206 Supplemental Teaching Materials (1) [Exhibit13-1] The CONVERSE Trademark Infringement Case Tokyo District Court Decision 23 June 2009 Intellectual Property High Court Decision 27 April 2010 (Facts and issues involved) A brief summary of the case is as follows. Converse, Ltd was a U.S. company engaged in manufacturing and sale of sport goods such as shirts and shoes and owned a trademark CONVERSE. This trademark was well-known not only in U.S. but also all over the world including Japan. In 2001, Converse Ltd. was declared bankrupt and its assents were taken over by a new company called New Convers, Ltd. (hereafter referred to as New Converse ). A Japanese trading company, C. Itoh was assigned the trademark CONVERSE in Japan. C. Itoh licensed it to two of its subsidiaries. Under the Japanese trademark law, a trademark can be transferred without transfer of business with it. In Japan, at the time of this law suit, it was only less than 10 years since the trademark CONVERSE was transferred to C. Itoh and this trademark was not associated with C. Itoh and its subsidiaries among the Japanese consumers. The majority of the Japanese population associated the trademark CONVERSE with either defunct Converse, Ltd. or New Converse, Ltd. but not with C. Itoh and its group. A Japanese company, Loyal, Ltd., imported into Japan shoes manufactured by New Converse in U.S. with the trademark CONVERSE and sold them in the Japanese market. C. Itoh and its subsidiaries brought suits against Loyal, Ltd. in the Tokyo District Court and claimed that Loyal, Ltd. infringed the trademark of C. Itoh and its subsidiaries because the trademark CONVERSE has been registered in Japan by C. Itoh. C. Itoh and its subsidiaries sought an injunction to stop Loyal, Ltd. from selling products bearing the trademark CONVERSE in the Japanese market and also a damage award caused by imports of CONVERSE goods into the Japanese market by Loyal, Ltd. Loyal, Ltd. argued that a parallel importation of genuine trademarked goods is regarded as not infringing a domestic trademark under the Parker and Fred Perry doctrines and Loyal, Ltd. is entitled to import goods bearing the trademark CONVERSE. 1
207 Loyal, Ltd. further claimed that the conduct of C. Itoh and its subsidiaries is an illegal interference of business of Loyal, Ltd. and constituted an infringement of the Antimonopoly Law. (Decisions) The Tokyo District Court and Intellectual Property High Court held that the parallel importation of CONVERSE goods by Loyal, Ltd. constitutes an infringement of the Japanese trademark law and C. Itoh and its subsidiaries are entitled to an injunctive relief and damage award. The decisions are summarized below. Parallel importation of genuine trademarked goods is held not to infringe a domestic trademark if the following conditions are satisfied: (a) the trademark in question was duly affixed in a foreign country by the trademark owner or its licensee; (b) The trademark owner in the foreign country and the trademark owner in Japan are either the same person or are economically or legally a single entity; and (c) there is no substantial difference in quality of goods in question because the domestic trademark owner has control over the quality. The functions of a trademark are to identify the origin of goods and to guarantee the quality of goods and, as long as the above conditions are satisfied, a parallel importation of genuine trademarked goods does not cause harm to those functions, the interest of consumers is protected and business reputation of users of such a trademark is preserved. There is no mutual stock-ownership and interlocking directorate between C. Itoh (and its subsidiaries) and New Converse, Ltd. Nor is there any indication that those two companies are in substance combined together. Therefore, C. Itoh and New Converse are not the same person nor do they constitute a single economic entity. There is no evidence to show that C. Itoh can exercise quality control over shoes manufactured by New Converse. Loyal, Ltd. argues that the trademark CONVERSE is a world famous trademark and is widely associated with products of Converse, Ltd. or New Converse. Since C. Itoh and its subsidiaries have not established a reputation with respect to this trademark in Japan, a parallel importation of products bearing the trademark CONVERSE does not constitute an infringement of this trademark in Japan. The courts reply that the identification of the origin of goods simply means that products bearing the same trademark come from the same origin and, in this case, the origin indicated by the trademark should be regarded as C. Itoh which owns the trademark in Japan. As mentioned before, there is no relationship between C. Itoh and Converse, 2
208 Ltd. or New Converse, Ltd. in terms of stock-ownership, interlocking directorate or in any other way and, therefore, C. Itoh and New Converse cannot be a single economic entity. For this reason, to import products bearing the trademark CONVERSE without authorization of C. Itoh constitutes an infringement of the trademark owned by C. Itoh in Japan. Even if, as argued by Loyal, Ltd., the trademark CONVERSE is a world famous trademark and the majority of consumers associate this trademark with New Converse, C. Itoh is entitled to protection under the Trademark Law in Japan as the owner of the trademark in Japan, because the use of trademark is not a requisite for registering the trademark (the registration principle) and the owner of a trademark which has registered it can claim infringement of it against a party which uses it without authorization. (Legal issues to be discussed) (a) Is this holding consistent with the rulings of the Parker and Fred Perry Cases? (b) Under this ruling, are consumers protected? (c) Should this decision be reversed? If reversed, what is the significance of trademark registration? (d) If this decision is reversed and the parallel importation of products bearing the trademark CONVERSE is held not to infringe the trademark owned and registered by C. Itoh in Japan, does the conduct of C. Itoh and its subsidiaries to block the parallel importation constitute a violation of the Antimonopoly Law? 3
