"Gu Ming" trademark was maliciously registered, and "Shanzhai stores" were repeatedly banned

For a long time, the phenomenon of "Shanzhai" of tea brands has been very serious. Ancient tea is no exception.

In 2020, Guming technology company found that a consulting company in Wenling registered similar trademarks of several tea brands, including Guming, and reported to Wenling Market Supervision Bureau. With the efforts of all parts, the application for malicious trademark registration has been rejected, protecting the legitimate rights and interests of all brands.

After a long period of anti-counterfeiting and trademark rights protection actions, Guming tea has rectified and closed more than 500 infringing stores across the country.

In the process of combating counterfeiting and safeguarding rights, registered trademarks play a very important role. Xiaozhi found through the official website of the trademark office that there are 300 trademarks registered under the name of Zhejiang Guming Technology Co., Ltd., including "Guming", "Guming bieyuan", "Guming orchard", "Guming ruby", "Guming uncle's milk tea", "one cup a day is not greasy", "good me", "mingguming" and easily confused trademarks such as "Zhanming" and "Youming".

In recent years, the tea industry has sprung up, and various online black milk tea brands have emerged one after another. At the same time, trademark infringement and trademark registration are also rampant. For example, Xicha, lujiaoxiang and other brands have encountered Shanzhai, which has a great impact on the brand. In the later stage, it will cost a lot of human and material resources to protect their rights.

Therefore, in the early stage of the establishment of tea brand, we must not ignore the trademark registration. With the trademark paving, the brand can stand firm in the market.
