Recently, Nantong Tongzhou District Market Supervision Bureau received a report that a cake shop was selling and making "Bingdundun" cakes in WeChat circle of friends, and the market price was 200 yuan. After verification, the cake shop was not authorized by the Olympic symbol, and at this stage it has been investigated and dealt with according to law for alleged infringement. Remind operators not to blindly follow the trend and not to use the Olympic symbols for commercial services without authorization.
At noon on February 1 1, the market supervision bureau of zhenhai district, Ningbo City, Zhejiang Province found that a cake with the Olympic rings was sold in a cake baking shop in Zhaobaoshan Street, and the design of the cake was suspected of infringing the design right of the mascot of the Beijing 2022 Winter Olympic Games.
Through on-site inspection, inspectors found that the dessert made by the cake shop was not authorized by the Olympic symbol. According to the Regulations on the Protection of Olympic Symbols, the inspectors ordered the cake shop to go offline immediately, stop selling the cake in the market, and promptly put on record for investigation.
The means of merchants have long been formed. Without the consent of the buyers of the Olympic symbols, the application of the Olympic symbols for the purpose of commercial services will encounter certain administrative punishment laws.
In addition to promoting offline stores to sell fake "Ice Shield" in the market without authorization, there are also many customized "Ice Shield" derivatives on the Internet that sell well recently. Inspectors said that if the "Ice Shield" is stolen and put into online marketing, it will touch the "Electronic Commerce Law of the People's Republic of China" and will be severely investigated.
The cartoon image design of "Ice Shield" has long been copyrighted and protected by national laws. If I make "Bingdundun" for the purpose of appreciation simply out of my love for it, it doesn't involve the infringement of the brand image of "Bingdundun", but if I use the brand image of "Bingdundun" to sell in the commercial service market, it belongs to tort liability.
