JIANGSU Broadcast Corporation has continued to use If You Are the One as the name for its popular speed-dating show, even though the Shenzhen Intermediate People's Court ruled it had infringed the property rights of a Wenzhou businessman by using the name. Chinese Business View commented on Wednesday:
A statement issued by Jiangsu Broadcasting Corporation said the verdict was "truly unexpected", as it had purchased a license to use the name from Huayi Brother Media Corp who produced the movie If You Are the One.
But according to the verdict, the broadcaster has to stop using the name even if it plans to appeal against the judgment. Therefore, there is no reason for it to continue to use the name.
