Backlash after China bubble tea firm ordered to pay Louis Vuitton $1.5m
On Thursday, a court in Suzhou, just east of Shanghai, ordered Molly Tea to stop using of the logo, issue a public apology and to pay damages to Louis Vuitton, according to Chinese state media China Daily.
Only the trademark containing the Chinese characters for "Molly Tea" was successfully registered, China Daily reported.
Chinese media reported last week that a court in the eastern Jiangsu province ruled that the Shenzhen-based tea company had copied Louis Vuitton's iconic four-petal flower monogram trademark.
