    Facts and Reasons: Founded in 1994, the plaintiff is a leading brand in the whole cabinet industry. Its products cover the whole wardrobe, kitchen appliances, bathroom and commercial kitchen utensils and other fields. The series trademarks of "" and" OPPEIN "owned by the plaintiff, after decades of careful creation and huge investment in advertising, have been molded into household, kitchen, bathroom brands that are well known throughout the country. This brand has successively won the reputation of" China famous brand products ", "China well-known trademark" and so on. At the same time, in February 2017, the plaintiff was successfully listed in Shanghai with stock code 603208, which further laid the leading brand advantage of the plaintiff in the industry. Nowadays, in the public mind, "Opai" series of trademarks is not only a representative symbol of the plaintiff's products and enterprise names, but also a significant identification mark indicating the market subject and commodity source of the plaintiff and the plaintiff's affiliated enterprises. In December 2017, the plaintiff discovered the defendant double xin sheng sanitary ware arm, is building materials company in store signs, shop, poster and card extensive use of "Europe", "OPPAIM" sells "Europe", the word "OPPAIM" the flower is aspersed, faucet, toilet, in the place such as product packaging, product, manual annotation "European", "the home has love with European", "OPPAIM", "European science and technology (China) co., LTD.", "guangdong dream sent hutch defends co., LTD., from", and with pictures and the plaintiff spokesman sun li's signature. In addition, the defendant Opie used the word "Opie" on its website to produce and sell the products involved. The plaintiff applied for notary office to preserve evidence. Upon enquiry, it was found that the founder of Opai Technology (China) Co., Ltd. was the defendant, Mr. Huang Hanming. The company did not have a business registration certificate in Hong Kong and had no actual place of operation. The defendant Xinshang building Materials Company is a one-person limited company, and the defendant Huang Xijun is the sole shareholder of the defendant Xinshang building materials Company. To sum up, the plaintiff believes that the five defendants intentionally illegally used the words "Opai", "OPPAIM", "OPPAIM", "OPPAIM" and "OPPAIM Technology (China) Co., LTD" in the stores, products and promotional brochures in order to keep up with the plaintiffs' reputation of "OPPAIM" and "OPPAIM". The defendant, Mr Wong Han-ming, who was not a Resident of Hong Kong, took advantage of the relaxed industrial and commercial registration system in Hong Kong to register Opai Technology (China) Co., Ltd. and apply it to the products in question, which constituted an infringement of the plaintiff's right to the enterprise name. The above-mentioned behavior of the defendant not only infringes the plaintiff's right to exclusive use of the registered trademark, but also violates the principle of good faith and recognized business ethics, constitutes unfair competition to the plaintiff, causes great economic loss to the plaintiff, and shall bear the corresponding legal liability. As a shareholder of a one-person company, defendant Huang Xijun shall be liable for the debts of the company.

Wang Shouzhen saved the screenshot of the above webpage. On January 22, 2018, the notary office issued a (2017) Notarial certificate of Laifengcheng Certificate No. 2117 to certify the above process.

    Other ascertained facts.

    The business department of the defendant Shuangsheng Sanitary ware was established on May 2, 2013 as an individual industrial and commercial business operated by Li Shuangfei. Its business scope covers the sales of sanitary ware, hardware, plumbing equipment, building materials, stone and ceramic products.

    The defendant's dream company on December 23, was founded in 2014, is a limited liability company, the legal representative as the defendant Huang Hanming, shareholders to outsiders Li Jinman Huang Hanming and case, the defendant scope of business for sale hutch supplies, furniture, ceramic sanitary ware, bathroom cabinet, metal products, cabinets, cistern, kitchen appliances, plumbing, water purification equipment, intelligent sanitary ware, tile products.

    On 24 March 2010, the defendant, Mr Wong Han-ming, established Opai Technology (China) Co., LTD in Hong Kong as a limited company with the sole director being Mr Wong Han-ming. European science and technology (China) co., LTD. No. 8194500 "OPPAIM" trademark registrant, the trademark shall be used goods for 11 kinds of faucet, shower basin, toilet, sit implement, the urinal (sanitation), toilet seat, hot steam bath equipment, bathroom equipment, basin of wash one's hands (health equipment parts), water washing equipment, registration is valid from May 28, 2011 to 2021 on May 27.

    The defendant, Xinshang Building Materials Company, is a limited liability company solely owned by natural persons, and the shareholder is the defendant Huang Xijun.

    We think the case for the infringement trademark rights and unfair competition disputes, "OPPAIM love life have a European" issued by the store POS credit card slip shows merchant named "qinhuai district, nanjing city double sheng sanitary ware shop", the shop in the word "shuang-fei li" account for "shuang-fei li" are printed on the card of China construction bank, postal, icbc bank account, so we decided that the defendant double sheng sanitary ware shop of sales is accused of infringing products, has been accused of infringing products marked with the "guangdong dream sent hutch defends co., LTD., from" the words and the company's other information, Therefore, the court confirms that the accused infringing product is produced by the defendant Omonpie And the website involved is used by the defendant. The court does not support the plaintiff's allegation that the defendant Xinshang Building Materials Company and Huang Xijun sold the accused infringing products, because there is no factual basis. For the disputes in this case, the analysis is as follows:

    Whether the defendant constitutes trademark infringement.

    (1) Using a trademark identical with a registered trademark on the same kind of goods without the permission of the trademark registrant; (2) using a trademark similar to its registered trademark on the same kind of goods or using a trademark identical with or similar to its registered trademark on similar goods without the permission of the trademark registrant, which is likely to cause confusion; (3) selling goods that infringe upon the right to exclusive use of a registered trademark..." In this case, the plaintiff obtained the exclusive right to use the trademark No. 4378572 according to the law after registration. The trademark is now in the period of validity, and approved to use the goods as the 11th class, including gas stove, faucet, bathroom equipment, lavatory basin (sanitary equipment parts), bath equipment, toilet, kitchen lampblack machine and so on. First of all, the double sheng sanitary ware sales department in the store to use the "OPPAIM" logo and poster, "European" or "opie wei yu", the "European", "opie bathroom" and "OPPAIM" logo font, background color all have obvious difference, so the "European", "opie bathroom" is highlighted as a trademark use, same as the plaintiff "registered trademark" text no. 4378572, constitute a trademark is the same, and the double sheng sanitary ware sales department sales sanitary ware products displayed in the shop with no. 4378572 ", "use of a registered trademark approved goods belong to the same kind of goods, Therefore, the plaintiff no. 4378572 "" registered trademark exclusive right has been infringed. Secondly, the defendant is accused of infringement of sanitary ware sales department in its sales product outer packing and manual positive middle position with large fonts of "love life have a European", the word "Europe", while not prominent used as a trademark, but according to article seventy-six of the regulations on the implementation of the trademark law of the People's Republic of China "with others on the same goods or similar goods registered trademark identical with or similar to the symbol used as name of commodity or commodity packaging, misleading the public, belonging to the paragraph 2 of article 57 of the trademark law of the right to exclusive use of a registered trademark infringement." ", the above words are easy to make the relevant public to the source of the goods misidentify or think that its source and the plaintiff's registered trademark of the goods have a specific connection, so the defendant Shuangsheng sanitary ware business department's behavior also violated the plaintiff no. 4378572 "" registered trademark exclusive right.

    To sum up, the defendant Ou Meng Pai company produced and sold the accused infringing products, and the defendant Shuang Sheng Sanitary ware business Department sold the accused infringing products and used the words "Ou Pai", "Ou Pai Bathroom" and "Ou Pai Love life" in the store advertising posters and sales list. All these are ACTS infringing the exclusive right of the plaintiff's trademark.

    2. Whether the defendant's conduct constitutes unfair competition.

    According to article 6 of the Law of the People's Republic of China against Unfair Competition, "Business operators shall not commit any of the following confusing ACTS that may cause them to be mistaken for other people's goods or have specific connections with others:... (2) unauthorized use of the names of enterprises (including abbreviation, shop name, etc.), of social organizations (including abbreviation, etc.), names (including pen names, stage names, translated names, etc.) that have certain influence on others... ." In this case, the plaintiff opie household group co., LTD., founded in 1994, on July 1, early in 1997, has 20 class furniture, kitchen cabinets, counters and 11 class kitchen stove, gas stove, electric cookers, register the "" trademark on goods such as, in 2007 the faucet, bathroom equipment, wash one's hands basin (sanitary equipment parts), shower equipment, implement register the" "trademark on goods such as, the main overall kitchen, cabinet, wardrobe, sanitary ware products such as whole. The plaintiff to register to use on the sideboard goods "" trademark was identified as well-known trademarks in 2009, the European brand household cabinet from 2007 to 2010 was identified as Chinese famous brand products, its use in the sideboard, furniture (chest), kitchen smoke lampblack machine, shower equipment" OPPEIN ", "" trademark was identified as the famous trademark in guangzhou in 2016. At the same time, from 2011 to 2016, the plaintiff put advertisements on many newspapers and magazines, CCTV, Hunan SATELLITE TV and other media to continuously promote its "Opai" brand. , therefore, the plaintiff's "European" for the shop name and logo, as its on the sideboard commodity 20 well-known trademark recognition on the operation of the kitchen and bathroom products have a certain amount of radiation effect, and after the plaintiff in the whole kitchen, bathroom products continue to use and promotion of "European" name and trademark of the plaintiff in the same industry have a certain influence, belongs to the rules of law "has certain influence enterprise name (including, font size, etc.)".

    This case, European science and technology (China) co., LTD. Is the defendant Huang Hanming company, established in Hong Kong, after the defendant Huang Hanming was established and an outsider with the plaintiff business scope is similar to the European dream company, and served as the legal representative, company production, sales, appointed by the defendant's dream annotation "European science and technology (China) co., LTD." of the enterprise name is accused of infringing products. European science and technology (China) co., LTD., enterprise size and the plaintiff has a certain influence, "European" font size is the same, and both the similar products, consumers will be accused of infringement product easily mistaken for the plaintiff products or think there is some kind of association, the accused of infringement product at the same time with the plaintiff "European" brand spokesman sun li's image, enhanced the accused infringing products linked to the plaintiff, deepen the misunderstanding of consumers. Therefore, the behavior of the defendant Huang Hanming and Oumeng Group is the unauthorized use of the plaintiff's name "Oupeng", which is easy to confuse the relevant public.
