A Chinese milk tea brand is ordered to pay damages to Louis Vuitton after a court finds it infringed the French luxury company’s trademark. The Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court in Jiangsu province rules that Shenzhen-based Molly Tea used an unauthorized logo similar to Louis Vuitton’s four-petalled floral monogram. The court orders Molly Tea to pay 10.3 million yuan (about US$1.5 million), including 10 million yuan for economic losses and an additional 300,000 yuan, according to reporting by the South China Morning Post. Bloomberg similarly reports that the company must pay about US$1.5 million for trademark infringement and notes that the decision draws significant attention and debate on Chinese social media, with some users focusing on intellectual property protection. The ruling requires the company to make the payment within 10 days. The case highlights how trademark disputes involving well-known luxury brands can play out in Chinese courts when logos or branding elements are found to be confusingly similar.
