Like many other American companies, C. F. Martin & Co., Inc. has become the victim of unauthorized registration of its traditional trademark and of counterfeiting of its products in the People’s Republic of China. Specifically, Martin has become aware that its well-known script logo has been registered in the People’s Republic of China by a Chinese citizen without Martin’s consent. This individual has used Martin’s classic trademark on booths and displays at music trade shows in China and on guitars that are poorly crafted counterfeits of Martin’s guitars. Most recently, at the Music China Show held in Shanghai in October 2010, this individual or a Chinese company with which he is related had a booth displaying samples of these counterfeit guitars and using signage with Martin’s logo. Tom Lee Music, Martin’s duly authorized distributor in Hong Kong, Macau, and the People’s Republic of China, also displayed and offered legitimate Martin guitars and other products at the Shanghai show and distributes and sells Martin products throughout China.
Martin has engaged legal counsel in the United States and the People’s Republic of China to represent vigorously its interests in this matter. Legal counsel has filed a petition with the Chinese Trademark Office to cancel the unauthorized registration of its mark and is pursuing other legal courses of action to protect the interests of C. F. Martin & Co., Inc. as an internationally recognized guitar manufacturer.

下面是今年上海乐器展上假冒的中国马丁的一些照片。国际上,经常会把“中国”、“Made in China”这些字和造假以及侵权联系在一起,这绝对有辱国家形象。
