In previous years, hard-earned tea leaves were squeezed out of the market by counterfeit goods. Now that I see the court take action, I feel more confident On the eve of spring tea mining, during the "Protecting Tea Fragrance with Law" public open day event held by the People's Court of Xihu District, Hangzhou City, Zhejiang Province, representatives of tea farmers in Longwu Village sighed after attending the trial of a tea related case. On March 20th, West Lake Longjing will undergo comprehensive mining. To safeguard the production and sales of spring tea, the People's Court of Xihu District launched a special judicial action on March 18th, inviting more than 20 tea farmers, tea enterprise representatives, and media reporters to enter the Xihu Scenic Area Tourism Court and attend the trial of a counterfeit "Lion Peak" registered trademark case on site. After trial, it was found that the defendant Yang used the "Lion Peak" trademark to package tea from non West Lake Longjing tea production areas without authorization from Zhejiang Tea Group, with an illegal business turnover of over 60000 yuan; The defendant Dong knowingly sold counterfeit products through online channels, with an illegal business turnover exceeding 100000 yuan. The court sentenced Yang and Dong to fixed-term imprisonment and fines respectively for the crimes of counterfeiting registered trademarks and selling counterfeit registered trademark goods. As one of the first geographical indication protection products in China, the brand value of West Lake Longjing has ranked first among national tea regional public brands for five consecutive years. In recent years, Hangzhou courts have focused on the protection of time-honored tea brands, vigorously cracking down on infringement, establishing a collaborative mechanism, setting up shared courts, and promoting the expansion and capacity of the judicial protection alliance for famous tea brands, effectively safeguarding the legitimate rights and interests of tea farmers and consumers.
