Hainan: Hardware Stores Fined Over Trademark Infringement

 

Owners of nine hardware stores in the province agreed to pay 8,000 yuan ($1,288) each to a Guangdong-based lighting facility maker for violating its trademark rights, under the mediation of the provincial court. The nine stores, in Wenchang and Qionghai cities, bought tungsten halogen lamps labeled as Fen Jiang, which is recognized as a famous trademark of Guangdong province, from visiting salesmen, but they did not examine if the products were genuine.
