Fiskars Corporation is a global leader of home furnishing, gardening and outdoor products, with products famous for practical and cutting-edge design, which has accumulated good social reputation. In 1987, Fiskars acquired the American GERBER Company.

GERBER Company was founded in 1939. Through times, GERBER has always been synonymous of superior quality tool products, especially in recent years, it cooperated with Bear Grylls who’s the famous outdoor survival expert and presenter of Discovery Channel "Man vs. Wild" in R & D, and produced Bear Grylls survival knife, making a wide range of market success.

It is understood that, as China's main tool production base, several companies including Jiajiale Tool Shop in Dongcheng Town of Yangdong County, Xuli Sword Crafts Distribution Store in the downtown of Yangdong County and Xuli Hardware Products Co., Ltd in Yangdong County, are suspected of making and selling "GERBER" tools. The trademark rights holder of "GERBER" -Fiskars’s choice of Yangjiang City Intermediate People's Court for proceedings, gives a powerful strike to the tremendous trademark infringements and unfair competition by local businesses in Yangjiang.

Li Hongjiang and Jing Can from Beijing Unitalen had a detailed analysis of the case in this litigation, and developed a comprehensive action plan: that is, the purpose of litigation is not just to stop trademark infringement, but to combat various unfair competition and counterfeiting in the market. So in the lawsuit requests, in addition to require the defendant to stop trademark infringement, Fiskars also requires the defendant to stop the use of same or similar name or decoration of the plaintiff ’s famous commodity "GERBER".

Yangjiang City Intermediate People's Court recently made the first instance judgment: the tools made and sold by the defendants-Jiajiale and Xuli and their use of “” and “ ” trademark on the packing, are exactly the same as the registration trademark of “” and “” previously registered by the plaintiff-Fiskars in sound, form and meaning, both of them are visually undifferentiated, so the defendant has constituted trademark infringement. More importantly, the judgment at the same time recognized that the commodity name and decor of the image of Bear Grylls made and used by Fiskars are the specific name and decor of famous commodity in accordance with provisions of Article V of Anti-Unfair Competition Law; in the overall visual effect, the position, pattern scale, pattern style, color and location of the defendant’s picture constitutes proximity with the special visual effect formed by the unique name and decor of the plaintiff's’ well-known commodity, and the behavior of the defendant can easily cause public confusion and misidentification. In addition, the tools sold by the defendant have been marked with "FISKARS" and the origin of "Made in USA", "Hong Kong Company", which allows consumers to mistakenly believe that the goods sold by the defendant are from "Columbia" and "America", or the manufacturer is "Hong Kong Company", which is suspected of "false propaganda". Based on the above, the Court considers that the defendant's conduct has constituted unfair competition. So far, Fiskars’ claims in this case were all supported, fully reaching its purposes. It is understood that the case is just the beginning of Fiskars to protect its legitimate rights and interests through litigation means in China.
