Wanhuida is a trailblazer with the mix of legal expertise and result-oriented practical approach.


In 2024, it has quite a few cases that are recognised by Chinese courts as innovative or exemplary, including:


SPC’s Top 10 IP Cases in 2023: Representing Xiaomi in winning the unfair competition suit against the infringers that pre-emptively registered its voice activation command prompt, brazenly sent cease and desist letter to Xiaomi and sold infringing products. The court found unfair competition, ordered cessation and awarded Xiaomi damages of RMB 1.2 million. 

 

SPC’s 50 Exemplary IP Cases of 2023: Representing Michelin in winning the civil suit against Shanghai Mi Zhi Lian Catering Management Ltd. et al., which used the Chinese transliteration of the Cantonese pronunciation of Michelin in business operation and as registered trade name. The Wuhan Intermediate Court and the Hubei High Court affirmed trademark infringement and unfair competition, ordered cessation and awarded damages of RMB 10 million.


Top 10 QBPC IP Protection Cases of 2023 - 2024: Representing New Balance in obtaining a permanent court injunction and landmark damages of RMB 30.04 million (inclusive of reasonable costs) in the second instance of a trademark infringement and unfair competition suit against the infringers using a slavish copycat of the client’s iconic slanting “N” logo and its Chinese trade name, which has acquired certain influence.
