Product Information

Featuring videos of professional athletes and sports enthusiasts engaged in extreme sports sessions and stunts, Red Bull’s TikTok strategy is entirely centered around the concept of storytelling. @redbull Replying to @user094488082 no doubt we'd have a 5-star rating 🤘 #redbull #givesyouwiiings #f1 #uber #ride ♬ original sound - Red Bull Through its combined marketing campaigns - some more unconventional than others - Red Bull has succeeded in becoming the top-of-mind brand for its core audience - young adults who are looking for an energy boost. Red Bull suffered defeat in a recent trademark case before the Delhi High Court when they attempted to seek an injunction against PepsiCo India and its energy drink “STING” for alleged infringement and passing off. Red Bull’s application was based on the purported deceptive similarity to their tagline “VITALIZES BODY AND MIND”, which is registered in India under Class 32. With Red Bull being such an unconventional brand (as proved by their past publicity stunts), TikTok seems to be the platform that fits like a glove because of its looking-for-authenticity audience. 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?

Red Bull is paying out a settlement to disgruntled customers who believed the popular energy drink would—as its advertising suggests—give them wings.

Canadian energy drinkers who bought a can of Red Bull in the last 12 years could be entitled to ten dollars as a result of a class action settlement.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. A cookie set by YouTube to measure bandwidth that determines whether the user gets the new or old player interface. You see, there is a very thin line separating clever and notorious. And the same works for marketing as well. A clever deceptive marketing tactic may enable a brand to take off, but in the end, if customers catch it, you won't be spared! Because ultimately, the customer is the only real boss. And as Milton Hershey quotes -- Apart from being about soft drinks, the Wang Lao Ji and Red Bull cases share an important commonality: the plaintiff, the ex-licensee, claimed that even if the licence was terminated, the success of the brand was due to its efforts and should, therefore, be rewarded. If the parties had truly intended for the Red Bull trademark to be part of the assets of the joint venture, they should have specified that the registered capital was to be constituted – in addition to cash – by a certain value attributed to the trademark. In the absence of such precision, the simple terms "provide the trademark" could not be deemed to be a formal definition of capital contribution.

Moreover, every single video posted on a specific platform is very well adapted to that specific network's audience and style. In both cases, when the trademark licence agreement was terminated, the licensees argued that they should have the right to continue using the trademark, since they had contributed to the value of the business in China throughout the duration of the contract. Both the Guangdong High Court in the Wang Lao Ji case, and the Beijing High Court and the SPC in the Red Bull case, gave the same reasoning: the goodwill attached to the trademark, which may have considerably increased through the implementation of the licence agreement, cannot be separated from the ownership of the trademark. Therefore, once the licence is terminated, all the value remains with the trademark owner and no compensation is due. The message to practitioners is ultimately the same as for the Red Bull case: carefully draft contract clauses to avoid litigation. 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).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? Judging by the numbers, it seems that in TikTok's case as well, Red Bull's marketing strategy has the upper hand against Monster Energy's from multiple KPI perspectives, from generating more engagement and plays to a higher following. 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. 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. JDB proceeded to register and use a different Chinese trademark, JIA DUO BAO, and sell the herbal tea under the JIA DUO BAO trademark affixed on the red can.

Benjamin Careathers got no chill! Yes, that's our man. He, joined by others later, filed a case against Red Bull in 2013.Despite reports to the contrary, the company has not stopped using "Red Bull gives you wings" as its slogan. From a glance, it would appear the only differentiator between the brand’s Reels and its TikTok videos lies in the scenes and situations depicted. 3. Red Bull and its YouTube Shorts 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. Given that trademark ownership remains with the licensor at the end of a licence agreement, it is highly recommended to stipulate in the agreement whether the licensor and/or the licensee shall bear the cost of advertisements and promotion and which party will benefit from such promotion. This will prevent the licensee from requesting compensation and claiming that the trademark has gained value as a result of its own effort. 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.
