Armstrong World Industries wins lawsuit against ceiling tile counterfeiter in Beijing High Court


In July 2013, the Beijing Higher People's Court ruled that Anhui Armstrong Building Materials Co., Ltd. infringed upon the trademark rights of Armstrong World Industries Inc. and engaged in unfair competition by using the well-known registered trademark "Armstrong" and the "Armstrong" mark on ceiling materials. Mr. Zhuang Minliang, Vice President of Global Group Affairs, Armstrong Asia Pacific, stated: "We are very pleased with this ruling. We will continue to cooperate with Chinese government departments and the judicial system to combat the infringement of our well-known brands and products. Armstrong takes this commitment seriously and will not hesitate to take necessary measures, whether criminal, administrative, or civil litigation, to protect the interests of our customers, investors, employees, and the communities in which we operate." As a global leader in the design and manufacture of ceiling and flooring products, Armstrong has invested heavily in China and has multiple production facilities. With the assistance of the industrial and commercial departments and customers, Armstrong has conducted successful anti-counterfeiting campaigns nationwide, seizing counterfeit goods and preventing their installation at retail locations, production sites, and construction sites. Based on the favorable ruling of the Beijing Higher People's Court, Armstrong will further require retailers and distributors nationwide who sell counterfeit Armstrong ceiling products without authorization to immediately cease sales of counterfeit products and unfair competition. Armstrong has exclusive ownership of its unique and registered "Armstrong" trademark. Genuine Armstrong products use all of its registered trademarks in a combined manner. Note: Counterfeit Armstrong products use the Chinese characters "Armstrong" on their packaging, with or without a logo, indicating that the manufacturer can use the "Armstrong" and "Armstrong" trademarks based on trademark registration number 1592039 under Class 17. Genuine Armstrong products do not use this trademark registration number. In addition, these products are not manufactured or distributed by Armstrong, and they do not use Armstrong's high-quality raw materials or adhere to Armstrong's quality standards. These products are of inferior quality, with quality problems such as sagging, bending, and falling, and may pose potential hazards, failing to meet fire and other safety, environmental, and other standards. Armstrong Company Profile Armstrong World Industries Inc. has been manufacturing and selling high-quality building materials in China for over 30 years. The company has invested over $150 million in production and marketing, and has built several new factories domestically in recent years. Armstrong is a global leader in the design and manufacture of flooring and ceilings. Armstrong's total sales in 2012 reached $2.6 billion.
