Recently, Beijing High People's Court made a final decision that the trademark in question is lack of distinctiveness, and The French Champagne Perrier Jouet S.A(as Perier Jouet) fails to approve that the trademark can distinguish the goods of a natural or legal person after massive use. So the court maintained the decision of the National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA).
 

Perier Jouet filed No.6318971 trademark registration on Class 33 alcoholic drinks, but was rejected by the Trademark Office. The disgruntled Perrier Jouet then sought re-examination to the CNIPA.

CNIPA held that the trademark in question is a packaging graphics of designated products, which lacked of distinctiveness and could cause confusion among the public. So CNIPA decided to reject the registration. Then, Perrier Jouet brought the case to Beijing No.1 Intermediate People's Court.
 

The Court held that the trademark has its unique feature, which can be applied for registration. So in the first-instance decision, the court revoked the decision made by CNIPA. CNIPA appealed to the Beijing High People's Court. Then Beijing High People's Court made the final decision.
