中国国家知识产权局-欧洲专利局专利合作条约国际检索单位试点项目进入第二阶段

CNIPA-EPO Pilot Project of International Searching Authority (ISA) under the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) Enters the Second Phase

欧洲专利局（EPO）和中国国家知识产权局（CNIPA）共同宣布，双方联合开展的专利合作条约（PCT）试点项目进入下一阶段。这一新阶段为提交PCT的中国申请人指定欧洲专利局作为其国际检索单位（ISA）提供了更大的便利：自2024年12月1日起，申请人将可以使用人民币通过中国国家知识产权局向欧洲专利局支付相关检索费用。

The European Patent Office (EPO) and the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA) are pleased to announce the next phase in their joint Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT) pilot project. Starting 1 December 2024, Chinese applicants designating the EPO as their International Search Authority (ISA) will be able to pay their search fees through the CNIPA to the EPO in Renminbi (Chinese Yuan), offering greater convenience.

通过选择欧洲专利局作为其国际检索单位，申请人可以更快获得欧洲专利保护。此外，第二阶段保留了其关键优势，例如根据PCT第二章向欧洲专利局提交国际初步审查请求，进入欧洲阶段时将减少75%的审查费，且不需要欧洲补充检索和PCT申请翻译，从而节省了时间和成本。

By choosing the EPO as their ISA, applicants gain accelerated access to European patent protection. Additionally, phase two maintains key advantages, such as a 75% reduction in the examination fee when requesting international preliminary examination under PCT Chapter II with the EPO. No supplementary European search or translation of the PCT application are required when entering the European phase, saving both time and costs.

试点项目上限为每年3000份申请，以确保广大申请人能够继续利用这些优势。

The pilot's capacity is limited to 3,000 applications per year, ensuring that abroad range of applicants can continue to take advantage of these benefits.

集佳代理德国力魔润滑油维权案，二审维持原判！

Unitalen Represented LIQUI MOLY and Safeguarded Its Rights and Interests in Lubricating Oils Infringement Case: Affirmation of Original Judgment by Second Instance Court!

基本案情

Case Brief

力魁魔力有限责任公司（“德国力魔公司”）系第G803684号“ ”、第G567461号“LIQUI MOLY”以及第4973900号“力魔”商标权利人。被告保力克润滑油（珠海）有限公司（“保力克公司”）生产、销售“ “ ”“ ”标识的润滑油、机油等产品。一审法院经审查后认定，由保力克公司及珠海美合科技股份有限公司（“美合公司”）生产，并由保力克公司和广东天辰商贸有限公司（“天辰公司”）销售的使用被诉侵权标识“ “ ”“ ”的润滑油产品，侵犯了德国力魔公司注册商标专用权；保力克公司在机油、润滑油上使用德国国旗、GERMAN TECHNOLOGY等元素并进行宣传的行为构成《反不正当竞争法》第八条第一款规定的虚假宣传不正当竞争行为，判决保力克公司、天辰公司及美合公司立即停止侵犯德国力魔公司注册商标专用权的行为；保力克公司立即停止不正当竞争行为；保力克公司向德国力魔公司赔偿经济损失及合理费用共计70万元，美合公司在30万元范围内承担连带清偿责任，天辰公司在25万元范围内承担连带清偿责任。

Liqui-Moly Gesellschaft Mit Bescherankter Hfatung ("LIQUI MOLY") is the owner of the trademark No. G803684 " ", trademark No. G567461 "LIQUI MOLY", and trademark No. 4973900 "力魔". The defendant Liquid Power Lubricant (Zhuhai) Co., Ltd. ("LIQUID POWER") produces and sells lubricating oils, engine oils, and other products with the logos " ", " ", and " ". The first instance court, after examination, ascertained the following: the lubricating oil products bearing the alleged infringing logos " ", " ", and " ", which were produced by LIQUID POWER and Zhuhai Makhop Technology Co., Ltd. ("Makhop") and sold by LIQUID POWER and Guangdong Tianchen Trading Co., Ltd. ("Tianchen"), infringed upon the exclusive rights of LIQUI MOLY in registered trademarks; LIQUID POWER's acts of using the elements such as the German national flag and "GERMAN TECHNOLOGY" on engine oils and lubricating oils and conducting publicity campaigns constituted acts of unfair competition through false publicity under Article 8.1 of the Anti-Unfair Competition Law. The judgment was awarded as follows: LIQUID POWER, Tianchen, and Makhop shall immediately stop their acts of infringing upon the exclusive rights of LIQUI MOLY in registered trademarks; LIQUID POWER shall immediately stop the acts of unfair competition; and LIQUID POWER shall compensate LIQUI MOLY for the economic losses and reasonable costs totaling 700,000 yuan, with Makhop bearing the joint and several liability for satisfaction to the limit of 300,000 yuan and Tianchen bearing the joint and several liability for satisfaction to the limit of 250,000 yuan.

美合公司对一审判决不服，认为其系生产商，不应承担赔偿责任，向广东省中山市中级人民法院提起上诉，请求法院改判美合公司不需承担连带清偿责任，或调低美合公司应承担的连带赔偿责任金额。

Makhop was not satisfied with the first instance judgment, defending that it shall not be liable for compensation as a manufacturer. Makhop filed an appeal with the Zhongshan Intermediate People's Court of Guangdong Province, requesting the court to issue a new judgment that Makhop should not bear the joint and several liability for satisfaction or that the amount of joint and several liability for compensation to be assumed by Makhop should be lowered.

二审法院认定

Determination of the second instance court

美合公司接受保力克公司委托进行灌装时，对于保力克公司提供的印有侵权标识的润滑油、机油瓶罐已经知情。“ ”“ ”“力魔”商标经德国力魔公司长期使用，具有很高的知名度和美誉度，美合公司作为2007年即成立且注册资本高达7560万元的专业润滑油加工企业，生产规模较大，专业知识相应较高，理应对德国力魔公司上述商标知情，但仍接受保力克公司委托，对印有上述侵权标识的润滑油、机油瓶罐进行灌装，与保力克公司构成共同侵权，美合公司理应就侵权行为承担连带清偿责任。一审法院判决保力克公司赔偿力魁公司经济损失及合理费用共70万元，判决美合公司在30万元范围内承担连带清偿责任，综合本案中保力克公司、美合公司的侵权行为、侵权规模、各方的作用等因素，中山中院认为一审判决的连带清偿责任金额合理，应予以维持，判决驳回上诉，维持原判。

When accepting the filling commission from LIQUID POWER, Makhop was already aware of the bottles and cans of the lubricating oils and engine oils printed with the infringed logos provided by LIQUID POWER. The trademarks " ", " ", and "力魔" have been used by LIQUI MOLY for a long time and hold great popularity and reputation. As a specialized lubricating oil processing enterprise incorporated in 2007 with a registered capital of up to 75,600,000 yuan, Makhop is a large-scale manufacturer with a high level of expertise. Therefore, Makhop was supposed to be aware of the above trademarks of LIQUI MOLY, and instead accepted the commission from LIQUID POWER to fill the bottles and cans of the lubricant oils and engine oils printed with the above infringed logos, which constituted joint infringement with LIQUID POWER. Makhop shall bear the joint and several liability for satisfaction for the acts of infringement. The first instance court judged that LIQUID POWER should compensate LIQUI MOLY for the economic losses and reasonable costs totaling 700,000 yuan, and judged that Makhop should bear the joint and several liability for satisfaction to the limit of 300,000 yuan. Taking into overall account the acts and scale of infringement by LIQUID POWER and Makhop, the roles of respective parties, and other factors in the present case, the Zhongshan Intermediate People's Court held that the amount of joint and several liability for satisfaction in the first instance judgment was reasonable and should be upheld, and issued a judgment of rejecting the appeal and affirming the original judgment.

二审改判！全额支持120万、认定侵权实控人和侵权工具公司共同承担连带责任，强调实控人承担绝对多数份额比例的连带责任

Second Instance Court Amends Original Judgment! Full Support to 1,200,000 yuan, Affirmation of Joint and Several Liability on the Infringing Actual Controller and the Company as Infringement Means, and Emphasis on Absolute-Majority Assumption of Joint and Several Liability by Actual Controller

基本案情

Case Brief

原告德国力魁魔力有限公司（Liqui-Moly Gesellschaft Mit Bescherankter Hfatung）是国际知名汽车润滑油、添加剂品牌商，原告LIQUIMOLY、力魔品牌机油始于1957-1960年左右，在车辆添加剂、润滑油及汽车养护方面持续在欧洲和全球市场名列前茅。原告LIQUIMOLY、力魔品牌机油、润滑油等产品2005年进入中国市场起，经过多年持续使用及宣传推广已经享有极高的知名度。同时原告德国力魁魔力公司也早已围绕核心经营范围及生产经营产品在第1类、第4类等类别群组上注册了“LIQUI MOLY”“力魔”“ ”系列商标。

The plaintiff, Liqui-Moly Gesellschaft Mit Bescherankter Hfatung, is an internationally renowned brand of automotive lubricating oils and additives. The engine oils under the "LIQUI MOLY" and "力魔" brands owned by the plaintiff, starting around 1957-1960, have consistently ranked among the top in the European and global markets for vehicle additives, lubricating oils, and car maintenance. The engine oils, lubricating oils, and other products under the "LIQUI MOLY" and "力魔" brands owned by the plaintiff entered the Chinese market in 2005 and have enjoyed high popularity after years of continuous use and promotion. Meanwhile, the plaintiff, LIQUI MOLY, also has registered a number of trademarks "LIQUI MOLY", "力魔", and " " in Class 1 and Class 4 and other categories of groups for the manufacture and operation of products within its core business scope.

被告何某茜、林某香、何某鹏为母子、母女直系近亲属关系，该三人团伙以共同的合意和分工实施了抢注商标、变形使用注册商标、虚假宣传等侵权及不正当竞争行为。具体来说：

The defendants HE X-qian, LIN X-xiang, and HE X-peng, were immediate family members, i.e., mother and son, as well as mother and daughter, and with a common consensus and deliberate assignment of work, they carried out the acts of infringement and unfair competition such as trademark squatting, distorted use of registered trademarks, and false publicity. The details are as follows:

一、商标抢注

I. Trademark squatting

2010年10月9日、2014年8月7日林某香分别申请了第15112414号 、第8723418号 商标，2011年10月21日、2015年11月28日上述两枚商标分别被核准注册；2018年8月30日林某香许可给被告浙江某某力魔公司（该公司法定代表人及实控人为林某香之子何某鹏）使用上述商标；2021年11月13日和2021月12月31日林某香又分别转让上述两枚商标给其女何某茜。该两枚抢注商标最终于2024年1月经过北京市高级人民法院审理，以《商标法》第四十四条第一款“其他不正当手段取得注册”绝对理由宣告无效。

On October 9, 2010 and August 7, 2014, LIN X-xiang applied for trademark No. 15112414  and trademark No. 8723418 , respectively; on October 21, 2011 and November 28, 2015, the above two trademarks were approved for registration, respectively; on August 30, 2018, LIN X-xiang licensed the use of the above trademarks to the defendant Zhejiang XX Limo Company (the legal representative and actual controller of the company is LIN X-xiang's son, HE X-peng); and on November 13, 2021 and December 31, 2021, LIN X-xiang further transferred the above two trademarks to her daughter, HE X-qian. Finally, the two squatted trademarks, after the trial by the Beijing High People's Court in January 2024, were invalidated on the absolute grounds of "acquiring registration by any other improper means" under Article 44.1 of the Trademark Law.

二、被告团伙以共同的合意和严密的组织分工，持续生产销售被控滤清器产品并实施虚假宣传等不正当竞争行为

II. The defendant group, with the common consensus and the deliberate assignment of work, continually produced and sold the alleged filter products and conducted acts of unfair competition such as false publicity.

林某香之女何某茜2014年11月27日成立乌鲁木齐天山区延安路力魔某某商行（个体户），并于2017年因为销售侵害TOYOTA等品牌的滤清器被市场监督管理局查处，随后2019年何某茜又以该个体工商户的名义参加俄罗斯鞑靼斯坦国际汽车零配件展览会并在该展会上展示推销本案被诉侵权滤清器产品，原告德国力魁魔力有限责任公司就此事向何某茜发送了律师函严正要求立即停止相关侵权行为；何某茜不仅未与理会，而且在本案审理过程中，持续在其经营的天山区延安路力魔某某商行继续销售被控侵权滤清器产品、并在门头突出使用被控侵权标识；除此之外，何某茜还早在2016年9月22日就将被控侵权标识 作为美术作品办理著作权登记证书。

HE X-qian, the daughter of LIN X-xiang, incorporated the Limo XX Commercial Firm (a self-employed business) in Yan'an Road, Tianshan District, Urumqi on November 27, 2014, and received investigation by the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau for selling filters that infringed on brands such as TOYOTA in 2017. Later in 2019, HE X-qian, in the name of the foregoing self-employed business, participated in the Tatarstan International Automotive Spare Parts Exhibition in Russia, and displayed and promoted the alleged infringing filter products in the present case at the exhibition. With regard to this matter, the plaintiff, Liqui-Moly Gesellschaft Mit Bescherankter Hfatung, sent a lawyer's letter to HE X-qian, solemnly demanding an immediate cessation of the related acts of infringement. Without any reply, HE X-qian, in the course of the trial of the present case, continued to sell the alleged infringing filter products at her business premise, Limo XX Commercial Firm in Yan'an Road, Tianshan District, and prominently displayed the alleged infringing logos on the storefront. In addition, as early as September 22, 2016, HE X-qian also had applied for a copyright registration certificate for the alleged infringing logo  as a work of art.

林某香之子何某鹏2018年8月24日成立浙江某某力魔汽配有限公司（自然人独资），何某鹏为该公司的法定代表人、执行董事、经理和实际控制人，该公司负责生产销售出口被控侵权滤清器产品，其销售形式包含线上（如1688店铺）及线下，出口哈萨克斯坦等国家地区，该公司同时实施了以攀附力魁魔力公司商誉为目的的“德国品牌”“德国品质”等虚假宣传行为，为本案被控侵权标识的直接使用主体；2022年1月，经过原告投诉，浙江某某力魔汽配公司被金华市市场监督管理局以侵害力魁魔力有限责任公司案涉权利商标商品专用权为由对其进行了行政处罚。原告针对被告团伙线上、线下的侵权及不正当竞争行为同步向金华市中级人民法院提起民事诉讼寻求救济。

HE X-peng, the son of LIN X-xiang, incorporated Zhejiang XX Limo Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. (a sole proprietorship of natural person) on August 24, 2018, of which HE X-peng acted as the legal representative, executive director, manager, and actual controller. The foregoing company was engaged in the production, sales, and export of the alleged infringing filter products, which products were sold in both online (such as 1688 stores) and offline forms and exported to Kazakhstan and other countries and regions. Meanwhile, the company committed acts of false publicity, such as "German brand" and "German quality", to attach itself to the goodwill of LIQUI MOLY, and was the entity directly using the alleged infringing logos in the present case. In January 2022, following a complaint from the plaintiff, Zhejiang XX Limo Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. was administratively penalized by the Jinhua Market Supervision and Administration Bureau for infringing upon the exclusive rights of Liqui-Moly Gesellschaft Mit Bescherankter Hfatung in the authorized trademarks and goods involved in the case. The plaintiff concurrently filed a civil lawsuit with the Jinhua Intermediate People's Court to seek remedy against the defendant group's acts of online and offline infringement and unfair competition.

三、民事司法救济

III. Civil judicial remedy

一审法院经过审理认为被告浙江某某力魔汽配公司构成对原告案涉权利商标专用权的侵害、构成对原告的字号相关及虚假宣传不正当竞争行为，但是认为在案证据不足以证明林某香、何某茜、浙江某某力魔汽配公司以共同的合意、不同的分工实施了被诉侵权及不正当竞争行为，最终一审判决浙江某某力魔汽配公司对被诉侵权及不正当竞争行为承担30万元的侵权损害赔偿责任（停止侵害判项略）。

The first instance court, after the trial, held that the defendant Zhejiang XX Limo Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. constituted an infringement on the plaintiff's exclusive rights in the authorized trademarks involved in the case and constituted the acts of unfair competition, such as false publicity, against the plaintiff's trade name. However, the first instance court further held that the evidence as submitted was insufficient to prove that LIN X-xiang, HE X-qian, and Zhejiang XX Limo Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. committed the alleged acts of infringement and unfair competition by achieving the common consensus and assuming different work assigned to them. Ultimately, the first instance judgment was issued that Zhejiang XX Limo Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. shall bear an infringement compensation liability of 300,000 yuan for the alleged acts of infringement and unfair competition (the ruling on cessation of infringement is omitted).

原告不服，遂向浙江省高级人民法院上诉，浙江省高级人民法院经过审理改判林某香、何某茜与浙江某某力魔汽配公司构成共同侵权，承担连带责任；改判提高原判确定的赔偿数额，对德国力魁魔力公司主张的经济损失及合理支出120万元全额予以支持，何某香、林某茜就共同实施的商标侵权行为对其中的人民币 100万元承担连带责任。

The plaintiff was not satisfied with the judgment and thus appealed to the Zhejiang Provincial High People's Court. After the trial, the Zhejiang Provincial High People's Court issued a new judgment that LIN X-xiang, HE X-qian, and Zhejiang XX Limo Automobile Parts Co., Ltd. constituted joint infringement and should bear the joint and several liability, and further made a new judgment to increase the compensation amount determined in the original judgment. The Zhejiang Provincial High People's Court fully supported the claim by Liqui-Moly Gesellschaft Mit Bescherankter Hfatung for economic losses and reasonable expenditures of 1,200,000 yuan, and He X-xiang and Lin X-qian should bear the joint and several liability for 1,000,000 yuan thereof for their joint acts of trademark infringement.

典型意义

Typical Significance

本案的圆满解决不仅意味着原告成功无效了被告的恶意抢注商标，还意味着原告在行政和司法层面上全力以赴穷尽有效救济途径、捍卫自身合法权益的斗争取得了全面胜利。

The satisfactory conclusion of the present case not only signifies that the plaintiff has successfully invalidated the trademarks maliciously squatted by the defendants, but also indicates that the plaintiff has achieved a full victory in its efforts to defend its legitimate rights and interests by exhausting all effective remedies at both the administrative and judicial levels.
