The Mi MIX series may undergo a massive change by the time Xiaomi unveils the fourth-generation model later this year.
Apparently, a Beijing court has ruled against Xiaomi’s use of the MIX name as it is a trademark infringement. Apparently, another company trademarked the name “MIX” as far back as November 23, 2014, before Xiaomi’s trademark application on November 14, 2016.
The case was picked up by the court on March 4, 2019, after Xiaomi refused to respond to the trademark dispute. A panel was formed according to the law and it was agreed that Xiaomi doesn’t have a claim to the trademark based on Article 69 of the Administrative Law of the People’s Republic of China.
Based on the judgment, Xiaomi will not be able to use the MIX name for any of its future devices. However, there is a possibility Xiaomi may reach an agreement with the company that owns the trademark, so it may continue to use it for its device.
According to the source, Xiaomi hasn’t released any statements regarding the matter.
The Xiaomi Mi MIX 4 is expected to come with a Snapdragon 855 Plus, a 108MP primary camera made by Samsung, and reverse wireless charging
