Jiangsu: TV Show Trademark Dispute

 

Jiangsu Broadcasting Corp was recently sued over a trademark used for one of its most poplar TV shows.

Jin Ahuan, an e-business worker, said he registered the trademark Fei Cheng Wu Rao - or Sincere People Only - for matchmaking and marriage services in 2010.

In the same year, Jiangsu TV started a dating game show with the same name, which Jin said infringed his trademark right.

But attorneys for the defendant said the two marks "belong to different categories and look different".
