Wang Lao Ji Beverage Company accused Jiuzhoutong of infringing Wang Lao Ji's trademark rights and trying to steal Wang Lao Ji's commercial interests. In addition, Wang Laoji Beverage Company also claimed that Jiuzhoutong had stolen the right to use its trademark, which had been proved before. Jiuzhou Tonggui said that it had purchased trademark transfer procedures from Guangdong Administration for Industry and Commerce.

4. Ending and enlightenment
As a result of this case, Wang Laoji Beverage Company successfully defended its trademark rights and announced the revocation of the right to use the trademark of Jiuzhoutong. This also reminds enterprises and investors to be very cautious in trademark registration and rights protection, not to infringe other people's trademarks, and to protect their own trademark rights. Enterprises should protect their own brands in time, standardize internal management, do a good job in copyright application and maintenance, prevent others from imitating or stealing their own rights and interests, and ensure the normal development of enterprises.
