We, GS Yuasa Corporation and our subsidiary, Tianjin GS Battery Co., Ltd., have filed a complaint against Shandong Jiuli Industry and Trade Co., Ltd., Wu Maolin, GS Townson (Shanghai) New Energy Technology Co., Ltd, Chongqing Wanli New Energy Co., Ltd.

We have claimed that defendants were infringing our registered trademarks ”GS”(Chinese registration No.507630 and others). Defendants were also manufacturing and selling lead-acid batteries bearing “G・S” mark (pictured below). We have been fighting against defendants in court to stop defendants’ infringing activities and pay damages to us.
In January 22nd, 2020, court has accepted our claim and ordered defendants to stop manufacturing/selling their infringing products, change their company names, and pay 3,230,000 yuan to plaintiffs.
