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.
這起糾紛始於2017年，當時華爲曾向歐盟知識產權局申請，爲其計算機硬件註冊商標，圖案爲兩個在垂直方向互聯的半橢圓。

Chanel said 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.
香奈兒認爲，華爲的商標設計與自家兩個水平互聯的半圓標識相似，其商標用於香奈兒的香水、化妝品、飾品、皮革以及服裝等產品。

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.
2019年，歐盟知識產權局駁回了香奈兒的反對，認爲這兩個商標並不相似，也不會造成公衆混淆。

The French luxury house subsequently challenged the ruling at the Luxembourg-based General Court, which dismissed the appeal in its ruling on Wednesday.
隨後香奈兒又向位於盧森堡的歐盟法院提出訴訟，不過這一訴訟請求也在4月21日被駁回了。

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.
法院認爲，兩個商標在視覺上的差異很顯著。“尤其是香奈兒的商標是更圓滑的曲線，線條更粗且爲水平方向，而華爲的標識則是豎直的。因此，法庭認定這兩個標識並不相同。”
