Disney issues warning on IPR against Wanda 迪士尼就知识产权向万达发出警告

The Walt Disney Co said it is prepared to take action to protect its intellectual property rights after performers dressed as Snow White and Captain America appeared at Dalian Wanda Group Co's new theme park in China.

在中国的大连万达集团的新主题公园，表演者装扮成了白雪公主以及美国队长，这致使迪士尼公司准备采取行动来保护自己的知识产权。

Wanda opened its first outdoor entertainment complex in Nanchang, Jiangxi province in eastern China on Saturday, one of its seven planned parks as Shanghai Disney is set to open on June 16.

Other performers, including one bearing a strong resemblance to Kung Fu Panda, were also featured at the park.

万达上周六在中国东部江西省南昌市开设了首家户外娱乐中心，七个规划园区之一的上海迪士尼将于6月16日正式对外开放。其它表演者，包括一个轴承形状很像功夫熊猫的表演者也将亮相在这个公园里。

In a statement about IP protection, Disney said: "We vigorously protect our intellectual property and take action to address infringement."

在一份关于知识产权保护的声明中，迪士尼表示：“我们积极保护我们的知识产权并采取行动来解决侵权问题。

Disney's characters and trademarks have been widely used in the country. In October last year, the State Administration for Industry and Commerce issued a circular on a crackdown on the infringement of Disney trademarks across the country from October 2015 to October 2016.

迪士尼的人物形象和商标已经在全世界范围内被广泛使用。在去年十月份，国家行政工商管理局就迪士尼在世界范围内从2015年10月到2016年10月的商标侵权问题的镇压发出通知。

"Our characters and stories have delighted generations, these illegal and substandard imitations unfortunately disappoint all who expect more," Disney said in its statement.

迪士尼在其声明中表示:”我们的人物和故事取悦了数代人，但是这些非法的和不合格的模仿让那些对我们有更多期待的人们更加失望。

Wanda said in a reply to China Daily that the non-Wanda characters were operated by individual stores within Wanda Mall. They do not represent Wanda.

万达在对中国日报的回复中表示那些非万达形象是由个人在万达广场制造出来的。他们不代表万达。

Wanda's top management have also been bullish, insisting its venues will beat Disney hands down in terms of visitor numbers and total revenue once it has rolled out what could eventually be as many as 20 Wanda Cities nationwide by 2020.

万达的高层管理人员情绪也很高涨，坚称到2020年全国将会有20多个万达城市，其场馆数量将击败迪士尼的游客数量和总收入。
