The Rabbit is considered to be the luckiest of the 12 animals of
the Chinese zodiac. Although the next Year of the Rabbit is not
until 2023, a recent judgement from the Guangzhou IP Court suggests
that 2020 may also be a prosperous year for the Rabbit.
The Guangzhou IP Court, one of three Chinese IP courts
established in 2014 (the other two in Beijing and Shanghai), has
recently issued a first-instance judgment in respect of a design
patent infringement case brought by an Italian company, Giovannoni
Design S.R.L (Giovannoni).
Giovannoni is owned by the world-renowned designers Elisa Gargan
Giovannoni and Stefano Giovannoni who have designed iconic pieces
for the likes of Alessi, Magis and Bertazzoni.
