路透社报道称，这一商标纠纷显示出，奢侈品牌“妒忌地”保护他们的标志性logo和商标，因为这对于全世界数以百万的人而言，通常意味着奢华、时尚和独特。

The trademark spat underlines how luxury brands jealously guard their signature logos and trademarks that often symbolise luxury, style and exclusivity to millions of people worldwide.

报道称，这起纠纷始于2017年，当时华为曾向欧盟知识产权局申请，为其计算机硬件注册商标，图案为两个在垂直方向互联的半椭圆。

The dispute dated to 2017 when Huawei sought approval from the EU Intellectual Property Office (EUIPO), a trademark body, to register its computer hardware trademark which has two vertical interlocking semi-circles.

香奈儿认为，华为的logo设计与自家两个水平互联的半圆logo相似，其logo用于香奈儿的香水、化妆品、饰品、皮革以及服装等产品。

Privately owned Chanel objected, saying that the design was similar to its registered French logo of two horizontal interlocking semi-circles used for its perfumes, cosmetics, costume jewellery, leather goods and clothing.

2019年，欧盟知识产权局驳回了香奈儿的反对意见，认为这两个logo并不相似，也不会造成公众混淆。

In 2019, the trademark office dismissed Chanel's objection, saying there was no similarity and no likelihood of confusion in the mind of the public.

随后香奈儿又向位于卢森堡的欧盟法院提出诉讼，不过这一诉讼也在本周三被驳回了。

The French luxury house subsequently challenged the ruling at the Luxembourg-based General Court, which dismissed the appeal in its ruling on Wednesday.

法院认为，两个logo在视觉上的差异很显著。“尤其是香奈儿的标识是更圆滑的曲线，线条更粗且为水平方向，而华为的标识则是竖直的。因此，法庭认定这两个标识并不相同。”

The tribunal said the visual differences in the two logos were significant. "In particular, Chanel's marks have more rounded curves, thicker lines and a horizontal orientation, whereas the orientation of the Huawei mark is vertical. Consequently, the General Court concludes that the marks are different," it said.

据BBC报道，香奈儿仍可上诉，目前并未就此事发表评论。

The latest decision can also be appealed to the European Court of Justice. Chanel declined to comment on the ruling.
