Summary of Trial Problem 模拟法庭案例

Fred Tomas v. OverShield Sporting Goods Co.

      弗雷托马斯  v.  全方位盾牌体育用品公司

案件事由：

弗雷托马斯虽然年轻 — 仅仅22 岁 — 职业 (MLS) 足球球员，但他天生具有一双迅速敏捷的脚，加上灵活的控球技巧和的过人速度，使得他在职业足球界进球排名与助攻排名中领先群雄，连世界足球巨星贝克汉都认为他是后生可畏的劲敌。 他在年轻的职业生涯中，早已蝉联三年金靴奖(相当于最有价值球员)，这是在 MLS 前所未有的。 他也自从2011年进入职业球队后带领他的球队—芝加哥火焰队—连续三年赢得全美职业足球决赛冠军。 他目前最精湛的武器是射门技巧—无论角球、任意球，或在进攻— 他总是能用左脚或右脚踢出躲避守门员进门的旋球。 因此，自他的新秀赛季开始，他赢得了一个绰号:”大旋转”。这简短的绰号立刻在美国足球界中流行，成为家喻户晓的足球员。 很多体育评论认为他再两年内将会是里奥 · 梅西的继任人，有的更称他为梅西和贝克汉的合体，超越他两位成为世界级巨星指日可待。其他球评更相信他是终于能为美国在 2018 年世界杯为美国赢得美国第一个世界杯冠军的希望。

Fred Tomas is a young – 22 years old – professional major league soccer (MLS) football player who is known for his quick feet and dashing speed passing defenders before scoring goals.  He has won the Golden Shoe (equivalent of the MVP) in the MLS for an unprecedented 3 years in a role.  He has also led his team, the Chicago Blaze, to a World Championship the last 3 years – since his rookie year in 2011.  His biggest weapon so far has been his tremendous ball striking ability that – regardless of whether it is a corner kick, a free kick, or during an attack – he is able to put a spin on the ball such that the ball always eludes the reaching arms of the goalie.  As such, since his rookie year, he has earned a nickname: the “Big Spin” and has been popular among the US soccer world.  Many sports commentators have hailed Fred as Lionel Messi’s successor in 2 years, and that he will finally bring the 2018 FIFA World Cup to the USA, a first for the Americans.

像任何年轻又有才华的天才性职业球员，弗雷不是没有任何缺点。虽然他知道需要在他快速成长的年轻女性和足球球员球迷族群中保持健美体型和运动员性感形象，他却无法克制他对珍珠奶茶的喜爱：他一天至少要喝三杯。（珍珠奶茶即台湾发明的一种以红茶、新鲜水果汁、或其他冷饮为主再加入牛奶和粉圆饮料)。人们批评他的这种喜好已高致上瘾的程度了，尤其这种饮料营养价值过低而且造成年轻人与成人肥胖、血糖过高等身体不健康的现象。

Like any young talented professional players, Fred is not without vice.  While he knows he needs to protect physique and athletic images before his fast-growing fan support from young women and football players, he is big drinker, at least 3 cups-a-day, of the bubble-tea drink (a sweet tea with milk or fruit smoothie plus tapioca balls created in Taiwan).  People have criticized this addiction, because the drink has been blamed for obesity, high in sugar, and low in nutrition value in teenagers and adults.

不过，他对珍珠奶茶无法拒绝的瘾性确有一个意外的贡献: 该饮料一夜之间在全世界走红。因此，当弗雷2013 MLS 季后经他的公关组织的一足球亲善之旅来到北京作宣传时，他非常惊喜的看到珍珠奶茶变成如此欢迎而且到处都可买。他也即刻地意识到他应该加入在这巨大珍珠茶饮料市场。因此，在他2013年离开中国之前，他聘请他的律师为他在中国将他的绰号英语BIG SPIN和汉语中的”大旋”作为饮料饮品类的商标申请。他也在之后顺利地获得该商标的注册。

However, his addiction of the bubble-tea does have one positive contribution: the drink’s popularity has sky-rocketed.  As such, when Fred came to Beijing as part of a goodwill tour organized by his publicist during the 2013 MLS off-season, he was so pleased that the drink is also popular and readily available.  He then realized that he should tap into the tremendous bubble-tea drink market.  Before he left China in 2013, he asked his attorneys to apply for a trademark application directed to the class of beverage drinks using the “Big Spin” nickname in English and Chinese.  He later received the registration of the mark in late 2013.

在2014 年他带领球队冠军之后，弗雷认为他应该回中国再做一个亲善之旅，再次接近他的中国球迷。而这次不只是北京，他还想访问上海，因为上海就像中国的纽约。他也很高兴地到处取得他商标许可的珍珠奶茶。然而，令他不快的是全方位盾牌（OverShield） 体育用品有限公司 (“OverShield”)，一个国际体育用品和服装企业，利用偷袭宣传/行销方式使用他的“大旋“商标在一款新的服装和鞋子上。在他返回到美国并前他曾有机会咨询他的律师团前，弗雷在推特Twitter 上分享了他在中国球迷分享的活动。在他已Twitter #BigSpin分享完后，他马上收到”赞助分享”或转发 OverShield:”你如何旋转?来中国 #BigSpin，来看看新款的足球鞋 #BigSpin”。

After leading his team to the championship in 2014, Fred thought he would do the China goodwill tour again to be closer with his Chinese fans in late 2014.  Instead of just Beijing, he thought to visit Shanghai as well because Shanghai is like the New York of China.  He was also pleased to see his mark all over the bubble-tea drinks.  To his dismay, however, he noticed that OverShield Sporting Goods Co. (“OverShield”), an international sporting goods and apparel corporation has ambushed his tour by introducing a new line of apparel and shoes with the mark “Big Spin.”  Upon his return and before he had an opportunity to consult his legal team, Fred went on Twitter to share his activities with his fans in China.  Soon after he tweeted #BigSpin in China, he received a “Sponsored Tweet” or retweet from OverShield: “How do you Spin?  See #BigSpin in China and check out the new line of football shoes #BigSpin”.

弗雷马上变得很愤怒，虽然他认为OverShield在中国使用 BigSpin 是个愚蠢噱头，并没有那么严重，但他现在却能在美国看到 OverShield 赞助的推特 (他知道 Twitter 在中国不可使用) 意味着 OverShield 使用他的绰号来推动足球鞋品牌的新产品。

Fred was furious because he thought OverShield’s use of BigSpin in China was a silly stunt and nothing serious.  The fact that he was able to see OverShield’s sponsored tweet in the US (he knows Twitter is not available in China) means OverShield is using his nickname to promote a brand new line of football shoes.

在和律师们协商后，弗雷授权他的律师在芝加哥联邦地区法院对OverShield提出商标侵权、侵犯个人名誉和不正当竞争的诉讼。同时，他还聘请了中国的法律律师，在北京和上海提起商标侵权以及其他侵权行为的诉讼。

After consulting with the attorneys, Fred has authorized his attorneys to file a trademark infringement lawsuit, in addition to right to publicity and unfair competition claims in the federal district court in Chicago.  At the same time, he has also hired Chinese counsels to file a trademark infringement lawsuit, among other claims, in Beijing and Shanghai.

模拟法庭程序：

为了模拟法庭审判，合议庭法官只需考虑商标侵权诉讼部分。在美国的诉讼中弗雷的律师要求陪审团审判，所以陪审团将在美国诉讼扮演对事实决定的角色。

在中国审判部分将依照中国一般知识产权案件判决但程序进行。美方律师也将在美国部分呈现美国知识产权诉讼的程序。

在中国的部分中，弗雷会提出证据，弗雷德的”大旋”是在中国的注册的商标，它获得了驰名商标地位。弗雷也将依照目前的证据说明OverShield 已在服装/鞋子类的申请”大旋”的商标。因此，弗雷会辩称 OverShield 已在中国侵犯他的”大旋”商标，即使他的商标类别不同于 OverShield 的申请。弗雷也将显示，OverShield 的”大旋”的申请是恶意的。

OverShield 将提出证据反驳弗雷的论点。OverShield 认为该公司并无侵犯弗雷的商标因为他的饮料”大旋”未能获得驰名商标地位，以致不可能导致买方的混淆。此外，OverShield 不没有恶意申请“大旋“商标。

审判目的：

我们希望通过模拟法庭活动说明以下的美国和中国的商标法律和诉讼的显著差异：

1.弗雷应提出什么样的事实和证据表述他的”大旋”绰号是在美国可受保护的商标?

2.哪些因素能在中国满足获得”驰名”商标的地位?

3.若弗雷的商标在一个类别中被认定为驰名商标，哪些因素或行为可让中国法院认定是商标侵权行为：被控人 (1) 尝试在不同的类别注册或已注册相同商标或 (2) 在一不同的类别中使用商标?

4.中国企业如何在美国得到普通法中的商标保护?
