Honor Trademark Infringement Case: Second Verdict Raises Compensation to 30 Million Yuan

The Shanghai Intellectual Property Court delivered its second-instance judgment on the "Rongyao Jianwu" trademark infringement dispute involving Honor. A related company maliciously registered the trademark and used it to sell laptops. Even after its trademark right was invalidated, the entity continued the infringing acts with obvious subjective malice. The court revised the original compensation of 12 million yuan to 30 million yuan as punitive damages. This landmark ruling clearly clarifies that a registered trademark certificate cannot shield parties from severe penalties for unfair brand parasitism. It sets a solid judicial precedent and delivers a strong warning to market players attempting to profit from malicious trademark squatting and infringement.
