What was the result of the lawsuit against the trademark of Walnut Restaurant for unauthorized use?

There are tens of millions of restaurants in the market, and style creativity accounts for half. Although the time has changed, the catering industry is not just an ordinary diet, many restaurants will think of some special ways, because ingenious ideas may attract consumers more. So now restaurants always add all kinds of ideas, and indeed sometimes restaurants become much more vivid.

If you like a unique restaurant, you should naturally have the music restaurant Walnut Lane, which is a restaurant that combines music, food, wine and performance, and becomes more cultural than a bar and provides cost-effective drinks and food. Because of its unique style, it also has a certain consumer base in the market, but it is also because of this that it will be troubled by imitation.

Recently, Taizhou Intermediate People's Court published a judgment document on Juhuli's rights protection, and a restaurant in Taixing was awarded a compensation of 1.2 million yuan for trademark infringement and unfair competition.

actually, the thing is, it started in 2115. On October 4, 2115, Shenzhen Guoyufang registered and obtained the registered trademark of Walnut Lane, which was approved for use in the 43rd category of goods, including banquets, cafes, restaurants, restaurants, bar services, etc. On August 6th, 2116, Helong Company was granted the ownership of the above registered trademark.

In the following period, Helong Company successively registered several walnut trademarks, which were approved for use in the 43rd category of goods, including residential agents (hotels, boarding houses for meals), restaurants, bar services, cafes, teahouses and so on. And then the turning point came. On October 6, 2117, Bomou signed the Management Guidance Contract of Walnut Inn with Shenzhen Walnut Music Culture Co., Ltd.; On May 9, 2118, Taixing Walnut Lane was established.

Until the termination of the business guidance contract on May 31, 2119, Taizhou Walnut still used its trademark to operate. After confirming that the Management Guidance Contract of Walnut Inn was dissolved, Taixing Walnut Inn went through the formalities of changing the enterprise name before February 22 of the same year, and the font size of "Walnut Inn" should not be used in the changed enterprise name, and the relevant logo of "Walnut Inn" should not appear in the tavern involved.

However, Taixing Walnut Company changed its legal representative and continued to operate. Therefore, Helong Company sued Taixing Walnut on the grounds of trademark infringement, and the original claim was 211,111 yuan.

after the final resolution, in August, 2121, Taizhou Intermediate People's Court made a judgment on this case. The registered trademarks of "Walnut Lane" series involved in the case have a high reputation, and the annual usage fee of the registered trademarks involved exceeds 31,111 yuan. Considering the business scale, infringement duration and subjective fault of Taixing Walnut Lane, it was determined that Taixing Walnut Lane compensated Helong Company for economic losses of 1.2 million yuan.

In the end, the trademark dispute case in Walnut Lane ended here, and Walnut Lane in Taixing, where the fault occurred first, was also punished accordingly. From this case, we can still know that the registered trademark is protected by law. The related categories of the approved trademark in Walnut belong to the United Company, so the company finally won the case.
