AMTD and TGE Triumph in Intellectual Property Case Against Infringing Activities in Austria

Legal Triumph for AMTD Group and TGE in Austria

In a significant victory for intellectual property rights, AMTD Group Inc., in collaboration with The Generation Essential Group (TGE), has successfully secured a court decision against unauthorized activities infringing their prestigious fashion publication brands in Austria. The case highlights the importance of protecting brand values and combating unauthorized use in the fast-paced world of global publishing.

On July 29, 2025, the Vienna Commercial Court issued an injunction against Regalia Company GmbH. This company had been misusing the trademarks "lofficielaustria" and "L'Officiel Austria" without authorization, even publishing a magazine under the name "L'OFFICIEL Austria". This arrangement not only violated AMTD and TGE's established trademarks but also diluted the brand's reputation and integrity, prompting necessary legal recourse.

AMTD and TGE's actions against Regalia Company GmbH are part of a larger global strategy aimed at safeguarding their intellectual property rights across various jurisdictions. Their relentless pursuit of justice embodies their commitment to uphold the principles of intellectual property, ensuring that their brands remain synonymous with quality and prestige.

Furthermore, alongside the court injunction, AMTD and TGE also achieved a decisive ruling from the Asian Domain Name Dispute Resolution Centre. The case, numbered HK-2502000, led to the cancellation of the illegitimate domain name https://lofficielshop.com/, which was being utilized by Regalia Company GmbH to sell the infringing "L'OFFICIEL Austria" publication. The decision underscored the panel's findings that the conduct exhibited was not only a clear indication of bad faith but also demonstrated a blatant disregard for legitimate rights or interests concerning the trademark.

These recent legal victories are a testament to AMTD Group and TGE's unwavering commitment to protecting their trademarks and preserving their brand reputations on a global scale. The companies assert that they have not authorized any publication of an Austrian edition of their magazine, standing firm against any unauthorized activities that may damage their brand image. They warn their loyal readers and partners against engaging with this unauthorized publication, reiterating that any content from the current "L'OFFICIEL AUSTRIA" is devoid of any connection to their established brands and heritage.

As AMTD Group and TGE move forward, their success in these legal actions sends a clear message to potential infringers: the companies remain vigilant and will actively defend their intellectual property. The strategies implemented by AMTD, TGE, and their subsidiaries, including comprehensive digital solutions provided by AMTD Digital, demonstrate a significant approach to modern-day brand management and intellectual property rights enforcement.

In summary, these recent rulings not only highlight the significance of protecting intellectual property but also reinforce the vital role that active enforcement plays in maintaining brand integrity and reputation in today's dynamic and competitive market landscape. With a commitment to safeguarding their trademarks, AMTD Group and TGE set a precedent for future actions in the realm of intellectual property protection.
