“IPHONE”商标争夺战结案：
苹果输了 - 商标.IPHONE - IT资讯
IT资讯讯 4月30日消息，据美通社近日披露，2016年3月31日，北京市高级人民法院作出“（2016）京行终1630号”《行政判决书》，终审驳回了苹果公司的上诉，终结了苹果公司与新通天地科技（北京）有限公司关于“IPHONE”商标权纠纷。据了解，上述两家公司关于“IPHONE”商标的纠纷已持续四年之久，新通天地在此次诉讼中获得了胜利。
2007年9月29日，新通天地公司向商标局提出注册第6304198号“IPHONE”商标申请，申请在国际分类第18类仿皮、牛皮、钱包、小皮夹、皮制绳索地等商品上使用。
法制日报报道称，北京一中院经审理认为，被异议商标的申请日期为2007年9月29日，而苹果公司针对其“IPHONE”商标提交使用证据绝大多数形成于被异议商标申请日之后，且数量很少，故苹果公司提交的证据不足以证明其“IPHONE”商标于被异议商标申请前达到驰名程度。被异议商标的申请注册未违反2001年商标法的有关规定。故驳回苹果公司的诉讼请求。苹果公司不服一审判决，向北京市高级人民法院提起上诉。
美通社报道称，作为“IPHONE”18类商标所有权者，新通天地科技（北京）有限公司表示：感谢苹果公司严谨的公司治理，将“iPhone”商标做到唯美并高品阶地推向了市场，苹果公司成功的商业运行和市场营销让“iPhone”成为了高科技和时尚的符号。
