Lexington Furniture Industries Co., Ltd. (Lexington) accused Tianjin Fusite Wood Co., Ltd. (Fusite) and Laikexingdun (Tianjin) Trading Co., Ltd. (Laikexingdun Tianjin) to Tianjin Binhai New Area People's Court for trademark infringement and unfair competition. Tianjin Binhai New Area People's Court held that the two defendants constituted trademark infringement and should pay compensation to Lexington. However, both Lexington and Fusite appealed to Tianjin Second Intermediate People's Court. Recently, Tianjin Second Intermediate People鈥檚 Court made final judgment that the two defendants constituted infringement of registered "Lexington" trademark and unfair competition, and can cause confusion and misidentification among the consumers, which also constituted unfair competition.
