Supreme People's Court issues guideline in adjudicating well-known trademark infringement

China's Supreme People's Court has released a judicial interpretation in adjudicating well-known trademark infringement cases, which took effect on May 1, 2009.

The interpretation makes clear basic requirements for well-known trademarks as well as their protection and recognition, among others.

As its spokesman said, this interpretation was to improve the courts' judicial protection system of well-known trademarks, enhance the authority and credibility of judicial protection and safeguard the market order and fair competition.
