Luckin Coffee Wins the "Thai Luckin" Trademark Infringement Case, Awarded Nearly 20 Million RMB in Compensation

On July 27, Luckin Coffee's official Weibo account reposted a notice released by Tilleke&Gibbins, a well-known law firm in Thailand. According to the notice, the Thai Specialized Appellate Court recently ruled that Luckin Coffee won the second instance of its trademark infringement lawsuit against the counterfeit "Luckin Coffee" in Thailand, upholding the original judgment of the first instance. The court confirmed that the defendant had committed malicious trademark squatting and infringement acts, ordered the defendant to cancel all registered Luckin trademarks, and permanently prohibited the use of Luckin trademarks in business activities related to the coffee industry, including "LUCKIN COFFEE", the Chinese character mark of "Luckin Coffee" and the deer head logo. Meanwhile, the court ordered the defendant to pay 10 million Thai baht in compensatory damages to Luckin, plus more than 85 million Thai baht in continuous damages, with the total amount exceeding 95 million Thai baht (equivalent to approximately 19.18 million RMB).

Back in 2021, on the eve of Luckin's planned entry into the Thai market, multiple local entities rushed to register the full set of trademarks including the English "LUCKIN COFFEE" mark, the Chinese character mark of "Luckin Coffee" and the little deer graphic, and registered similar enterprise names and official seals at the same time, then opened offline coffee stores relying on the squatted trademarks. In December 2023, Thailand's Royal 50R Group (50R group) filed a lawsuit with the court, demanding that the court order China's Luckin Coffee to pay 10 billion Thai baht (about 2 billion RMB) in economic losses, and the court has accepted the case for filing. Since then, Luckin has carried out multiple rounds of pre-litigation trademark dispute procedures with the trademark squatter, and the case has sparked extensive discussions from all sectors on the protection of legitimate brand owners inside and outside Thailand.

Gold sales sector continues to pick up, while the recycling business remains sluggish

Recently, the international gold price has been fluctuating. With the arrival of the summer vacation, the popularity of the Shuibei gold market in Shenzhen has rebounded remarkably. As the largest gold and jewelry distribution center in China, this area has received a large number of out-of-town tourists recently, with an endless flow of customers inquiring about prices and trying on jewelry. Some merchants said: "Our overall sales volume increased by around 10% in July month-on-month compared with June." The sales of wedding-style gold ornaments in Shuibei have been particularly strong recently, and many wedding-themed gold stores are very popular. Consumer preferences have also changed, and small-gram, lightweight gold ornaments are more favored by young consumers. Compared with the continuous warming-up of the gold sales side, the pure gold recycling business appears relatively deserted. After visiting multiple recycling stores in Shuibei, it is understood that due to the recent decline in gold recycling prices, the number of customers who directly sell gold for cash has decreased significantly.

Brazilian President Lula: The US's continuous tariff pressure on Brazil is a strategic mistake

On local time July 26, Brazilian President Lula published an article in the US media *The Washington Post*, criticizing the United States' recent move of successively imposing tariff pressure on Brazil. Lula stated in the article that the negotiations between Brazil and the US as well as the ruling of the US Supreme Court had abolished the first version of tariff policy launched in July last year. However, in July this year, the US government decided to impose new tariffs ranging from 12.5% to 37.5% on Brazil. The new tariffs are not only unfair, but also a strategic mistake: they have damaged the US economy and the partnership with Brazil, and will also cause disruptions to the currently highly integrated production chains of the two countries in the medium and long term, and Brazilian enterprises will replace US suppliers with other partners.

Large US Corporations Bid Farewell to Layoff Wave and Restart Hiring

Major US giants openly admit that they may end up needing to expand their workforce after all.
