凯士比中国持续亮剑｜多维度打击侵权

Core Viewpoint - KSB, a leading brand in the global pump and industrial valve sector, has taken significant legal actions to protect its intellectual property rights in China, achieving notable success in combating trademark infringement and unfair competition [1][2]. Group 1: Trademark Infringement and Legal Actions - KSB initiated its first trademark infringement and unfair competition lawsuit in China against "Anhui KSB Pump Co., Ltd." in early 2021, resulting in a favorable ruling from the Anhui Provincial High Court on November 24, 2021, which recognized the infringement and supported all of KSB's claims [2]. - The court ordered the infringing company to cease sales of counterfeit KSB products, cancel its domain name, change its company name, publicly declare the cessation of its infringing activities, and compensate KSB for economic losses incurred due to the infringement [2][6]. Group 2: Effectiveness of Corporate Name Protection - Since 2024, KSB has actively investigated and taken measures against numerous companies unlawfully using the "KSB" name, resulting in many companies recognizing their infringement and rectifying their actions by deregistering or changing their company names [6]. Group 3: Combatting Forged Documents - KSB has identified instances where companies used forged KSB authorization letters and product certificates to mislead consumers and participate in market activities without authorization, prompting KSB to educate consumers on identifying genuine KSB products and pursue legal action against infringers [8][10]. Group 4: Regulating Market Sales Behavior - In 2024, KSB received reports of non-KSB products being sold without proper branding, leading to legal action against the seller to recall infringing products and compensate affected customers, thereby protecting KSB's brand rights [10][11].
