The Ministry of Commerce stated that: Chery has not copied General Spark design


Zhang Zhigang, director of the Office of the State Intellectual Property Protection Working Group and deputy head of the Ministry of Commerce, said this morning that the US General Motors Corporation’s infringement of the exterior design of its SPARK model by China’s Chery QQ model was incapable of identifying Chery in accordance with Chinese laws and evidence provided by the foreign party. The company’s infringement issue cannot be considered as an unfair competition act of Chery’s company. At the press conference held by the Information Office of the State Council, Zhang Zhigang said that even so, the two parties still agreed to contact each other after coordination of relevant departments. It is suggested that both sides resolve disputes through judicial channels and mediation mechanisms. Mr. Zhang Qin, an official of the State Intellectual Property Office, also stated on the same occasion that we are also very concerned about QQ, because it involves the issue of design patents. According to what we know now, GM acquired a design that preceded QQ's design by acquiring a company from South Korea's Daewoo. We found through search that Daewoo's design did not apply for a patent in China. In this sense, according to the laws of China and other countries, this technology does not have patent rights in China and is therefore not protected by law. Zhang Qin also said that unless GM can provide conclusive evidence of what kind of illegal information Chery obtained through SPARK's data, the infringement can only be established. Just based on the appearance of similar does not constitute infringement. Of course, we also hope that GM will provide us with more information and let us further understand the details.

PPGI (Prepainted SteelCoil/Sheet/Strip)

PPGI stands for "Pre-Painted Galvanized Iron", which refers to a type of steel material that has been coated with a layer of paint or other protective coating before being formed into various products, such as roofing sheets, wall panels, and corrugated sheets. The pre-painting process helps to increase the durability and resistance of the steel against corrosion and other environmental factors. PPGI is commonly used in the construction industry for its strength, versatility, and aesthetic appeal.


  • The galvanized coating on PPGI provides excellent resistance to rust and corrosion, which is particularly important in areas with high humidity, salt spray, or industrial pollution.

  • PPGI is available in a wide range of colors and finishes, allowing architects and designers to create customized building facades and roofing systems that match their vision.

  • PPGI is easy to install and requires minimal maintenance. The pre-painted surface does not need to be painted or coated again, which saves time and costs associated with painting.

  • PPGI is lightweight yet strong, making it an ideal material for roofing and cladding applications. It is also highly resistant to impact and fire, which enhances the safety of the building.

  • PPGI can be recycled, which makes it an eco-friendly choice for sustainable construction. The steel can be melted down and reused to create new products, reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills.

Overall, PPGI is a versatile and reliable material that is widely used in the construction industry for its durability, aesthetics, and environmental benefits.
