About this deal

With the philosophy of “helping the world” advocated by Chenliji 400 years ago, Guangzhou Pharmaceutical remains at the forefront of TCM development and introduces a popular version of TCM to the world, through the very same window where Western medicine first entered China.

With people glued to Olympics coverage in the past two weeks, Jia Duo Bao seemed to be omnipresent, reminding people at every turn of its identity despite the new name. It is precisely because of its weak brand personality that many sub-brands occupy a certain low-end market in the market. The first chamber of the court ruled on two product design infringement cases filed by Guangdong Jiaduobao Drink & Food Co. against Guangdong Wanglaoji Pharmaceutical Co. and its parent Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Holdings Ltd., China Central Television reported.

A recent conversation sparked my interest in the battle between Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Group and Hung To (Holdings) Co over the brand name Wong Lo Kat. At the moment, Wong Lo Kat's entire supply chain system is basically in good shape. The machines used for can customisation are in Shanghai and imported from Germany. When it comes to customised can technology, Wong Lo Kat has a couple dozen internal departments working together. As for what sales volume can be generated with the customised cans, so far, the percentage of overall sales is actually quite small. That’s mostly because Wong Lo Kat has been in business for so many years and our sales volume is huge. But I think that anything new has to go through the process of growing from small to big, so we are pushing forward with the concept. Wong Lo Kat" is the Cantonese transliteration of its name in Chinese characters. Wong Lo Kat originated in 1828 during the Qing Dynasty in Guangdong (Kwangtung) and Guangxi (Kwangsi) provinces of China, founded by a doctor Wong Chat Bong ( simplified Chinese: 王泽邦; traditional Chinese: 王澤邦; pinyin: Wáng Zébāng). Because the Wong family was the inventor of herbal tea brewing in southern China, the brand is synonymous with this type of drink. The recipe has been passed down through multiple generations to today's tea culture. [1]

This is the only magic weapon for competition, but it is also a weapon for digging and burying yourself. This not only required a large capital investment, but also required time and relationship maintenance, which was also an important factor affecting Wanglaoji. For Hongkongers with long memories, the term “floating restaurant” refers to a wide range of boat-dwelling food outlets, and they still exist. There’s one that cooks food every evening near this writer’s home in Causeway Bay even today. At the same time, Hongdao Group not only invests hundreds of millions of yuan each year to strengthen advertising, so that the brand’s slogans are echoed across the country. JDB was equally active at the retail level. I found red-can Jia Duo Bao herbal tea alongside Coca-Cola in a prominent display in the convenience shop in our office building. There was no sign of red-can Wong Lo Kat produced by Guangzhou Pharma. The same was true in a bigger supermarket near my home in Yangpu District in Shanghai.Scenarios and business are related. At the start, we had the red cans, and the scenarios referenced the most were related to eating hotpot, eating barbecue and staying up late. Gaming to a large extent belongs to the staying up late scenario because people involved in gaming often do stay up late, with three or five friends playing together for a longer time. This connects to the consumption mode. Also, for example, the outdoors context, where people are hiking and travelling, may be more relevant to bottled product scenarios. Furthermore, the Opposition Division correctly assumed that the goods and services were partially identical. The two terms "UNOW" and "NHOW", which are meaningless to the public and have an average degree of distinctiveness, are not sufficiently similar, and the public could more easily perceive the individual elements in such abbreviated signs. Whether resulting differences in signs also leads to a different overall appearance, however, must be examined on a case-by-case basis.

In its decision, the EUGC first examined the relevant public and concluded that the Board of Appeal had erred. The Board of Appeal had found that the trademark applied for was directed at professionals in the industry, whereas the earlier trademark was directed at the general public, meaning different publics would be relevant. At the same time, however, the Board of Appeal had also found that the appeal should be dismissed even if the public overlapped. The Court disagreed, finding that some of the goods covered by the later mark, such as lighting, heating or cooking apparatus, were indeed also directed at the general public and that the relevant public therefore overlapped, at least in part. However, the Board of Appeal's erroneous assessment is not sufficient to annul the contested decision, as it does not materially affect the outcome. Even taking into account the opinion of the EUGC, no other decision could have been reached.

About the author

Finally, in the absence of a link in the mind of the relevant public, the use of the mark applied for would not take advantage of the distinctive character or repute of the earlier mark. The action was therefore unsuccessful. Beginning in 2009, there were different voices within the two major groups regarding the use of the Wanglaoji trademark.

Although the arbitration ruling in May went in favor of Guangzhou Pharma, the case has produced some interesting repercussions. Four years later, Hongdao Group set up a production base in China and built the base in Dongguan, Guangdong. Jessica Li, an analyst with China International Capital Corp, said earlier that significant hurdles lie ahead for Guangzhou Pharma if it expects to reap the kind of sales windfall that JDB enjoyed. In the 1940s and 1950s, locals would go to small wooden boats in Aberdeen or Causeway Bay harbors for good cooking, with the Tai Pak boat in Aberdeen being a favorite. Sensing an opportunity, a local businessman named Wong Lo-kat bought that boat in 1952 and grew the business. It was a massive hit. There were soon a dozen substantial floating restaurants in Aberdeen Harbor, and this area was the place to come for an evening meal. The food and drink boats ranged from tiny little sampans to ferry-sized ships. Image: The World of Suzie Wong

What we’re doing is different from Coca-Cola because we base everything on our product’s roots. Wong Lo Kat is a very special part of Chinese culture, which is herbal tea, and the brand itself dates from 1828.
