Zimi's lawsuit against the Xiaomi sub-brand has sparked heated discussions
Today, "Zimi Official" issued a response to "Cool State", Zimi (ZIME independent brand, has nothing to do with Xiaomi) brand has suffered a series of false public opinion attacks on trademark squatting, product counterfeiting, etc., which has affected the company's reputation. As soon as this statement was released, it caused heated discussions among netizens.
According to the article, Jiangsu Zimi (a subsidiary of Xiaomi) has long been suspected of infringing the exclusive rights of the "Zimi" trademark, which is not only widely used in official publicity, but also involves product sales. The company has filed a civil lawsuit with the court on September 22, 2022.
Previously, the head of the market of Cool State Branch (Xiaomi's "Zimi" changed its name) revealed that the main company of "Zimi Official" at that time preemptively registered the ninth class trademark of mobile power supply 13 days before Xiaomi Group applied for the "Zimi" Chinese trademark, and before that the company was still an Internet catering company.
The person in charge also said that it was our fault that we did not get the trademark. It is hoped that large and medium-sized enterprises will pay attention to the awareness of brand protection when starting a business, and do not be "stolen" by people with intentions.

Volkswagen's entry-level pure electric car "bounced ticket"
According to the latest reports from German media, Volkswagen has confidently predicted that its new entry-level pure electric vehicle, the ID.2 all, will be launched this year.
However, Volkswagen recently changed its tune again, saying that the model will "skip the ticket" until mass production in May 2026. This news directly caused dissatisfaction among users at home and abroad.
The reason for this is that on the one hand, the EU has agreed not to update the existing Euro 6 vehicle exhaust emission restrictions, and there is still a market for gasoline vehicles.
On the other hand, the CEO of Volkswagen said that this will effectively reduce costs, and it is reported that the current planned production of the new model is only 80% of the maximum expected sales. Under the premise that the company plans to save money, the car is not currently generating much cash flow.

Huawei applied for a smart car trademark again
Recently, some media found in "Tianyancha" that Huawei Technologies Co., Ltd. applied for registration of a trademark called "Chitu Smart Car Digital Platform" on December 15, 2023.
It is reported that the international classification of the trademark "Chitu Intelligent Vehicle Digital Platform" is a scientific instrument, and the current status of the trademark is pending substantive examination.
This means that Huawei will further expand its business scope in the field of smart cars. Some analysts believe that the platform may focus on providing digital and intelligent solutions for automobile manufacturers to help the automotive industry achieve transformation and upgrading.
Huawei is still trying to gain a foothold in the smart car market with its deep experience in the field of communications and information technology.
