Another Anti-counterfeiting War Gained

Two IPR Cases in Favor of Shini

In 2008, "SHINI" was titled as "Well-known Brand" in Guangdong Province, and Shini Company was identified as "High-tech Enterprise" by the local government. It has established more than 70 nationwide sales locations and expanded business to more than 50 countries and regions such as Europe, America, Middle East, and Oceania and so on. It also has built friendly cooperation with many celebrated enterprises and purchasers. The unworthy defendants involved in these two intellectual property rights cases were originally agents of Shini. Taking advantage of Shini brand to establish platform for themselves, they sold fake products affixed with "SHINI" labels or labels similar to "SHINI" to confuse consumers which was a serious and severe violation to Shini and its customers, and also harmed the credibility of Shini brand. It was because of their continuous unbearable imitation that Shini filed several intellectual property rights lawsuits. Up to mid-April 2010, Shini has received judgments continually all in favor of its party.

According to verdict from Guangdong High Court and Zhongshan Court, one document said that "SHINI" is recognized counterpart of its Chinese brand name which has great reputation in Guangdong province. "SHITD" used characters of the same font size with Chinese brand name of "SHINI" which brought confusion and invaded the exclusive right of Shini using both English and Chinese brand name of "SHINI". It was forced to stop using its logo and pay compensation to Shini. Another document said that Shini has the exclusive right to use the patented appearance design of SD-H, so the SD machines this unworthy company sold to certain company in Zhuhai was in accordance with the protection scope of the above patent which was obvious infringement. This company was sentenced to immediately stop the sales of this patented product and destroy the stocks.

Mr. Qi from Lantianzhu Law Firm of Guangdong Province, who is also attorney agent of this case, says that as an enterprise with rapid growth and ranking first in plastics auxiliary equipment manufacturing in domestic country, Shini took correct and prompt actions to fight against trademark infringement. The present torts include counterfeiting brands and products. As the government cracking down more severely on such illegal actions, many counterfeiters have introduced new tricks. For instance, a number of so-called Shini factories or sales agents registered the same or similar domain names to Shini and released information.
