Theft of ERGO CHEF Trademarks
In addition to manufacturing and selling knock-off ERGO CHEF products, some of these companies have filed numerous trademark applications in China and other Asian countries on ERGO CHEF trademarks.

For example, they have filed trademark applications in China in practically every possible Trademark Class, which we believe is in an effort to steal our trademarks and goodwill to try to fool our Asian customers.

We are in the process of opposing as many of these trademark applications as practical. We recently received three Official Decisions from the Peoples Republic of China Trademark Office that agreed that these companies have acted in bad faith by attempting to register ERGO CHEF trademarks. Here is how one Official Decision stated it [we are the “Opponent”; they are the “Opposed Party”]:

“The [trademark] applied by the Opposed Party in several Classes are exactly the same as the Opponent’s mark used on their products. Obviously, it has subjective intention of plagiarism and imitation of the Opponent’s trademark. The Opposed Party’s behavior violates the principle of honesty and disrupts the market order of fair competition.”

We couldn’t agree more with these Official Decisions and want you, our valued customers, to be aware of this so that you are better able to purchase the full line of genuine ERGO CHEF products with confidence, knowing that the products you purchase are of the highest quality, backed by our full Warranty and over 25 years in the business.

A copy of the three Official Decisions can be found HERE (in Chinese):

TX58477 Decision
TX58478 Decision
TX58486 Decision

We look forward to continuing to serve our values customers by offering genuine ERGO CHEF products.

And let us know your thoughts – we love hearing from our customers!
