A cake shop in Nantong for sale? Ice pier? The cake was found by the relevant departments. At present, the store is suspected of infringing the intellectual property rights of the Winter Olympics Organizing Committee, and related products have been removed from the shelves, and the amount involved is still under investigation.

I. Answers to intellectual property issues in the Winter Olympics

Usually, the Olympic Committee and the host city will sign relevant requirements, including the provisions on the intellectual property rights of Olympic symbols and mascots during the Olympic Games. During the Olympic Games, all intellectual property rights related to the Olympic Games belong to the International Olympic Committee. Therefore, during the Winter Olympics in China, all intellectual property rights of the Olympic symbols, ice piers and snow Rong Rong are owned and supervised by the Olympic Committee.

Second, the store's behavior involves infringement.

Without the permission and authorization of the Olympic Organizing Committee, the store's illegitimate son sells cakes in the shape of ice piers in the store and on the online platform, making profits for the store itself, which has violated the requirements of the above agreement, and also violated China's Trademark Law, People's Republic of China (PRC) Copyright Law and other relevant regulations.

After the report, the market supervision department has collected relevant evidence, ordered the store to immediately stop the infringement, removed the relevant products, and will impose corresponding penalties according to the profit amount.

According to the law, if the circumstances are minor, a warning and a fine of 1000 yuan may be imposed; If the circumstances are serious and the amount involved is large, resulting in serious negative effects, they may be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than one year but not more than three years.

Third, how to identify infringement.

After the incident, many netizens said that whether portraits painted with ice piers should also bear the responsibility, and experts also gave explanations. The purpose of infringement here is to use the intellectual property rights of Bingdun for their own benefit, and its nature is trading or selling, which involves economic interests. This is a typical infringement.

Making and eating spaghetti by yourself will not harm intellectual property rights, nor will it harm the economic interests of the Olympic Committee. It does not constitute infringement and does not need to bear the corresponding punishment.
