Landwind successfully applied for a design patent for the Landwind X7 in China, while Land Rover did not apply for a design patent for the Evoque in China.
If Landwind wants to be serious, it can sue Land Rover, Chery, GAC and other three companies.
However, Lu Feng was very restrained this time and did not sue.
In addition, 10 years ago, Land Rover exported Landwind cars to Europe, and Land Rover acted rogue and sued Land Wind Cars for infringement of its English brand name in Europe. The two parties fought the lawsuit for six years, and Land Rover finally won!
At that time, Landwind, as China's first domestic car brand, successfully exported to Europe for the first time. Unexpectedly, Land Rover blocked it. Although Landwind finally won the lawsuit, it lost time to develop in the European market.
In this situation, the only blame is that Land Rover did not apply for a design patent and was beaten to the punch by Land Rover. In addition, judging from the previous lawsuits and grievances, it is Land Rover who is unreasonable and unethical, and Lu Feng is pressing behind.
Recently, in news reports, Land Rover stated that it would conduct an internal study on the X7 and decide how to deal with it.
My understanding: From a legal perspective, Land Rover has lost the Chinese market.
Land Rover knows that it is right at the loss. This statement is just to test Landwind before deciding how to sell imported Land Rover and Chery Land Rover in the Chinese market.
Hope to adopt
