Formula 1 (F1) has referred information about the logo used for a concert tour by Chinese boy group Teens in Times (TNT) to the appropriate team for review and investigation, after motorsport fans said that the design closely resembles F1's trademark, multiple Chinese media outlets reported.
According to Beijing Youth Entertainment, F1 said in a formal response that "the information provided had been referred to the appropriate team and was currently under review and investigation."
Time Fengjun, a Beijing-based talent agency that manages popular idol groups including TNT, has meanwhile blurred the logo in its official concert videos, according to a report by Beijing Youth Entertainment.
Time Fengjun designed the promotional logo for TNT's racing-themed concert in May. Some motorsport fans said that the logo's red, three-part slanted design with a concave curve in the middle closely resembles the outline of F1's current trademark, which was introduced in 2017, with the original "F1" lettering replaced by "TNT."
The concert's stage screens, official footage and merchandise also feature elements resembling F1's visual style, which were used in ticket sales, performances and other commercial promotions, according to reports. No authorization from F1 has been reported.
Motorsport fans had reportedly raised concerns with Times Fengjun through official communication channels as early as July, but the company did not initially take action, Beijing Youth Entertainment reported.
Li Yunkai, an intellectual property lawyer at Beijing-based Beijing Tianyuan Law Firm, cautioned that F1's response does not mean that trademark infringement has been established already.
From a Trademark Law perspective, it would be premature to conclude that TNT has infringed F1's trademark based solely on the two images circulating online. More accurately, if the logo was indeed used without authorization from F1 and was used as a source-identifying mark in connection with the concert and its commercial promotion, there could be a relatively high risk of trademark infringement, he said.
F1's rights holder has registered relevant figurative trademarks in China, including No. 76729750 in Class 41, covering entertainment and performance-related services, according to Li. The case would be assessed based on factors including the similarity of the marks and services and the likelihood of consumer confusion, in line with China's trademark infringement standards.
The two logos are not identical but share similarities in their overall shape, slant, lines and visual style. The concert's broader racing-themed imagery could also be relevant in assessing whether consumers might believe there was an affiliation, sponsorship or authorization by F1, said the lawyer.
If the concert also used F1-associated elements such as "RACETRACK," racing and track imagery, or checkered flags, those elements could be relevant to assessing the likelihood of consumer confusion and the intent behind the use. Courts would consider the broader context in which the logo was used, rather than comparing the two logos as isolated graphic designs, including whether consumers might believe the concert had an authorization, partnership or sponsorship relationship with F1.
"A final determination would depend on the specific F1 trademark at issue, the scope of services covered by the registration, how the logo was actually used and the evidence presented by both sides," Li told the Global Times.

。                   这个数字意味着本轮停摆已经超越1995-1996年那次的21天，成为美国政府历史上第二长的“关门”纪录，仅次于特朗普首个任期内35天的历史纪录。

B | 同时考虑到特朗普本周末将开始访问亚洲，拨款僵局甚至有可能延续整个10月，并冲击历史新高。                   美国两党的这场预算角力，对经济的冲击也在不断显现。

C | 经济学家们曾测算，美国政府每停摆一周，会使年度经济产出增长率下降0.1-0.2个百分点。这些宏观数字的起伏，正在变成具象的画面。                   周二的现场视频显示，一家距离国会大厦几英里远的食品银行排起了长队，数百名被停薪停职的政府雇员纷纷前来，有些人表示这是自己生平第一次领取食品救济。                   组织者感叹称需要救济的人如此之多，以至于不得不额外调运一卡车食品。                   根据美国政府的发薪日程，这场停摆对经济的扰乱将在未来几天进一步加剧。                   到本周五，本月早些时候只拿到部分薪资的联邦文职员工将遭遇首次完整薪酬停发。白宫还警告称，即便采取非常规会计手段，也有可能无法按时支付美军军饷，下个月的联邦食品援助资金也存在风险。                   据悉，在200万现役和预备役美军即将错过10月15日的发薪日前，特朗普政府宣布动用约80亿美元的国防部研发资金来支付当期军饷，但现有的钱无法足额支付月底的薪资发放。                   美国的国内矛盾也已经传导到海外的美军基地。德国财政部周三宣布，计划向美国驻德军事基地约1.1万名当地雇员垫付薪资。                   从目前美国政府和国会传出的消息来看，这场僵局丝毫没有缓和的迹象。                   当地时间周二，美国总统特朗普在白宫招待参议院共和党人，期间美国总统强调“不会被胁迫”屈服于民主党人的要求——延长医疗保健税收抵免政策。随着现有政策到期，约2200万美国人的医疗保险费用将从明年1月开始激增。

D |                    据悉，参议院民主党领袖查克·舒默和众议院民主党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯已要求在与特朗普亚洲之行前会面，但特朗普周二晚间表示，他只会在政府停摆结束后与他们交谈。                   本周一，参议院第11次投票否决众议院版本的临时拨款法案，第12次投票定于周三进行。                   而从9月19日开始，美国众议院便持续处于休会状态。议长约翰逊明确表示，只要政府停摆持续，共和党众议员们整个10月都不会回到国会大厦。

E | 约翰逊及其同僚声称，无需为争取民主党支持而修改临时支出法案的任何一个字。
