The lecture "Trademark Rights and Conflict of Prior Rights - Case Sharing" was successfully held

On the afternoon of June 28, 2023, a lecture on "Trademark Rights and Conflict of Prior Rights - Case Sharing" hosted by Zhiheng Intellectual Property Center was held in the Zhiheng Conference Room. The lecture was delivered by lawyer Zou Peng, deputy director of the Trademark Committee of the Intellectual Property Center, and chaired by Liao Yandang, secretary general.

Lawyer Zou Peng

Lawyer Zou Peng has a wealth of experience and unique insights on the issue of the intersection of copyright and trademark rights. Today, with his rich experience and profound professional knowledge, he introduced several common scenarios of conflict between trademark rights and prior rights (including copyright, trademark rights, etc.) to the participating lawyers, and vividly analyzed relevant regulations and practical treatment in the form of case sharing.

Lawyer Zou Peng concluded: In the cases shared, the disputes were all caused by dealers who registered trademarks first after contacting the right holder's logo, which triggered a series of administrative and civil lawsuits. Therefore, it is extremely important for the right holder's trademark to be arranged and monitored in advance.

The lawyers had a lively discussion on the key issue in the case, expressing their opinions on the question of "infringement is the use of the registered trademark by the licensee before the trademark is invalid. If the actor of the cybersquatting trademark, before the trademark is invalid, is his own use of the cybersquatting trademark infringing?"

Host: Liao Yan as a lawyer
