Mobile trademark suit

Oil giant ExxonMobil has filed a complaint against two auto component makers in Cixi city, claiming unauthorized use of its namesake lubricant trademark Mobile on spark plugs and shock absorbers. In the case heard in Ningbo Intermediate People's Court last week, one of the defendants said its products used in low-priced motorcycles also carries its own trademark, so doesn't mislead the public. The other denied production or sale of infringing products.
