On October 1, 2019, our company brought a lawsuit before the Tokyo District Court against a company called Travelplus International Co., Ltd. (“Defendant”), which had been selling counterfeits of our products under the brand name “SWISSWIN”, in order to seek an injunction against such trademark infringement by Defendant (Case No. Reiwa 1 (Wa) 26463). On September 29, 2020, the court rendered a judgment fully recognizing our allegations. Subsequently, Defendant appealed against this judgment (Case No. Reiwa 2 (Ne) 10060); however, on April 21, 2021, the Intellectual Property High Court decided to dismiss the appeal, which became final and binding on May 7, 2021.

Defendant, established in 2016, is a subsidiary in Japan of Xiangxing (Fujian) Bag & Luggage Group Co., Ltd. (collectively, “Xiangxing Group”), which used to be an OEM manufacturer of our products.

The court of the first instance in its judgment recognized the facts that (i) Xiangxing Group manufactured and sold products bearing marks similar to the Wenger trademark while engaging in OEM manufacturing of Wenger products, (ii) Xiangxing Group attached a SWISSWIN tag on such OEM products (SWISSGEAR by WENGER) and sold them as their own products, and (iii) distributors of SWISSWIN products confused SWISSWIN with Wenger and displayed a product name containing both, all of which are unprecedented findings as to Defendant’s infringing acts.

It is quite regrettable that we had to face such bold and organized trademark infringement. We will maintain our strict measures against any counterfeiting activities that infringe upon our trademark and other IP rights so that our customers will be able to continue purchasing Wenger products without worry.

About Wenger SA
Wenger SA was established in 1893 as a manufacturer of Swiss army knives. Since its incorporation into Victorinox AG Group in 2005, Wenger, as a watch and travel gear brand, has been manufacturing and selling worldwide high-quality products.
