"P > < a href=" //m.pmae.cn/news/index_c.asp "> Puma < /a > European companies have sued more than 30 infringement wholesalers in Hanzheng Street, claiming nearly 2 million yuan.

Yesterday, through the mediation of the Wuhan intermediate people's court, the two sides reached a conciliation agreement that they had been sued to stop selling the infringing products and compensate the total losses of more than 30 yuan.

< p > Puma Europe is a registered sporting goods manufacturer in Germany, mainly sporting shoes and sportswear.

The trademark and its combined trademark of the company were approved and registered by the Trademark Office of the General Administration of industry and Commerce in December 1978 and used in twenty-fifth categories of commodities (including clothing, shoes, hats, etc.). The above-mentioned trademark rights are still in the validity period.

< /p >

< p > November 2010, Puma Europe commissioned notaries to carry out on-site evidence preservation of the sports shoes, sportswear and belts with Puma trademarks, and to entrust the lawyers to negotiate with the more than 30 operators and the Wuhan Wuhan Economic Development Co., Ltd., which were alleged to have infringed on the sale of the "a href=" //m.pmae.cn/news/index_p.asp "> Zhejiang shoes city" /a ".

< /p >

< p > last December, Puma European company took the above-mentioned personnel and units to court.

After the case of the Wuhan middle court, the logo of the sold product was compared with the registered trademark of the Puma European company of the plaintiff. It found that the graphic logo on the infringed goods was almost the same as the plaintiff's figure, and the vast majority belonged to the imitated leopard logo. If not carefully compared, the written signs on the infringed goods were identical to the "PUMA" logo of the plaintiff's Puma European company and some were similar.

< p > the judge initially identified that the sales of the Xiong and other operating households in Zhejiang shoes city had the same or similar commodities with Puma Europe company < a href= "//m.pmae.cn/news/index_q.asp" > registered trademarks < /a >, which infringed the plaintiff's exclusive right to trademark.

However, a large number of operators such as Xiong think that they are not the specific producers of infringing products and should not be liable for infringement.

The judges repeatedly explained the relevant laws and regulations, and the majority of the accused operators realized the illegality of their actions, indicating that they would not sell similar products in the future.

< /p >

< p > yesterday, after the judge presided over the mediation, the two sides reached a mediation agreement for the operator to stop selling the defendant's products and pay compensation to Puma Europe.

It is understood that since the end of 2009, Puma European company has put the sale of Wuhan's trademark infringer to the court. Since then, the Wuhan intermediate people's court has concluded 276 similar cases, effectively preventing the continuation of the infringement.
