The China National Intellectual Property Administration of China (CNIPA) introduced the launch and operation of the EU trademark inquiry system at the press conference on April 26. The system is China's first official international trademark information inquiry system.

The system can provide the public and innovative and entrepreneurial entities with fast, convenient, and comprehensive EU trademark information inquiry services. The launch and operation of the system fills in gaps in overseas trademark inquiry tools.

On September 25, 2020, the CNIPA and the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) signed a China-EU Trademark Information Exchange Agreement, realizing for the first time China's trademark data exchange and cooperation with other countries. As of the end of March 2021, the EUIPO has provided about 1.947 million pieces of trademark information to the CNIPA, including contents such as trademark basic information, information on goods and services, priority information, classification information, and process information.

Case Summary：

Case number: (2017) Jing 73 Min Chu No. 1249

Plaintiff: Polycom, Inc.

Defendants: Beijing Xiaoyuzaijia Science and Technology Co., Ltd.

                       Beijing XYLink Science and Technology Co., Ltd.

                       Beijing Danbo Brothers Computer Technology Co., Ltd.

Cause of action: dispute over copyright infringement concerning computer software

Key point: rules of infringement determination for computer software in the field of videoconferencing　　

The plaintiff, Polycom, Inc., discovered in 2015 that the copyright of its video conferencing software was infringed by the companies concerned, and then communicated with Unitalen and planned to file a lawsuit to protect its rights. The Unitalen team conducted a thorough investigation and pushed forward the work with authorization given by Polycom. The case was placed on file in the Beijing Intellectual Property Court in July 2017. After more than ten hearings and talks, the court opened a court session and made the first-instance judgment in July 2020. The defendants were not satisfied with the judgment and appealed to the Supreme People's Court. After the second-instance interrogation by the Supreme People's Court in December 2020, the defendants withdrew the appeal. The Supreme People's Court ruled that the withdrawal of the appeal was allowed in January 2021, and thus the first-instance judgment came into force. This case lasted for nearly 6 years, and the legal proceedings alone lasted for nearly 4 years. Our client Polycom finally won the case and successfully protected its legitimate rights.

Abbreviature of adjudication:

1.In the case where the source code and the object code submitted by the plaintiff reflected inconsistent work scopes and the completion time for the source code could not be determined, the object code for which the completion time can be determined or the source code that is identical to the above object code and actually enters the object code after being compiled should serve as the basis of the plaintiff's work in the determination of substantial similarity.

2.In the case where the defendants refused to submit or failed to accurately submit the source code of the alleged infringing computer software, the presumption that the software of the plaintiff and the software of the defendants are substantially similar should usually be made based on a precondition, that is, the plaintiff can prove that the object codes of the two are identical or similar, or the object code of the alleged infringing computer software includes specific content of the computer software claimed by the plaintiff, or the two are identical or substantially similar in terms of software results or the like.

3.The proportion of substantially similar parts does not affect the determination of nature of the behavior but is merely a consideration for the subsequent determination of infringement severity.

Significance：

The parties in this case are all well-known enterprises in the field of video conferencing, and multiple software works of the right holder and multiple alleged infringing software of the defendants were involved. Although the proportion of substantially similar parts in the works of both parties was low, the determination of the existence of infringement was not affected. The court determined the amount of compensation in accordance with the statutory upper limit on the basis of comprehensive consideration of the evidence in the case. The analysis of relevant issues in the judgment of this case can provide experience for the trial of such difficult and complex cases, and this case was selected as one of the top ten typical science and technology innovation cases of Beijing Intellectual Property Court on the 21st World Intellectual Property Day.

Case Summary：

Huai'an Hairun Petrochemical Co. Ltd. (Hairun Company) applied for registration of the disputed trademark on goods "Industrial oil; Motor oil; Emulsifying oil; White oil; Solvent oil; Lubricating oil; and Fuel oil" and the like in Class 4, on June 6, 2005, and was approved on November 14, 2008.

Huaihai Holding Group Co. Ltd. (Huaihai Company) cited its prior trademark No. 4489518 "淮海HUAIHAI and device" registered on goods "Electric bicycles, Electric tricycles, Motorcycles" in Class 12 and trademark No. 313958 "淮海HUAIHAI江蘇徐州 (JIANGSU XUZHOU) and device" on goods "Motorcycles" in Class 12 and filed an invalidation application of the disputed trademark.

Upon examination, the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board (the TRAB) determined that the disputed trademark constitutes confusingly similar trademark to the cited trademark which were used on the same or similar goods. Thus, the disputed trademark was ruled to be invalid. Hairun Company was dissatisfied with the decision and filed an administrative litigation with the Beijing Intellectual Property Court, the court of first instance, requesting to revoke the TRAB’s decision. After examination, the Court announced that although the disputed trademark was composed of the character "淮海", which was completely contained in the two cited trademarks and constituted a similar trademark, the goods "Industrial oil; and Lubricating oil" and the like approved for use by the disputed trademark and the goods approved for use by the cited trademark had great distinctions in function, use, marketing channel and consumer group, and they did not constitute similar goods. The judgment of the first instance revoked the TRAB’s decision and maintained the disputed trademark. Huaihai Company appealed to the Beijing High People's Court, the court of second instance, but the court decided to uphold the judgment of the court of first instance.

Huaihai Company refused to accept the second-instance judgment and appealed to the Supreme People's Court for a retrial, and entrusted Unitalen to participate in the retrial proceedings on its behalf. Unitalen lawyers collected the relevant evidence and made arguments, which were finally adopted by the Supreme Court.

The Supreme Court Judgment:

Both the courts of the first and second instances held that the lubricating oil and motor oil in Class 4 designated by the disputed trademark and the goods such as tricycles, and motorcycles in Class 12 designated by the two cited trademarks of Huaihai Company did not constitute similar goods, which did not violate Article 28 of the original Trademark Law. After the trial, the Supreme Court held that lubricating oil and motor oil are spare parts for tricycles and motorcycles, often sold in motorcycle parts markets or garages. The two were connected to a certain degree and determined as similar goods. The judgments of the first and second instances were revoked, and the original TRAB's ruling to invalidate the disputed trademark was upheld.

Typical Significance:

The retrial judgment in this case clarified that when determining whether the disputed trademark and the cited trademark constitute similar trademarks on similar goods, and whether it is likely to cause confusion and misunderstanding by the relevant public, in addition to the similarity degree of the trademark logo and the similarity degree of the goods, factors such as the distinctiveness and popularity of the cited trademark, as well as the subjective intention of the applicant for the disputed trademark should also be considered. Regarding the similarity degree of goods, even if the related goods belong to different classes in the Table for Differentiating Similar Goods and Service, they shall be determined as similar goods if they are used by collocation and are highly related in terms of function, use, consumer group, and marketing channels, etc. In the meantime, the relevant comments on the defense of stabilizing the market order in the retrial judgment are of reference significance for similar cases.
