    On September 26, 2014, the plaintiff, Opple Lighting Co., Ltd. and the defendants, Yao Pingxiang and Song Xigen, filed a lawsuit against the court. After the court accepted the case, it formed a collegial panel according to law and held the trial in public on December 10, 2014. The plaintiff's agent Zhai Mingyue and Wang Yan, the defendant Yao Pingxiang and his agent Xu Xiangmei and the defendant Song Xigen attended the proceedings. The case is now closed.

    Opple Lighting Co., Ltd. sues that the plaintiff is a well-known lighting enterprise in China and a leading brand in the lighting industry. It has successively obtained honors and qualifications such as "China famous brand product", "National Model Enterprise of satisfied after-sales Products" and "Guangdong Famous Trademark". In 2007, "Op" trademark was identified as a well-known trademark in China and became the first choice for consumers to buy lighting equipment. Therefore, the plaintiff brand has become the target of many counterfeiters. On May 2, 2014, the plaintiff, the survey found the defendant maicun deng ring lamp act the role ofing "ring" in its business places of our stores selling counterfeit trademark the plaintiff without authorization "op platinum sharp" bath bully, plaintiffs entrust notary office for the evidence preservation, upon further investigation, the plaintiff discovered the Song Xigen production products are the defendant, the defendant Song Xigen also production, the sale "op platinum sharp" flat light. Two defendants without the plaintiff's authorization, without authorization, violate the act of the plaintiff trademark goods production and sales, in violation of the trademark law of the People's Republic of China and related laws and regulations, caused great economic losses to the plaintiff, in order to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the plaintiff, filed a lawsuit, request: 1, ordered two defendants to immediately stop the infringement of the plaintiff, 6647616, 6647583, 7182788, 1424486, 6647584, 6647559, the behavior of the trademark; 2. The defendant Song Xigen was ordered to compensate the plaintiff for economic losses and reasonable expenses of safeguarding the rights with a total amount of RMB 1 million, and the defendant Yao Pingxiang shall bear joint liability within RMB 50,000; 3. The litigation costs shall be borne by the defendant.

    Defendant Yao Pingxiang pleaded that: Defendant Yao Pingxiang sold the "Opal Platinum" Bath ba which was purchased from defendant Song Xigen and shipped directly by the manufacturer. Defendant Yao Pingxiang did not know whether it was an infringement, and the manufacturer should be responsible if the infringement occurred. The defendant Yao Pingxiang mainly sold lighting, but the sales volume of Bath Bully was very small.

    Defendant Song Xigen pleaded that: the trademark of "Oppel Platinum" used by defendant Song Xigen in the products involved in the case and the corresponding graphic characters had applied for registration with the State Trademark Office on June 6, 2013, and the preliminary examination and announcement had been made on July 20, 2014. The three-month objection period had expired, and the registration and announcement had been made on October 21, 2014. The defendant Song Xigen has already enjoyed the exclusive right to use the registered trademark of "Opal Platinic" and there is no infringement. There are obvious differences in the words, patterns and colors between the trademark of "Opeprin" and the trademark of "Opeprin" in the products involved in the case sold by the defendant and the trademark held by the plaintiff, which is not easy to cause confusion. The registered trademark of "OP" held by the plaintiff is approved to be used in the category of goods only including lamps, daylight lamps, etc., and does not include integrated suspended ceiling. Suppose there is infringement, the defendant subjectively has no malice, and the defendant is a self-employed person with a very small business scale, very little sales of the products involved, and a very short period of time, and the defendant does not get high profits from it. The reasonable expenses claimed by the plaintiff do not provide corresponding evidence to prove that even if there is an excessive amount, and the evidence including the notarial certificate is not generated solely from this case and should not all be borne by the defendant. To sum up, the request to dismiss the plaintiff's claim according to law.

    In support of his claim, the plaintiff presented the following evidence:

    1. Certificate of trademark No. 7182788, certificate of assignment of approved trademark, certificate of alteration of registered trademark. Certificate: The plaintiff is the owner of trademark No. 7182788.

    6. (2014) Notarial Certificate No. 3592 of Laifengcheng Certificate. The plaintiff is the exclusive right of OPPLE+ OPPLE+ graphics Trademark No. 1424486. Proof: The trademark No. 1424486 has been registered on the lamps and lanterns in July, 2000. Because the trademark is a well-known trademark, it should be protected across classes.

    7. The business registration information of the plaintiff and the defendant, which proves the fact that the plaintiff and the defendant have a competitive relationship and the subject qualification of the defendant. Both the defendant and the plaintiff have the project of "Bath bully" in their business registration. Therefore, the infringement ACTS of the defendant have an impact on the plaintiff's business. At the same time the defendant Song Xigen industrial and commercial registration did not produce the record of lamps and lanterns, only lighting appliances.

    Group III Evidence 8. (2014) The notarization certificate of Pingyin Certificate No.193 and the sealed object of the notary office.

    9. (2014) Pingyin Certificate No. 400 notarized and sealed by the notary office.

(2013) Notarial Certificate no. 9916 of Hu Huang Certificate, (2014) Notarial Certificate No. 3593 of Laifeng City Certificate, (2014) Notarial Certificate No. 3594 of Laifeng City Certificate. Proof: the amount of compensation claimed by the plaintiff takes account of the factors such as the well-known trademark, ranking in the industry, benefit scale and popularity among consumers.

    Defendant Yao Pingxiang has no objection to the first and second set of evidence. No objection is made to evidence 8 in the third set of evidence, and no cross-examination opinion is issued on evidence 9 on the ground of ignorance; In the fourth group of evidence, I have no objection to the sales ticket of "Lu-ring lighting", and I am not clear about other expense documents and contracts. However, I maintain that all expenses should not be borne by the defendant Yao Pingxiang.

    The defendant Song Xigen had no objection to the first set of evidence; There is no objection to the second set of evidence, but it is believed that the defendant has the business scope of lamps, and the lighting apparatus itself contains lamps; I have no opinions on the process of the third group of evidence notarization and the sealed articles that are opened in court. It is recognized that it is produced and sold by itself, but it is claimed that the "Opal" products produced by it are not the same or similar to the trademark of the plaintiff. The fourth set of evidence in the attorney's fee is not recognized, that the attorney's fee, legal costs should be determined according to the amount of judgment. No comments on other invoices. The Opp words and English used by the plaintiff in fluorescent lamps and fluorescent lamps are China well-known trademarks, but those used in other products are not China well-known trademarks, and China well-known trademarks are enjoyed by Guangdong Opp Lighting Electric Appliance Co., LTD., and are not the plaintiffs.

    The defendant, Yao Pingxiang, did not provide rebuttal evidence.

    The defendant Song Xigen provided the following evidence to refute the plaintiff's claim:

    1. A notice of acceptance of registration application.

    2. (2014) A notarial certificate of Zhejiang Jiayu Certificate, Minzi No. 5338.

    Evidence 1-2 proves that the trademark of "Opal Platinum" used in the commodity involved was applied for registration by Song Xigen and has passed the preliminary examination notice and registration notice. Song Xigen already has the right to use the trademark.

    The plaintiff has no objection to the authenticity of the evidence provided by the defendant Song Xigen, claiming that the trademark is in the process of objection and is still in an uncertain state. Therefore, it cannot be proved that the defendant Song Xigen enjoys the right to exclusive use of the trademark.

    Defendant Yao Pingxiang has no objection to the evidence provided by defendant Song Xigen.

    The sealed products involved in the case were produced and sold by Wangdian Jiejie Electric Appliance Factory in Xiuzhou District of Jiaxing operated by the defendant Song Xigen. The defendant, Yao Pingxiang, operated a lighting shop in Heze Huadu Commercial Port, which sold the model T60-3 "integrated ceiling electrical components". The trademark law of the People's Republic of China the first (2) of article 57 respectively, the first item (3) regulation: "without the permission of the trademark registrant, used on the same kind of goods with similar trademark registered trademark, or to use its registered trademark in the similar products of the same or similar trademark, easy to cause confusion", "sales infringement of registered trademark" all belong to the use of a registered trademark infringement. The Supreme People's Court on some issues of applicable law in trademark civil dispute cases to explain "as prescribed in paragraph 1 of article 11 of similar products, refers to the function, purpose, the production department, sales channels, consumption object is the same, or the relevant public generally think that the existence of a specific connection, easy to cause confusion. Article 12 stipulates that whether a commodity or a service is similar or not shall be judged comprehensively on the basis of the general understanding of the relevant public on the commodity or service; The International Classification of Goods and Services for Trademark Registration and the Classification of Similar Goods and Services may serve as a reference for the determination of similar goods and services. The LED flat lamp involved in the case belongs to the same kind of commodity as the lamp in category 11 of the approved trademark of OPp +OPPLE+ No. 1424486 and trademark No. 7182788. "Integration ceiling electric components involved" collection of indoor heating, ventilation, lighting, and no. 6647616, no. 6647583 is a trademark, trademark, logo, no. 6647559 6647584 7182788 trademark for approval to use the bathroom unit 11 goods, electric heating device function, bath bully in such aspects as purpose, sales channels, consumption object, according to the relevant public goods the general understanding of comprehensive judgment, It should be concluded that the product named "integrated ceiling electrical components" produced by the defendant Song Xigen is similar to bathroom devices, electric heating devices and bath bullies. The "LED flat light" and "integrated ceiling electrical components" involved in the case used the combined logo of OUPUBORUI+ Oppel Platin + graphics. Although the Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce has accepted the application of the defendant Song Xigen for the registration of the trademark, the trademark is still in the application for trademark objection and has not been approved for registration. The most recognition part is the composite logo "op platinum sharp" four words, the defendant when using the logo in the product packaging and "op" and "platinum sharp" respectively with different color font, "op" two characters to orange, "platinum sharp" 2 words to black, which will "op platinum sharp" four word segmentation into "op" and "platinum sharp" two phrases. After years of publicity and use, the opu series trademarks, which the plaintiff enjoys the right to exclusive use of trademarks, have gained extensive popularity and influence. The word "Opu" is not a fixed phrase, but has strong originality and distinctiveness, which the two defendants, as the lighting appliance operators, should know. Products involved with the combination of the words "op platinum sharp" logo, easy to make the relevant public mistaken for a euro products in the production of the plaintiff or there is a special relationship with the plaintiff, with the plaintiff's 1424486 euro + OPPLE + graphics trademark, no. 7182788, no. 6647616 is a trademark, trademark, no. 6647583 no. 6647584, no. 6647559 is a trademark, trademark constitutes a similar, no. 7182788 is infringed the plaintiff is the trademark shall enjoy the rights to exclusive use of trademarks. When the defendant Yao Pingxiang purchased the products involved in the case, he failed to fulfill his duty of reasonable examination, could not provide the purchase contract, invoice and other evidence, and could not be exempted from the liability for compensation. The plaintiff requested the two defendants to immediately stop the infringement of the plaintiff's exclusive right to use the trademark and compensate the plaintiff's economic losses and reasonable expenses of safeguarding their rights. The facts are clear and the evidence is sufficient, which should be supported.

    Questions about the amount of compensation for the economic losses, the provisions of article sixty-three of the "trademark law of the People's Republic of China, the holder of the infringed by actual losses, the infringer because of infringing the interests, the registered trademark license fee is difficult to determine, by the people's court according to the circumstances of the infringement of the compensation not exceeding three million yuan. The supreme people's court on some issues of applicable law in trademark civil dispute cases to explain "in paragraph 2, 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 the amount of royalties, the types of trademark licensing, time, scope and to stop the infringing act reasonable expenses of the factors such as comprehensive. In view of the actual loss of the plaintiff for infringement, the benefit (received by the defendant for infringement and the registered trademark license fee are difficult to determine, in our comprehensive consideration involved trademark awareness, the two defendants' scale, the action of tort, fault degree and the plaintiff's rights must be reasonable cost factors, reasonably determine the compensation amount. As the producer of the products involved, the defendant Song Xigen, without the permission of the plaintiff, used trademark marks similar to the trademark that the plaintiff enjoyed the exclusive right to use on the same or similar products on a variety of products produced by the defendant, and his infringement had a far wider influence than the retailers. The defendant, Yao Pingxiang, as the seller of the goods, did not fulfill the reasonable duty of examination and care and sold the goods that infringed the plaintiff's right to exclusive use of the trademark in his business premises. He also had some subjective faults and should bear certain liability for compensation. Based on the above factors, the court decided that the defendant Song Xigen should compensate the plaintiff for economic losses and reasonable expenses of 180,000 yuan, and the defendant Yao Pingxiang should compensate the plaintiff for economic losses and reasonable expenses of 20,000 yuan in total. The excessive portion of the plaintiff's claim is not supported.
