"Old Guilin" is a new product of Guilin Sanhua Co., Ltd., which has become one of the pillar products of the company in a short time.
I don't know when it started, but they found that the product "Laosanhua" appeared in the market, which is very similar to "Old Guilin" in appearance and bottle shape.
As a result, guests who spend money in hotels and restaurants often regard "presbyopia" as "old Guilin".
Sanhua Company applied to the State Patent Office for the appearance patent of "Old Guilin" wine bottle on May 6, 2003, and obtained the patent authorization on August 25 this year. In view of the above reasons, Guilin Sanhua Company submitted the Request for Handling Patent Infringement Disputes to Guilin Intellectual Property Office on June 9 this year 10, arguing that the "Laosanhua" of Guilin Lijiang Liquor Co., Ltd. imitated the "Old Guilin" in the appearance of wine bottles and packaging boxes, which seriously infringed the intellectual property rights of "Old Guilin" and requested that the "Laosanhua" be ordered to stop the infringement and compensate the economic loss of 500,000 yuan.
"Laosanhua" infringes the bottle design patent of "Old Guilin", and "Old Guilin" infringes the packaging design patent of "Laosanhua".
However, the bottle type and outer packaging of the two products are very similar, except that the first one did not apply for a patent, while the latter applied first and then went on the market. According to the national patent law, all utility model and design patents are authorized "without on-the-spot inspection and verification", but if the patent project is found to have similar patent contents in the market and society six months ago, the State Patent Office will revoke the authorized patent according to the procedures.
