一位不从事商标行业的朋友说,她总是搞不清楚“纽巴伦”鞋和“新百伦”鞋是怎么回事,希望笔者能讲一讲。这还真一两句讲不清楚。笔者得从1981年10月17日注册申请的■、■、■三件商标讲起。这三件商标的指定使用商品都是鞋,申请人为新平衡运动鞋公司,后更名为新平衡体育运动公司(以下称新平衡公司)。这是家美国公司。 A friend who does not work in the trademark industry said she always can not figure out what the “New Balance” shoes and the “New Balance” shoes are, and I hope I can talk about it. This really one or two is not clear. I have to register from the October 17, 1981 registration of ■, ■, ■ three trademarks talk about. All three designated trade names for the three trademarks are for shoes. The applicant is a new balance sports shoe company and later renamed New Balance Sports Company (hereinafter referred to as New Balance Company). This is a U.S. company.
