Compensation award

A Chinese court has ordered an affiliate of US sneaker maker New Balance to compensate a Chinese citizen 98 million yuan (US$16 million) for infringing his trademark rights.

The Guangzhou Intermediate People’s Court also ordered New Balance Trading (China) Co to stop using “Xin Bai Lun” to promote its products in China.

The court said the New Balance affiliate sold its products in the Chinese market under the name “Xin Bai Lun,” similar to the trademark “Bai Lun” registered by a man surnamed Zhou in 1996. Zhou also registered “Xin Bai Lun” in 2011.
