2014/07/11

Recently, Tesla Motors was charged with trademark infringement in China, which became the latest example of overseas enterprises facing business difficulties in China. The Chinese businessman Zhan Baosheng has appealed to the Beijing Third Intermediate People's Court to formally file a lawsuit against Tesla, requiring that Tesla must immediately bring an end to its sales of Tesla motors in China and all related marketing activities. Besides, Tesla was requested to close all its showrooms in the Chinese market and all the super charging stations, and to pay Zhan Baosheng 23.9 million yuan (3.85 million dollars) as compensation.
