\u0026 nbsp;

Trademark right disputes, is there a stealing? \u0026 nbsp;
From the perspective of the establishment time, Japan MUJI was established in 1980 and Miantian was established in 2000. So why is that why is it? The two parties will have a lawsuit on the trademark right for so many years. Even if the Japanese MUJI is lost, it must be called \u0026 ldquo;
\u0026 nbsp;
\u0026 nbsp;

\u0026 nbsp;
\u0026 nbsp;
Although since entering the Chinese mainland market in 2005, Japanese MUJI Good products have also registered a lot of trademarks, but it seems to be slow in this category.
