Measures against trademark counterfeiting to safeguard consumers’ rights and interests

With its increasing popularity, brands under the umbrella of Sinopec has become the target of gas station counterfeiting, which not only harms Sinopec’s brand image, but also infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of consumers. To address this issue, Sinopec has been working hard to fight against counterfeiting and protect its own trademark rights by taking administrative, legal and various other measures. Sinopec takes a zero-tolerance attitude towards counterfeiting. It is hoped that consumers can exercise due prudence to avoid deceit. Sinopec encourages consumers to contact Sinopec once they notice a gas station suspected of counterfeiting the logo of Sinopec.

Counterfeiting of Sinopec gas stations

At present, gas stations that counterfeit Sinopec’s logo are relatively dispersed, some of which are in remote rural areas. Maliciously obstructed by certain counterfeiters, efforts to get rid of them meet some difficulties. Due to some gas station owners’ lack of legal awareness, it is hard to get rid of the counterfeiters by means of persuasion, while the legal means may be hindered by the due time of relevant legal procedures. It takes time to get this done once and for all.

How to differentiate between real and fake Sinopec gas stations?

To differentiate between real and fake Sinopec gas stations, first of all, one needs to make sure whether the color, pattern and text on the roof board of the gas station are consistent with the standard logo of Sinopec. An authentic Sinopec gas station has bright appearance and is equipped with good facilities. The staff wear name tags and uniform clothes with the logo printed on the back. All staff members have received formal training and use standardized working language. Generally, the business license of Sinopec gas station contains characters of “Sinopec ×× Gas Station” on it.

A board with a price list, service items and Sinopec logo is generally hung in the service hall of the gas station. The oil products are purchased from formal channels with good quality. If you notice a pungent smell like heavy oil, you must be in a fake Sinopec gas station.
