Wahaha–Danone trademark and joint-venture dispute
Danone alleged that Wahaha-related companies outside the joint-venture structure were manufacturing and selling identical or similar products under the Wahaha name. Danone sought a larger interest in those activities, while Wahaha contested the claim. The dispute covered trademark assignment, parallel companies, distribution arrangements and control of non-joint-venture factories.
