According to the Shenzhen Economic News, Chery said Tencent did not register
QQ as a trademark for use in the auto industry and QQ is not a highly-identified
trademark but merely two letters. Representatives from Chery came to Shenzhen to
negotiate with Tencent in 2003 but they failed to reach an agreement over the
payment required by Tencent.
Both Chery and Tencent refused to reveal detailed information of the failed
deal to 皇冠体育app Daily yesterday.
In a lawsuit settled last month out of court, GM argued that QQ was a copy of
the Chevrolet Spark, also known as the Matiz, designed by its GM Daewoo
subsidiary in Korea.
Experts in the business said the dispute with Chery and Tencent was a
complicated one and predicted it might lead to a lawsuit.
