Hesco Defends Trademark in China

Brand successfully maintains rights to 'HESCO'

Leeds, England (ots/PRNewswire) - Hesco Bastion Ltd has
successfully defended its 'HESCO' trademark in China. The registered
trademark was upheld after a Chinese manufacturer failed in its
attempt to cancel the mark.

The China National Intellectual Property Administration reached
the decision to uphold Hesco's trademark and refuse the cancellation
action after reviewing evidence of Hesco's use of the name in China.
Hesco has rigorously enforced its HESCO trademark and other marks
against Chinese competitors, including successfully taking action
against a competitor for trademark infringement in 2015.

"We're very pleased with the decision," says Andrew Taylor,
General Counsel for Hesco. "These are life-saving products used by
the military and other customers in high-risk environments. It is
absolutely vital that our customers can trust the HESCO brand name
and trademark to clearly indicate the origin of products manufactured
by Hesco in the UK with the quality they can rely upon. We will
continue to take action against any companies infringing the HESCO
trademark and any other intellectual property owned by Hesco."

Despite longstanding ownership of the trademark and consistent
action taken against its infringement, Hesco continue to serve cease
and desist notices to manufacturers producing potentially inferior
products using the HESCO name.

This decision serves as a reminder that the HESCO brand is
internationally recognised and that the HESCO trademark must only be
used in conjunction with products manufactured by Hesco in the UK.

Hesco Bastion are the creators of the original earth-filled
barrier, used extensively for force protection in hostile
environments for the last 30 years. This led to part of the name
being lent to the former 'Camp Bastion' military base in Afghanistan,
which was constructed primarily of the barriers.
