Despite losing an opposition at the Brazilian Patent and Trademark Office (INPI), Xiaomi Inc., one of the largest tech giants in the world, is now attempting to cancel the registered trademark 1MI STORE through an administrative nullity process (Process No. 850250106493).
At the TWS AI IP Tool, we’ve seen this playbook before:
Big brands leveraging their financial power to expand their trademark rights beyond reason.
⚖️ Using legal pressure as a tool to intimidate smaller players.
Attempting to monopolize common terms like “MI”, regardless of context or industry.
But here’s the truth:
✔️ 1MI STORE was legitimately registered, after surviving a rigorous opposition process.
✔️ There is no realistic confusion between a global electronics brand and an independent retail and supply chain business.
✔️ Trademark law is meant to foster fair competition — not to serve as a weapon for market dominance.
✅ Provides risk assessment before filing.
✅ Detects patterns of abusive oppositions globally.
✅ Offers predictive analytics on nullity actions.
✅ Supports clients in defending their brands against corporate overreach.
This is more than a legal battle. It’s a fight for the future of fair competition in a global market increasingly dominated by legal bullying from superpowers.
The TWS AI IP Tool stands with businesses like YIWU YIMI SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT SERVICES CO., LTD, offering the knowledge and technology to confront unfair practices — and win.
