Since 13 February 2019, the DURY trademark team has been asserting the legal interests of a Chinese electronics manufacturer in the field of trademark law in Germany and in other European member states.
The background of the mandate is a broad trademark grabbing campaign of a former German reseller. The former reseller registered the serial number of the Chinese manufacturer, who had only registered the company indicator as principal trademark in Europe, as a trademark himself, with the intention of requesting the blocking of the Chinese manufacturer’s offers at Amazon.de, Ebay.de and AliExpress with reference to these trademark applications made in bad faith.
As a result, the Chinese manufacturer was threatened with considerable losses of turnover in a seven-digit range per month.
