, the Law of the People's Republic of China against Unfair Competition, which took effect on December 1, 1993, shall be applied in this case. Article 2, paragraph 1, of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law of the People's Republic of China (which came into force on December 1, 1993) stipulates that business operators shall abide by the principles of voluntariness, equality, fairness, honesty and credibility and observe generally recognized business ethics in their market transactions. In this case, the plaintiff is the holder of the "European" registered trademark, the trademark has certain market popularity, the defendant opie shaped electric appliance co., LTD. Qingdao will be the same as the plaintiff's registered trademark of the word "ou" for the enterprise name registration in font size, and used on the same commodity, its behavior is enough to make the relevant public to mistake the Qingdao opie shaped electric appliance co., LTD., there is a specific relationship with the plaintiff, then the product mix of the two for the same product market main body, harmed the plaintiff to "European" trademark rights, violates the principle of good faith, has violated the recognized business ethics, unfair competition, It shall bear the civil liability for ceasing to use or changing the enterprise name according to law.

    Focus on three, we think, more than product outer packing sealing tape with the defendant opie shaped electric appliance co., LTD. Qingdao enterprise name, and packing side with "Qingdao opie shaped electric appliance co., LTD. (logo)", "manufacturers shipping magnate electric appliance co., LTD.", and the corresponding address, the address information, therefore, be held to the product is the defendant involved Qingdao opie shaped electric appliance co., LTD., the defendant foshan shipping magnate electric appliance co., LTD., production and sales together, Its labeling of "OPPENTLE" on the products it produces and sells violates the exclusive right to use the registered trademark "OPPEIN" No. 7731876 of the plaintiff, and its labeling of "Qingdao Oppe Jueneng Electric Appliance Co., LTD" also constitutes unfair competition. Therefore, it should bear the civil liability to stop the infringement and compensate for the loss according to law.

    On the question of the amount of compensation for the loss. Article 63 of the Trademark Law of the People's Republic of China provides that the amount of compensation for the infringement of the exclusive right to use a trademark shall be determined according to the actual loss suffered by the right holder as a result of the infringement. Where the actual loss is difficult to determine, it may be determined in accordance with the profits the infringer has gained from the infringement; The amount of compensation shall include the reasonable expenses paid by the right to stop the infringement. If it is difficult to determine the actual losses suffered by the obligee as a result of the infringement, the interests gained by the infringer as a result of the infringement, or the licensing fee of the registered trademark, the people's court shall, in light of the circumstances of the infringing act, make a judgment to pay compensation of not more than THREE million yuan. The Supreme People's Court on some issues of applicable law in trademark civil dispute cases to explain "stipulated in article 16, when determining the amount of compensation, the people's court should consider the nature of the infringement, during the period, the consequences, the reputation of the trademark, the trademark license fee amount and type of trademark licensing, time, scope and to stop the infringing act reasonable expenses of the factors such as comprehensive. Article 20 of the Law of the People's Republic of China against Unfair Competition stipulates that if a business operator violates the provisions of this Law and causes damage to the injured business operator, it shall be liable for damages. If it is difficult to calculate the losses of the injured business operator, the amount of compensation shall be the profits made by the infringer during the period of infringement. It shall also bear the reasonable expenses paid by the injured operator for investigating the ACTS of unfair competition committed by the operator which infringe upon its lawful rights and interests.

    In this case, the plaintiff failed to evidence to prove that the loss of its situation, also failed to prove the defendant's tort profit amount of proof, as a result, according to the law, our college in view of the plaintiff's trademark value degree, the defendant's subjective fault, tort, period, consequences, and the properties of the plaintiff reasonable expense for stopping the infringement of the defendant, determined the defendant Qingdao opie shaped electric appliance co., LTD., foshan city, the defendant shipping magnate electric appliance co., LTD. Jointly to compensate the plaintiff economic loss of 80000 yuan, the defendant xinzheng longhu town st hk Aaron hutch defends firms to compensate the plaintiff economic loss of 20000 yuan.

    In conclusion, according to the law of the People's Republic of China civil law article one hundred and eighteen, article one hundred and thirty-four, paragraph 1 (1) and (7), the trademark law of the People's Republic of China article sixty-three, article 57 and article 58, "anti-unfair competition law of the People's Republic of China" (come into force on December 1, 1993), article 2, article 20, the Supreme People's Court on some issues of applicable law in trademark civil dispute cases to explain, article 16 of the act, the decision is as follows:
