Gucci Suffered "Li Gui" Compensation

The owner of Italy luxury brand Gucci, Italy Gu Qiao Gu Xi Co., Ltd., Jiangsu Senta Group Co., Ltd. and Shanghai 108th partner Co., Ltd. infringed the exclusive right to trademark. The court made a judgement yesterday.

Two the defendant was sentenced to stop immediately infringing upon the exclusive right to use the registered trademark; the company should compensate the company for 180 thousand yuan.

In August 2006, Gu Qiao Gu Xi company found in the first eight hundred companion appeared in the "GG" brand, the price is only 187 yuan women's sandals.

The "GG" logo is widely used on the lining of the shoe lining of the shoe, marked with "Senda-woman", which proves that the shoe is produced by the company.

The ladies' sandals authorized by the company to use the trademark "GG" are priced at 3690 yuan in Hualian new light department store (Beijing) Co., Ltd.

Gu Qiao Gu Xi company asked the court to order the two defendants to stop the infringement immediately, and jointly compensate for the economic losses of over 61 yuan.

According to the court, the use of "GG" pattern on sandal sandals by women in the Sanda company may be mistaken for the joint product launched by Sunda and the ancient Chogushi company, or the consent of the company.

The court also pointed out that consumers do not "confuse" the source of products when buying, which does not mean that people around them will not be confused.

Because the logo "Senda-woman" of women's shoes is covered by the sole of the feet while the "GG" logo on the shoes is clearly visible, this will lead to the misrecognition of others. This situation will undoubtedly reduce the value of the "GG" trademark.

The first eight hundred companion, as a retailer, legally acquired women's shoes involved in the case, without liability for compensation, but should immediately stop the sale of women's shoes involved in the case.
