5 months detention, 10,000 RMB fine and permanent suspension.
This is the final result of a procedure faced by a Chinese IP
agency based in Chongqing for forging official documents.
The agency was reported by its client to CNIPA for
counterfeiting the documents of trademark registration
acceptance.
On February 2020, Chongqin Qixin IP agency delivered the notice
of trademark registration acceptance to its client. However, the
notice was later found to be fake, and it was discovered that the
applicant's name and address were only modified from an
official electronic notice.
Well along, it was also proved by the CNIPA that they did not
issue any notice for acceptance of those trademarks.
