AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)07/28 Report--

The verdict of first instance was found in the case in which NIO sued Douyin Da V "Automobile discipline" claim for 2 million yuan.

Today, the legal Department of NIO said in a post on its official Weibo that it had received a judgment of first instance from the court that Che Shiji, one of the online accounts controlled by Shanghai ladder Information Technology Co., Ltd., had been placed at the top for 30 days in a row and issued an apology to NIO, while compensating NIO for economic losses of RMB 300000 within 10 days after the judgment came into effect.

According to the verdict issued by the NIO legal Department, the court held that when comparing the tort video released by the vehicle discipline in China with the same model in Norway, the price of the same model in Norway did not match that announced by the NIO official. The data are not true. Failing to explain the fact that domestic prices include value-added tax, Norway does not include value-added tax, and domestic car purchases enjoy subsidies, it is wrong to fail to report relevant information, so that ordinary netizens who do not know about it can get a wrong understanding on this basis. Under the background of the fact that the prices of domestic and Norwegian models have been raised simultaneously, it declares that "(NIO) can't wait to reduce prices in overseas markets" and that the information released is unaudited and untrue, and there are obvious mistakes. Deliberately distort the normal business behavior as malicious deception for profit, when comparing the selling prices of ES8 in China and Norway, we do not clearly compare the vehicle conditions, confuse the models and the corresponding prices, give the model prices without authenticity, conceal the true information affecting the price factors, artificially exaggerate the profit gap between ES8 and Norway, release the authenticity of the information, distort the facts, and mislead ordinary netizens. There is subjective fault, and its illegal behavior brings damage to the commercial reputation and commodity reputation of Fulai.

In addition, NIO also said: according to incomplete statistics, related infringing videos and topics have been forwarded, commented and liked more than a million times, and they are still spreading and fermenting on the Internet. Before the lawsuit, we tried to communicate with the infringer Shanghai ladder for several rounds, asking him to clarify and apologize, but he always refused to release a positive clarification video while admitting that the content was inaccurate. Its staff even directly admitted in the communication that the release of the infringing video was to create a conflicting effect. For this kind of illegal infringement that distorts the facts and infringes upon the legitimate rights and interests of users, NIO will continue to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of NIO and users through legal means, and safeguard the healthy development and legal dignity of the industry.

It is worth noting that on May 8, NIO Motor opened the legal Department of NIO on Weibo, and its first blog post said that it would respond to malicious attacks on NIO and NIO users on the Internet. Negative comments on the water army and other information, through litigation and other means to protect their legitimate rights and interests.

In this blog post, Xilai Motors specifically pointed out that Auto Shiji and its operator, Shanghai ladder Information Technology Co., Ltd., deliberately made false remarks and misled the public by comparing the price of foreign models without batteries with the price of the whole car with batteries in its video. And use to incite national sentiment, slander Lai, step on a handful of ways to carry out malicious hype. In response to the hype, NIO has filed a lawsuit demanding an apology and compensation of 2 million yuan. In addition, officials also said that in the course of the lawsuit, Auto Shiji continued to maliciously release videos that distort the facts and mislead the public through its account. In this regard, evidence has been obtained and a letter from a lawyer has been sent to him asking for deletion and apology.

Event Review: on June 2, 2022, Douyin V "Automobile Ji" released a post entitled "BYD and NIO, who is cutting leeks?" In the video, it said: "NIO is very interesting. The price of ES8 is 47-630000 in China. How much is it when exported to Norway?" Equivalent to RMB 41-460000. " NIO filed a lawsuit against the "Automobile discipline" account over the video. At present, the video content can no longer be viewed.

As for NIO's lawsuit, Che Shiji said in a video posted on Douyin that he did not think there was any act of spreading rumors and had been actively responding to the lawsuit. This time, there is no response from the "vehicle discipline" to the verdict of the first instance issued by the NIO legal Department. The auto industry is focused on the "Automobile discipline" Douyin platform and has yet to see a statement of apology.

Relevant data show that Cashi's personal certification on Douyin platform is a senior creator in the automotive field and won the award of Douyin's Light of creation of the year. As of press time, the Douyin platform had 6.599 million followers and 98.289 million likes.
