The Shanghai No. 1 Intermediate People's Court yesterday ordered Shenzhen Shangling Elevator Co Ltd to pay 300,000 yuan (US$36,145) in compensation and make a public apology to Shanghai Mitsubishi Elevator Co Ltd for trademark violations and unfair competition.

　　Shenzhen Shangling, which is unrelated to Shanghai Mitsubishi, had sold elevators in the name of the Shanghai company since 1998. The package of the Tailing elevators sold by the Shenzhen company, had a printed Mitsubishi trademark and its company name. The Shenzhen company also provided false quality certificates to users.
