A well-known trademark is just like a magnet, in that the goodwill associated with it attracts a lot of people who want to exploit it for their own interests. Of course, this use is done on bad faith as their main purpose is to mislead consumers and create the wrong perception.
This was precisely what Vincent Siswanto did. Mr. Siswanto is a local businessman from Kembangan, West Jakarta, whose core business is electronic goods. It appears that the name High Tech Computer (HTC), owned by HTC Corporation, a well-known manufacturer of telecommunication goods from Taiwan, proved to be too much of a draw for him, and led him to begin using the HTC trademark on his products. Not only was he using the HTC trademark but he also wanted to legally own it. Thus he filed a trademark application for HTC in class 09 under his name.
