Thunder Laser Wins Trademark Infringement Lawsuit in Germany

Thunder Laser successfully won a trademark dispute in Germany. The result marked an important step in protecting the Thunder Laser brand and supporting the company’s continued development in the German laser market.

Thunder Laser entered the German market in 2011. With competitive pricing and reliable product quality, the company gradually established its brand, gained customers, and built a positive reputation in Germany.

Strengthening Product Safety for the German Market

In 2014, in response to safety and CE compliance requirements in the German market, Thunder Laser suspended sales in Germany and spent approximately one year completing a Class 1 safety redesign with support from SGS.

During this period of research and testing, Thunder Laser also integrated a high-performance servo system into its laser machines. Compared with the previous stepper system, the upgraded system doubled the running speed and, according to the company’s historical testing, improved engraving performance by approximately 20%.

After completing these improvements, Thunder Laser re-entered the German market with a stronger focus on providing comprehensive laser cutting and engraving solutions. The company continued to develop its brand and technical capabilities and gained recognition from professional customers.

Protecting the Thunder Laser Brand

In 2015, a competitor preregistered the Thunder Laser trademark in Germany, creating significant challenges for the company’s brand presence and local sales. To protect its rights, Thunder Laser began preparing documentation for legal action.

In 2016, Thunder Laser initiated legal proceedings related to the trademark registration. The company’s historical sales records in Germany, together with supporting documentation relating to its long-term business and product compliance activities, formed part of the materials used to support its position.

Looking Ahead in the German Market

Throughout this process, customer recognition remained an important part of Thunder Laser’s development. Their continued support strengthened the company’s confidence as it worked to protect its brand and improve its products.

Following the resolution of the dispute, Thunder Laser continued preparing for industry exhibitions and further development in Germany, with the goal of introducing its laser technologies and solutions to more professional users in the market.
