Moreover, every single video posted on a specific platform is very well adapted to that specific network's audience and style. Consequently, from 1998 onwards, the two companies, GPH and JDB, were producing the same product using the same trademark, WANG LAO JI, but were selling the tea in very different containers: the green container and the red can. Okay, if this was just a metaphor, where was the deception part? Under what grounds was the suit filed? And who filed it? Well, let's explore. Benjamin Careathers v. Red Bull North America, Inc. Good examples of this approach may be found in the car manufacturers Dongfeng/Citroën and Huachen/BMW. In both instances, the companies use the Chinese brand alongside the foreign brand. Therefore, should the relationship between the Chinese party and the foreign party come to an end for any reason, the Chinese party may continue using its own name.

A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface. The Red Bull case confirms the principle that the goodwill attached to a trademark cannot be separated from the trademark right, and that, at the end of a licence, no compensation is due to the licensee. From leveraging TikTok, the most popular social media platform of the moment, to ingeniously using influencer marketing, moving forward, we’ll deconstruct and dive into some of Red Bull’s most successful marketing strategies. A Hotjar cookie that holds the current session data. This ensures that subsequent requests within the session window will be attributed to the same Hotjar session. If you're curious about how you can equally get your competitor's social media data just as easily, let me walk you through the steps I took when doing this competitive analysis using Socialinsider.As the data pulled from the Socialinsider app has shown, the brand's channel video views have continuously increased since it started incorporating Shorts into its YouTube marketing strategy. Known for its long association with extreme sports - like Formula One, Red Bull has extended the brand’s already contoured story, adding one more chapter to it with the launch of its TikTok account.

And like Bill Gates says, "Your most unhappy customers are your greatest source of learning." This time, they realised and were cautioned. And thus, they changed their ad slogan to "Red Bull gives you wiiings." This was another clever shot, whereby this time, none could sue Red Bull because there won't be any dictionary meaning of 'wiiings' (with 3 i's), while it would still sound like 'wings'! A superb idea, indeed. From a glance, it would seem that Red Bull's marketing strategy is the more effective one, given that it helped the brand gain both a bigger fanbase and increased engagement. As a brand that targets highly energetic persons, adventure lovers, and adrenaline seekers through its TikTok channel - instead of having a hard product and sales approach - Red Bull tries to rather emphasize its connection with such personalities. @redbull try and find a big wave more insane than Nazaré in Portugal, we *dare* you 🌊 #redbull #givesyouwiiings #wave #nazare #surfing #bigwave #portugal #surftok #facts ♬ original sound - Red Bull Hotjar sets this cookie to identify a new user’s first session.

The Delhi High Court dismissed Red Bull’s application by relying primarily on the ingredients that constitute a successful injunction stating that Red Bull had failed to establish prima facie case in its favour, that both taglines were descriptive and laudatory in nature and that the balance of convenience was in favour of Pepsi as their products were already being sold for almost five years prior to the filing of the plaintiff’s case.On 20 January 1993, Yangcheng Tonic Factory registered the trademark WANG LAO JI for a herbal tea that it produced and sold in a green container labelled with traditional calligraphy (Figure 2). Both the Beijing High Court (on 25 November 2019) and the SPC on appeal (on 21 December 2020) rejected Red Bull China's arguments and claims. By the way, Red Bull wasn't the only brand that was dragged to the court in such a false advertisement case. New Balance was similarly sued in 2011 for falsely claiming that its toning shoes burnt calories, Dabur was sued in 2017 for the deceptive advertisement of its tal oil doing "dugni tezi se sharirik vikas", L'Oreal was sued in 2014 for misleading customers that its skincare products were "clinically proven" to cause "visibly younger skin in just 7 days", and there were many other such instances.

And what did Red Bull plan to achieve, you ask? See, Red Bull's niche target market is the youth, and the youth wants mystery and vigour in all endeavours. Therefore, in a bid to entice the youth, they came up with this brilliant ad. As intended, the plane took off and the result... Red Bull became the most consumed energy drink in the world.The application was an attempt to restrain PepsiCo from using the tagline “STIMULATES MIND. ENERGIZES BODY.” in relation to Pepsi’s energy drink “STING”, which according to Red Bull was deceptively similar to their aforesaid trademarked tagline. By the way, if you're aware, you would have known that Red Bull has been famous (or infamous, depends) for its widely popular advertisement -- "Red Bull gives you wings." And that's our matter of discussion today. The advertisement - a metaphor or a deception?

While Redbull’s marketing strategy for social media relies heavily on video content, as mentioned earlier, whether or not this was the smartest move is to be determined by looking at data. All in all, the numbers can indicate the more successful social media strategy only up to some extent. Throughout the brand’s many years of existence, through all its marketing and communication endeavors, Red Bull tried to position itself as a visionary, fresh and energetic brand. Which is highly desirable for a business in the energy drink industry, right?In August 1997, Yangcheng Tonic Factory assigned the WANG LAO JI trademark to Guangzhou Pharmaceutical Holding (GPH), which continued the production and sale of the herbal tea in the green container. With such a 360 video content strategy, Red Bull is sure to get on the radar of every platform's audience, gaining huge visibility. Now, both companies, GPH and JDB, were using their own trademark, WANG LAO JI and JIA BU DUO, respectively, but on the same red can container (Figure 4). This argument was, of course, groundless, but precise wording in the joint venture agreement would have avoided the litigation altogether.
