Rejected "Yudefang" Trademark Granted via Review
Since its establishment, a liquor company in Guizhou Province has been operating under the trade name "Yudefang" and has built a certain reputation in the liquor market with its high - quality products. When the company planned to register "Yudefang" as a trademark to strengthen brand protection, it found that the trademark "Yudefang" with the application number 20719117 had been preemptively registered by another company in 2016. Approved for use in Class 33 "liquor" products, this trademark completely overlapped with the company's main business, hindering the company from using the trade name as a trademark for market expansion and stalling its brand development plan.
Upon accepting the commission, the InnoWit IP team immediately got to work. First, they sorted out the trademark registration timeline and systematically collected various pieces of evidence of the company's use of the "Yudefang" trade name since its establishment, such as sales contracts and advertising materials, to prove the company's prior usage rights to the logo. Meanwhile, the team conducted an in - depth analysis of the registration process, usage status, and market layout of the obstructive trademark to identify legal breakthrough points.
Based on comprehensive evidence and legal analysis, the team formulated a targeted strategy for the company. During the trademark rejection review process, leveraging professional legal knowledge and clear arguments, they presented to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board the company's legitimate rights to the "Yudefang" logo and the irrationalities of the disputed trademark's registration. Eventually, the applicant successfully passed the rejection review and obtained the registration of the trademark "Yudefang" with the application number 62141962.
This outcome unified the company's trade name and trademark, removing obstacles for brand building and enabling the company to legally and orderly promote its brand in the market, enhancing its competitiveness. The successful resolution of this case demonstrates the InnoWit IP team's professional capabilities in handling trademark disputes.
