How to investigate and deal with fake Huangjiu?

Shaoxing Huangjiu represents the national image and embodies the national standards. There was a detailed introduction to the Aged Wine in the previous [Morning Reading of Huangjiu". One reader left a message after reading the article. He said that there were numerous requirements of the aged wine. However, the market of Huangjiu was disturbed by some illegal enterprises. And some consumers said that there were not only fake Huangjiu, but also many fake trademarks. In this regard, I consulted the relevant experts in the Shaoxing Huangjiu Trademark Protection Office.

It is understood that a total of 75 food production enterprises in Shaoxing have obtained valid Huangjiu production licenses, including 16 export enterprises and 15 enterprises with the certificate of origin. At present, the Huangjiu production of Shaoxing accounts for nearly one fifth of the production of the whole country. Thus, Shaoxing is a well-deserved main production area of Huangjiu. In recent years, there was fake Huangjiu in the market. Therefore, Shaoxing Huangjiu Trademark Protection Office was established in 2017.

There are many illegal acts of using trademarks, such as trademark infringement, trademark counterfeiting, malice registration of trademarks and nonstandard use of trademarks. For example, some enterprises used [Nv Er Hong" and [Zhuang Yuan Hong" without authorization, which infringed the rights and interests of relevant registered companies. And there are many fake trademarks in the market. For example, a winery launched "Qingchun Ruliu" which imitated "Qingchun Junlang" of Gu Yue Long Shan. And some wineries even launched "Gu Yue Laojiu", "Gu Yue Shanzhuang" and other products, which infringed the rights and interests of Gu Yue Long Shan. In addition, some companies used trademarks in an nonstandard way. When Gu Yue Long Shan launched the "Treasury" series, some companies used the registered trademark mark on the "Treasury" series without registration.

On January 30th this year, Shaoxing Municipal Market Supervision Bureau reported the top ten typical cases of Huangjiu in 2018, and investigated and penalized practices of disturbing the market, as follows:
