In recent two years, the dispute between YOUNGOR group and Wuhan citizen Li Chunhong about the "DP" sign has attracted the attention of the trademark circles. The reporter recently learned that the trademark of the State Administration of industry and Commerce has recently ruled that Li Chunhong's "DP" trademark has been revoked.


In 2005, when YOUNGOR introduced a self-developed high-grade high count pure cotton fabric shirt, it was named "DP cotton non iron" because it has excellent anti wrinkle and ironing effect after repeated washing.

However, when YOUNGOR promoted the "DP shirt", a dispute came unexpectedly.

In March 2008, YOUNGOR group received a warning letter from Li Chunhong, a citizen of Wuhan.

Li pointed out that in August 21, 2003, he registered and approved the "DP" trademark from the State Trademark Office, which was approved in the twenty-fifth category.

Used in commodities.

As the owner of "DP" clothing trademark, Li asked YOUNGOR to stop using the "DP" logo and report to the Yinzhou industrial and commercial department to investigate YOUNGOR's "infringement" on the shirt marking the "DP" logo.


YOUNGOR group soon commissioned Ningbo Tianyi Trademark Service Co., Ltd. to apply to the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board of the General Administration of industry and Commerce for a cancellation of the "DP" trademark.

YOUNGOR's main reasons are: the applied trademark DP is the acronym for "Durable press" in the clothing industry, meaning durable press or durable setting.

Anti wrinkle

After finishing the technology, the word "DP" has been used by many garment enterprises for a long time. It has been well known to consumers that the garment marked with "DP" has the notable characteristics of ironing after washing.

The trademark registered by Li only has two letters such as "DP", which will cause obstacles to the rational use of "DP" in clothing enterprises, and will cause huge losses to the applicants who have used the technology for many years.


After the trial of the Trademark Review and Adjudication Board of the State Administration for Industry and commerce, it was found that "DP" is a professional language used in the clothing industry.

The term used in clothing and other commodities only represents the functional characteristics of goods, and can not distinguish the role of commodity sources. At the same time, the word is used as a common symbol of the industry. If the applicant is allowed to get exclusive rights, it will impede the proper use of the word by the industry operator.

Accordingly, the Adjudication Board decided to cancel the registration of "DP" trademark.


YOUNGOR group, which has gone through this dispute, has been very cautious.

Reporters yesterday learned that, for further precautions, YOUNGOR group has submitted an application for trademark registration of YOUNGOR DP to the State Trademark Office.


At present, the trademark has entered the notice period.
