| Abstract: |
The plaintiff authorized a third party company to use its trademark in certain products. It later found that this third party company used its trademark beyond the authorized scope without its authorization. The plaintiff thought it committed a trademark infringement and thus applied to the defendant. The defendant, after the investigation, made a decision (“decision at issue”) that the dispute belonged to the civil dispute and the administrative penalties were not applicable. The plaintiff objected and applied to the Industrial and Commercial Administrative Bureau of Guangdong Province for administrative reconsideration, which maintained the decision at issue. The plaintiff sued. |
