HKLouis Vuitton is preparing to take China's trademark regulator, the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA), to court in a legal dispute that follows public backlash in China related to another ongoing legal battle against a local milk tea brand. The lawsuit, which involves a Chinese individual named Huang Minyao as a third party, was announced by the Beijing Intellectual Property Court in May. While the specific trademark issue at the heart of the lawsuit remains unclear, Louis Vuitton has faced multiple trademark-related legal challenges in China this year, with 58 judgments and court summonses already published on the country's official court platform. Additionally, 11 more trademark infringement cases involving the company are scheduled for hearings between mid-July and late August, according to data from the Chinese corporate database Qichacha. This is not the first instance of Louis Vuitton suing the CNIPA, as a similar case was heard in March.
