Description
Hong Kong-based JDB Group licensed the herbal-tea trademark Wong Lo Kat (dating to 1828) from Guangzhou Pharmaceutical from 1995, building it via its trademark red-can packaging into one of China's best-selling drinks before losing the naming rights in a 2012 arbitration ruling. It then relaunched the same herbal tea under its own JDB brand; a 2017 Supreme Court ruling let both companies keep using the red-can design.
