Normally, when a dispute between 2 parties occurs and they can’t solve it on their own, whether due to the untrustworthiness of the other party or the lack of expert opinions, etc., they would usually ask for the presence of an arbitration. Arbitration not just in IP disputes but in disputes, in general, is very useful. This is because the help of arbitration is somewhat still the ‘friendly’ way of solving a problem. So, what is arbitration, and what is the [...]
Although arbitration has many benefits as mentioned in the previous article, as can be seen from practice, not all IP disputes can be resolved in silence or peacefully. If we don’t discuss the nature of a dispute that is too significant or too aggressive, commonly, the ‘normal’ disputes still won’t be resolved due to the incomplete side of arbitration in IP disputes. Arbitration is the out-of-court resolution of a dispute between parties to a contract, decided by an impartial third [...]

In China, cases of trademark applications involving coexistence agreements are increasing year by year. According to the doctrine of the exclusive property of trademark rights, two identical or similar trademarks on the same or similar goods cannot coexist in the market for a long time. But there is a phenomenon of trademark coexistence in reality. Accordingly, for the same or similar trademarks used on goods or services, if the owner of the cited trademark agrees to the coexistence of [...]
A geographical indication enables one business to exclude other competitors from using a certain mark, but unlike a trademark, it has no “exclusive owner.” Both a trademark and a geographical indicator serve the purpose of displaying the origin and quality of goods in relation to company earnings while also gaining intellectual property protection. Based on these parallels, some nations protect geographical indicators as a trademark under a trademark and geographical indication protection statute, while others protect geographical indications as a [...]

According to current practice, [...]
