Louis Vuitton Malletier, the luxury group behind the LV brand, has taken its trademark fight to Beijing Intellectual Property Court – and this time, the defendant is the state agency in charge of trademark registration.

According to a public notice from the court, the company has filed an administrative lawsuit against the China National Intellectual Property Administration (CNIPA). The case, docketed as (2026) Jing 73 Xing Chu No. 4727, is scheduled for an open hearing on July 16 at 9:30 a.m. in Courtroom 15. A third party, Huang Minyao, has also been joined in the proceedings.

The notice does not disclose the specific trademark at issue or the exact grounds of the dispute. But the case has already drawn some chatter online, with a few social media users questioning why LV would sue the administrative agency itself – some calling the move “overreaching” or “testing the limits.”

Legal practitioners say that reading is off base.

“When a party disagrees with a trademark ruling, filing an administrative lawsuit with the CNIPA as the defendant is a standard and lawful remedy under Chinese law,” said Dong Xuemin, a legal professional specializing in intellectual property. She explained that unlike trademark infringement disputes between private parties – which are civil cases – challenges to CNIPA decisions on trademark approval, rejection, revocation, or invalidation fall under administrative proceedings.

Under a Supreme People’s Court interpretation governing trademark authorization and validation cases, such litigation arises when applicants or interested parties contest specific administrative acts by the CNIPA, including refusal of registration, opposition review, cancellation review, or invalidation rulings.

The CNIPA’s statutory functions include trademark examination, registration, and administrative adjudication. “The agency has the authority to issue rulings on registrations, oppositions, and invalidation petitions,” Dong noted. “In administrative litigation, the defendant must be the administrative body that made the contested decision. So in these trademark cases, the CNIPA is properly named as the defendant. The trademark applicant, having a direct stake in the decision, is typically joined as a third party.”

Public records from the China Trademark Office show that between 2024 and 2025, multiple applications for four-leaf clover-shaped marks were filed under Huang Minyao’s name, covering goods and services ranging from semi-processed leather and schoolbags to advertising services. Some of those marks have been registered; others remain pending substantive examination or have been rejected.

The Beijing Intellectual Property Court, which will hear the case, was China’s first specialized IP tribunal. Its first-instance jurisdiction covers technical civil and administrative cases involving patents, plant varieties, integrated circuit layouts, trade secrets, and software, as well as administrative suits against central government departments or local authorities over copyright, trademark, and unfair competition decisions, and civil cases involving recognition of well-known marks.

The case follows a high-profile ruling last month that put a fast-growing Chinese tea chain in the spotlight. In early July, the Suzhou Intermediate People’s Court in Jiangsu province found that Shenzhen-based Molly Tea had infringed seven of LV’s registered graphic trademarks through the use of a four-petal symmetrical floral design. The court ordered the tea brand’s parent company to pay RMB 10 million in economic damages and RMB 300,000 in enforcement costs – a total of RMB 10.3 million.

The visual similarity between the marks was central to the ruling: both employ the same four-lobed symmetrical structure, with comparable petal curvature and central void proportions, according to court records.

Zhang Bocheng, founder of Molly Tea, responded on July 2 by saying the company would appeal the decision.

That civil case, now pending appeal, and the new administrative suit in Beijing are legally distinct but stem from the same underlying trademark portfolio. Whether the latest challenge will reshape the scope of LV’s trademark protection in China remains to be seen as the court prepares to hear arguments on Thursday morning.

Shanghai San Fu Heatwave ： 39°C Today, 40 Days of Extreme Summer

Shanghai Hits 39°C on Day One of San Fu — 40 More Days to Go

If you thought last week was hot, brace yourself.

Today, July 15, marks the beginning of San Fu (三伏) — the traditional Chinese term for the year's most intense heat period. This year it runs for 40 days, ten days longer than last year, stretching all the way to August 23.

This morning, Shanghai Meteorological Bureau issued an orange heat warning, with today's temperature expected to reach 39°C in the city centre. By 10am, Xujiahui was already among the top five hottest spots in the entire country. The city is firmly in what locals call "barbecue mode" — stepping outside feels less like going for a walk and more like opening an oven door.

And here is the uncomfortable truth: today might not even be the worst of it.

What is San Fu?

San Fu falls between two traditional solar terms — Minor Heat and End of Heat — and is considered the most oppressive period of the Chinese calendar year. It is not just the heat. It is the humidity on top of the heat that makes Shanghai summers particularly brutal. It does not just feel hot. It feels hotter than it actually is.

How San Fu breaks down:

• First Fu (初伏): July 15 – July 24 (10 days)

• Middle Fu (中伏): July 25 – August 13 (20 days) — the longest and typically the hottest stretch

• Last Fu (末伏): August 14 – August 23 (10 days)

The Middle Fu is the one to watch. A full 20 days of peak heat and humidity — and historically, this is when Shanghai's temperatures are at their most punishing. Last year, this period regularly saw temperatures exceed 40°C. This year, with San Fu running 10 days longer than usual, there is little reason to expect it will be any gentler.

If you see locals drinking a dark herbal tea from street stalls or convenience stores, that is 伏茶 (fu cha) — a traditional cooling drink consumed during San Fu. Locals swear by it. Worth trying.

Summer in Shanghai is never easy. This year, it has 40 days to go — and it is just getting started.

Fisherman Brunch @ TOMATITO

Slide to view more

TOMATITO—the sexy tapas bar overlooking a lake—is serving up a Fisherman Menu, and a weekend brunch with a side of live guitar.

Chef Koen has crafted a special menu built around the freshest catches, and it reads like a love letter to the sea.

Start with the sea bass ceviche, kissed with spicy yellow pepper sauce and brightened with corn, celery leaves, and coriander.

There are grilled sardine fillets for something simple and smoky, and mini lobster tacos with a pop of radish for bite-sized indulgence.

The Argentine red prawns come sizzling with garlic and sea salt, while the tuna salad is a lighter number tossed with cherry tomatoes, pickled chilli, and olives. 

For something more substantial, dive into a pot of steamed blue mussels in a herb-spiked spicy cream sauce, or the showstopping squid ink seafood risotto, loaded with baby squid and asparagus.

Come the weekend, all of this unfolds to the strum of a live guitar, in that effortlessly cool TOMATITO way—pet-friendly, laid-back, and just the right amount of sexy.

Last Chance!

Vivian Maier | Unseen Work @ Fotografiska Shanghai

Unseen Work, the first Shanghai exhibition of legendary nanny-photographer Vivian Maier (1926–2009), marks the centenary of her birth.

Dubbed "the most mysterious photographic genius of the 20th century," Maier worked as a nanny for five decades while secretly creating over 150,000 photographs.

Discovered by chance in 2007 when her negatives were purchased at auction, Maier lacked formal training yet possessed an uncanny ability to seize the "decisive moment."

Walking the streets of American cities between childcare duties, she captured fleeting moments of ordinary life with masterful composition and social observation.

Her work blends compassion, humor, and acute social insight, prompting The New Yorker to hail it as "an achievement that rewrites photographic history."

Huang Peishan | Crack in the Curtain @ Fotografiska Shanghai

Crack in the Curtain, the first institutional solo show by Huang Peishan, explores the evolving dialogue between image and space in the digital era.

As AI and post-processing reshape photography’s claim to truth, Huang transforms images into tactile presences.

Using digital editing, AI generation, composite printing, and resin, she creates works that resemble documentary evidence, yet reveal deliberate fissures—becoming “interfaces of illusion” between reality and fiction.

Ultimately, the exhibition invites viewers to reexamine the authenticity of images and the politics of vision itself.
