Frisbee is a leisure sport in Xian Yi, young and old. It’s wonderful to watch the Frisbee thrown by you spin in the air, draw a beautiful arc and then fall into the hands of your companions smoothly. In English, Frisbee is called “Frisbee”, but many sellers may not know that the English name of Frisbee has already been patented, so it can’t be used at will. As early as 2018, the brand initiated a lawsuit. A case involved more than 1,000 sellers in China, and the infringement was caused by the seller’s use of the common name Frisbee Frisbee. Therefore, Mai Jia supports reminding the sellers not to use the English name easily, and at the same time, pay more attention to the cases that are extremely infringing. If you have any questions, please consult!

brand introduction
Frisbee Frisbee, also known as flying saucer, was invented in the United States in 1946 and has been listed as an official event of the 2001 World Games (an international competition for non-Olympic events).
In the 19th century, there was a baker named William Russell Frisbie in America. He founded a pie company and named it after himself. This is Frisbie Pie Company. According to legend, the pies in this shop are very popular with students at Yale University. Soon, the university dormitory was full of metal boxes of Frisbie Pie. Clever students found that if these dish-shaped packaging boxes were thrown into the air and rotated, they could fly smoothly in the air. Because these boxes are made of metal, in order to avoid injury, the thrower will shout “Frisbie!” ” To remind people who are ready to pick up. Therefore, this new sport is called “Frisbie”.
A few years later, savvy merchants saw that the sport became popular gradually, and began to produce plastic disc-shaped Frisbee, and named their products “Frisbee”, which has been used ever since. It is said that the number of frisbee sold every year is more than the total number of football, baseball and basketball sold. Frisbee can be regarded as the most “great” invention of Yale University.
