2025年2月6日，泰国中央知识产权和国际贸易法院（IP&IT Court）作出最新判决，支持中国最大咖啡企业及连锁品牌瑞幸咖啡（Luckin Coffee）的主张。法院裁定瑞幸咖啡对其商标及标识享有更优权利，并认定相关侵权行为成立，判令被告承担相应赔偿责任。 此次有利判决所涉诉讼源于2023年广受关注的商标争议案件。当时，泰国专门案件上诉法院（Court of Appeal for Specialized Cases）作出不利于瑞幸咖啡的裁决，该判决引发广泛公众关注，并引起业内对合法商标权利人为何会在泰国遭遇如此出乎意料且不利后果的质疑。 此后，瑞幸咖啡委托Tilleke & Gibbins律师所知识产权团队介入，以有效解决这一复杂的商标争议。鉴于案件的复杂性和重要性，团队发现，在先前的裁决中，法院未能对核心实质问题——即谁享有更优商标权利——进行审理。因此，“Luckin”商标及“鹿标识”在泰国的合法权属问题仍未得到解决，给瑞幸咖啡在泰国的商业布局带来了严重影响。对此，Tilleke & Gibbins 知识产权团队制定了一项针对核心实质问题的法律策略，使瑞幸咖啡得以恢复其商标权益，并成功获得大额赔偿。 在其最新的里程碑式判决中，泰国中央知识产权和国际贸易法院（IP&IT Court）一审对 Tilleke & Gibbins 代理的案件进行了审理，并认定本案与先前案件之间不存在“一事不再理”原则的适用问题。法院进一步确认瑞幸咖啡对“Luckin”商标及“鹿标识”享有在先且更优的权利，并裁定撤销被告在泰国的相关商标注册。此外，法院命令被告变更企业名称，并不得在企业名称中使用或展示“Luckin Coffee”一词（无论是泰语还是英语）。同时，被告被禁止在其咖啡业务运营中使用“Luckin Coffee”、瑞幸咖啡及“鹿标识”。 基于原告提交的大量证据，法院认定被告的侵权行为情节严重，并判决瑞幸咖啡获得总计 1,000 万泰铢（约 30 万美元）的历史性赔偿，该金额成为泰国商标侵权案件中裁定的最高赔偿之一。此外，法院裁定自本案诉讼提起之日（2024 年 3 月 4 日）起，被告需按每日 10 万泰铢的标准支付持续性赔偿，直至其完全停止侵权行为，同时共同承担原告的律师费用。 该判决体现了泰国中央知识产权和国际贸易法院近年来加大对知识产权侵权行为打击力度的趋势，并通过判处具有威慑性的赔偿以强化知识产权保护。本案的裁决为在泰国面临类似法律挑战的企业提供了重要参考，凸显了在泰国不断变化的商业环境中，企业采取完善法律策略以确立和维护商标权利的必要性。

On February 6, 2025, Thailand’s Central Intellectual Property and International Trade Court (IP&IT Court) rendered a new judgment in favor of Luckin Coffee, China’s largest coffee company and coffeehouse chain. The ruling confirmed the company’s better right over the Luckin Coffee trademark and logo, and awarded significant compensation to Luckin Coffee arising from infringement of its mark and logo. The litigation that led to this favorable ruling was initiated following widely publicized trademark litigation in 2023 in which Thailand’s Court of Appeal for Specialized Cases ruled against Luckin Coffee—a ruling that generated considerable public interest and raised questions regarding how the legitimate trademark holder could encounter such an unexpected and detrimental outcome in Thailand. Luckin Coffee then asked Tilleke & Gibbins’ intellectual property team to step in and obtain an effective resolution to these complicated trademark disputes. Recognizing the complexity and significance of the case, the team noted that in the previous decision, the court did not have the opportunity to address the core substantive issue of who held superior trademark rights. As a result, the critical issue of the rightful owner of the “Luckin” marks and “deer device” logo in Thailand remained unresolved, causing disruptions to Luckin Coffee’s business plans in Thailand. The team then devised a strategy that was able to address these substantive issues, enabling Luckin Coffee to recover its status and gain substantial damages. In its recent landmark ruling, the IP&IT Court at first instance assessed the new case built by Tilleke & Gibbins and found no double jeopardy between the previous and new cases. The court further confirmed Luckin Coffee’s prior and better rights to the “Luckin” marks and the “deer device” logo and ordered the cancellation of the defendant’s trademark registrations in Thailand. The court further ordered the defendants to change their corporate
