Jaguar Land Rover is suing Chinese automaker Jiangling Motor for allegedly copying the British firm's Range Rover Evoque
yeezy boost 350 oxford tan uk , a person with direct knowledge of the matter said: a rare move by a foreign automaker to fight copycats in the world's biggest autos market.
A spokesman for JLR, owned by India's Tata Motors , said in brief emailed comments to Reuters that a court in Beijing's eastern Chaoyang district ""served Jiangling with newly filed actions surrounding copyright and unfair competition."" He declined to elaborate.
The suit relates to Jiangling's Landwind X7 sport utility vehicle copying the design of the Evoque, JLR's first China-made model that went on sale last year, said the person with knowledge of the legal proceedings, who is not authorized to talk to the media and didn't want to be named.
A spokesman for Landwind declined to comment.
If JLR wins its case, it could prompt other automakers to also take legal action, said Chen Jihong, a Beijing-based lawyer at Zhong Lun Law Firm, speeding up a shift to stronger enforcement of intellectual property rights.
CLOSE RESEMBLANCE
Landwind unveiled a new version of its X7 SUV in November 2014, drawing criticism for its striking likeness to the Evoque, an imported version of which was already on sale in China.
The two SUVs have a similar shape

The slight differences between the two cars can be virtually eliminated using widely available kits that allow a Range Rover grille, logo and Land Rover badges to be put on an X7. Kits on Alibaba's Taobao shopping website cost around 128 yuan (£13.39).
The X7 costs around a third of the price of an Evoque, and is some way behind in technology and performance, said Yale Zhang, managing director of Automotive Foresight.
JLR and Jiangling have agreed that Landwind will not sell the X7 in Brazil, the source said, where it recently appointed an importer. The two automakers are also discussing what Landwind can and can't do in any X7 design update, the person said.
JLR sales fell by a fifth in China in January-March of last year - when it launched its China-made Evoque - after rising 36 percent in the same 2014 period. In the same period this year, JLR's China sales rose 19 percent.
A lawsuit could be a long and grueling process.
It took Honda Motor , for example, 12 years to win a case in China against a little-known local automaker - for copying its best-selling CR-V SUV - according to a report by the official Xinhua news agency

Even then, the Japanese firm was awarded only 16 million yuan (US$2.43 million) in compensation. It had sought 300 million yuan.

BEIJING, Sept. 20 (Xinhua) -- The State Council on Wednesday issued a guideline to better protect cultural relics in China.
As spiritual and cultural symbols of Chinese civilization, cultural relics serve as an embodiment of national memory, thus protecting cultural relics is protecting the county's history, according to the guideline.
However, the illegal dealing, storing and auctioning of cultural relics has been frequent in recent years, which shows a lack of supervision and loopholes in protection work, according to the guideline.
The guideline said that governments at all levels should fulfill their duties in the local management and security of cultural relics, and strengthen law enforcement protection.
It said the accountability system for the security of relics needed to improve, and areas related to protection
yeezy boost 350 pirate black uk , including customs, tourism and religious authorities, should work together to crack down on related crime.
Modern science and technology should also play a bigger part in improving the protection of cultural relics, while relevant laws and regulations should be further publicized, the guideline suggested.
The guideline also underlined the need to strengthen supervision of protection work, and to take stronger action against those accountable for the damage, loss or theft of relics.
