The plaintiff believes that the pictures of the defendant's products, the packing cases and packing instructions do not prove the actual use of the products, and the corresponding packing shall be subject to the infringement and unpacking. In this case, we advocate trademark infringement and unfair competition, not a dispute over packing and decoration, and the evidence of the defendant is not relevant.

    First of all, about the defendant Wu Jianlan business department, Opai Happy Kitchen Company, Opai Hupai kitchen appliances Company, opai electric appliance company whether there is infringement of the plaintiff's right to exclusive use of the registered trademark.

    The plaintiff is the owner of the exclusive right of the registered trademark "OPPEIN" No. 4378572 and "OPPEIN" No. 7731876, whose lawful rights and interests are protected by law. In this case, the defendant jian-lan wu shop sales of kitchen burning gas products, on the product packaging label "opie established overlord series", "zhongshan opie happy kitchen appliance co., LTD.", "nanchang opie electric appliance co., LTD.", "OUPAI green kitchen", "the home has love OUPAI" and the product labeled "OUPAI", including "OUPAI" and also "OPPEIN" from the sound, form and meaning, there is a big difference, there is no trademark approximation. According to the Supreme People's Court on some issues of applicable law in trademark civil dispute cases to explain "the provisions specified in the first paragraph of article 1, will be the same or similar registered trademark with others words as enterprise size in use highlights on the same or similar goods, the relevant public could produce misidentification, belong to the infringement of a registered trademark of behavior. This case, although the European happy kitchen, opie electric company "European" font size with the plaintiff, "European" word mark is the same, but the plaintiff notarial evidence of member product packaging, product manuals, warranty CARDS are based on normal fonts, annotation, in the form of an enterprise name full name is not to "European" two words out outstanding use from the enterprise name, "opie established overlord series", "European" nor prominent, therefore, the plaintiff claims opie happy kitchen, ou Pai hutch defends electric company, the company sent electronics company in the alleged infringement product to use the words "European" violate its trademark, The court dismisses it as inadmissible in the absence of facts and legal grounds. In summary, the defendant Opie Happy Kitchen Company, Opie Kitchen Appliances Company, Opie electric Appliances Company, Wu Jianlan business department did not infringe the plaintiff's right to exclusive use of the registered trademark.

In this case, the plaintiff has a series of registered trademarks such as "OPPEIN" and "OPPEIN" under his name, and the registered trademark No. 1137521 has been identified as a well-known trademark, and its products and trademarks have also won a number of honors. "OPPEIN", as a highly significant fabricated word, has gained high popularity. Defendant opie happy kitchen argues that its enterprise name is used with the permission of the authorization of the registered trademark "opie happy kitchen", the enterprise size with the plaintiff "opie household" existence difference, not constitute the unfair competition, we believe that the defendant opie happy kitchen with the plaintiff in the same industry competitors, company should know the plaintiff's "European" in the industry have high visibility. "Opie happy kitchen" the scope of the use of a registered trademark approved as the class 35, the defendant opie happy kitchen company to "zhongshan opie happy kitchen appliance co., LTD." annotation on the class 11 smoke lampblack machine product, beyond the "opie happy kitchen" trademark use of approved scope, so the defendant opie happy kitchen should be used company enterprise name rather than a trademark. The defendant Opie electric Appliance company argued that it was no longer in production and operation and was preparing to cancel the company without changing its name. However, it did not provide evidence to testify, which was not accepted by the court. In conclusion, we believe that "Europe" is clearly identifiable, the defendant opie happy kitchen, the European electric enterprise company name "European" enterprise name "Europe" is the same with the plaintiff, at the same time the three defendants in product use of "the home has love OUPAI" with the plaintiff used "the home has love with European" from the sound, form and meaning, basic same, obvious clings to the economic interests of the plaintiff's reputation for deliberately, its behavior is enough to make the relevant public confusion, as there is a specific relationship between, constitutes unfair competition, and shall bear the corresponding liability for compensation.
