China fines firms for using BMW-like trademark: media; Reuters, 12/19/16

Reporting by Engen Tham; Editing by Stephen Coates, Reuters; China fines firms for using BMW-like trademark: media:

The ruling is the latest win for a large foreign firm in China, a sign that courts are taking trademark infringement more seriously in a country dogged with fakes of everything from clothing brands to entire shops."
