優客工場回應遭 WeWork 起訴事件：我們沒有商標侵權

9 月 13 日，眾創空間服務 WeWork 在美國對中國公司優客工場提起訴訟，稱該公司侵犯其商標權。今日稍晚些時候，優客工場做出回應，聲明優客工場 URwork 商標並不存在任何對 wework 商標的侵權行為和事實。

以下為優客工場聲明全文：

日前，我們關注到，有媒體報道，美國共享辦公企業 wework 在英國對本公司擁有、使用的優客工場 URwork 商標提出異議。對此，我司高度重視，並立即與相關業務部門就各項商標註冊流程、進度及法律文件等進行逐一核查。我司經核查後認為，優客工場 URwork 商標並不存在任何對 wework 商標的侵權行為和事實。

我司特作如下幾點說明，以澄擾喧：

一、我司依法取得併合法使用優客工場（URwork）商標、品牌、標識及其附加權益，已有兩年多。我們也將盡一切努力捍衛法律賦予自己的應有權利。

二、優客工場 URwork，所闡釋的是一種對於聯合辦公的理解，其對應的業務是共享辦公，及其圍繞共享辦公構建的服務體系。URwork 的核心在於「UR」，work 則是開放性的公眾辭彙，意為「工作」等。任何機構、企業或個人，均不享有對 work 或工作這一公眾概念、名稱的獨佔權，遑論以此為名發起專利戰。任何公司包括 wework 公司在內，指認我司商標侵權的判斷，既無任何法律依據，也與通識相違背。

三、優客工場 URwork 應中國「創新創業」而生，是共享經濟的知名代表。短短兩年多，優客工場 URwork 迅速成為共享辦公領域的知名商標和品牌，在廣大創新創業者、投資機構、媒體行業等中間都樹立了良好的品牌形象，形成了完全獨立的認知識別體系，其估值也體現了市場的真實認可。並受到所有拓展區域政府部門的歡迎。我司無意也沒有必要通過侵犯 wework 商標的方式獲取利益。但與此同時，我司也不願意看到其他機構、企業和個人，假借優客工場 URwork 業已呈現的影響力，尋求實現其商業目的。

我國共享辦公雖處於發展初期，但已表現出蓬勃的熱度和廣闊的市場前景。優客工場將排除干擾，按照既有戰略規劃，秉承行業良性發展、共同開拓國內和國際市場的原則，延伸服務鏈條，進一步構建圍繞創新創業與共生的共享辦公生態體系。同時也歡迎來自同行及國內外媒體朋友們的嚴格監督，共同推動行業健康良性競爭、專業高效服務。
