Montagut wins compensation
The Shanghai Second Intermediate People's Court has ordered 500,000 yuan in compensation be paid by a Shanghai company to a French firm for trademark infringement
The Shanghai Meng Jiao Company was accused of using the Chinese and English trademarks and the flower logo of the French brand Montagut. The company name, Meng Jiao, is similar to the Chinese characters for Montagut. Bonneterie Cevenole SARL., owner of the Montagut brand, said Meng Jiao had used the clothing company's trademarks and logo on its website, promotional brochures and in its chain stores.
The court ordered the local company to stop using the trademarks and logo and pay 500,000 yuan in compensation to the French company. Bonneterie Cevenole SARL noticed the infringements in late 2005 and filed a lawsuit soon after.
