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.
