Chanel loses a trademark dispute with Huawei, the court: the signs of the two sides are different in the direction of the semicircle, there is a difference in visual difference

Recently, Caijing Life was informed by the BBC that the French luxury brand Chanel had lost a trademark dispute with Huawei.

It is understood that this dispute began in 2017, when Huawei applied to the trademark agency the European Union Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO) for approval to register its computer hardware trademark, which is composed of two vertical semicircles intersecting.

Chanel objected to this, saying the design was similar to its “double C” trademark. Since then, the Trademark Office rejected Chanel’s objections in 2019, saying that there are no similarities and it is unlikely to cause confusion in the public mind.

Subsequently, Chanel again challenged this ruling in the Luxembourg court. The court rejected its appeal in Wednesday’s ruling and stated that the two signs have different semicircular directions and visually significant differences.
