    20-Year Trademark Dispute Between Luoyang Dukang and Baishui Dukang

    Luoyang Dukang holds the 'Dukang' trademark, while Baishui Dukang holds 'Baishui Dukang', and the two sides have long sued each other. The Henan High People's Court final ruling found that Baishui Dukang's prominent use of 'Dukang' constituted infringement and awarded 15 million yuan, while a Tianjin first-instance result was the opposite; relevant Baishui Dukang personnel were convicted of damaging commercial reputation for publishing false denigrating articles, and Baishui Dukang publicly apologized. Brand infighting led to shrinkage in the value of the 'Dukang' trademark.
