For some years now eBay is tied up in litigation with manufacturers of branded products in Europe. Two issues caused law suits in among other countries France, Germany and Austria:

1. marketers of premium products want to control online distribution of their products and

2. eBay refuses responsibility for trading of counterfeit products on its platform.

Now ebay calls its clients and users to participate in an online petition, see here: https://secure.ebaycampaigns.com/en/ to change European legislation.

Laut Business Wire, hat Energizer eine weltweite Markenlizenz an einen Hersteller von Solar-Produkten vergeben, primär für Solarg-getriebene Ladegeräte.

Energizer, einer der größten Batterie-Hersteller, vergab die Lizenz für zunächst drei Jahre. Schade, dass die wunderbare Marke Varta nicht mehr überschaubar geführt wird.

Wie hier berichtet, erwerben zwei Chinesische Firmen die dortigen Lizenzen von Pierre Cardin.

Pierre Cardin wird einen Teil seiner Aktivitäten in China an zwei Unternehmen auf dem chinesischen Festland verkaufen. Der Kaufpreis liegt bei rund 200 Millionen Euro.

According to business wire, a developer, manufacturer and marketer of solar panels and products, today announced that it has signed a global licensing agreement with Energizer.

Energizer, one of the largest manufacturers of batteries, will grant the licensee the global rights to its trade name for solar-powered chargers and related products.

The agreement is supposed to run three years.

Reportedly,  Pierre Cardin is selling parts of his Chinese business as licenses.
Two companies from mainland China are buying licenses for ready-to-wear and accessories for 200 Mill. Euros.
