The Supreme People’s Court has affirmed a total of 29 well-known trademarks since they began to affirm well-known trademarks in trial of disputes over trademark and domain name in 2001. The 29 well-known trademarks include “Sinochem,” “Rolex,” “Honghe,” “Safeguard,” “Wal-Mart,” “Dupont,” “Nippon,” “Gome Electronics,” and “Ping’an.”
By affirming well-known trademarks, the people’s court strengthens judicial protection for well-known trademarks and legal rights of obligees. In the meantime, the affirmed well-known trademarks further boost formation and development of enterprise’s intangible assets and bring about business opportunities. The practice has resulted in satisfactory social and legal effect.
