Luthiers: New threat from China: Trademark hijack!                        http://www.delcamp.us/styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gifby GuitarVlog » Saturday 01 January 2011, 21:03 pm
                                                It already happened to CF Martin. The worst part is, it's completely legal in China!

Excerpt from the main article:

International Trademark Nightmare

C.F. Martin executives got an unwelcome surprise when they arrived in Shanghai for Music China this past October: Another C.F. Martin had set up shop in the trade show hall.

The exhibit bore the Martin & Co. logo, down to the tag line "Est. 1833," and featured dead ringers of several best-selling Martin guitars. And yet the company had no relation to C.F. Martin.

"Like many other American companies, C.F. Martin & Co. Inc. has become the victim of unauthorized registration of its traditional trademark and of counterfeiting of its products in the People's Republic of China," said a statement C.F. Martin released after the international trade show.

But according to Ron Bienstock, a leading music industry attorney and partner with Bienstock & Michael, the Martin double was within its legal rights — at least in China.

其实中国的商标在国外也被抢注过，这不仅仅是一个道德问题，还是有法律途径能解决的

只能说马丁不重视中国市场，这种商标被抢注的例子在taylor，gibson任何大品牌都没出现过，这事确实做的比较猪头

其实受害者首先是我们自己人，因为这些国产马丁出口到国外会有大麻烦，但是在国内销售是合法的

可怕啊

我是法盲，会不会国内卖美国马丁的店被这个中国马丁告了？
