Research background

WIRTGEN, a globally recognized automotive parts brand, has its rock bit seat products widely used in the construction machinery sector. As China's market importance continues to grow, the brand needs to establish legal recognition of its brand uniqueness to address potential infringement risks and strengthen its market position. To this end, WIRTGEN automotive parts manufacturer, in collaboration with its legal counsel, Qilie Law Firm, has commissioned a market research study to scientifically assess the brand's awareness and distinctiveness, which will serve as credible evidence in future legal protection actions.

Research scope

In 2019, CEIDEA Research was commissioned jointly by the WIRTGEN automotive parts manufacturer and Qilie Law Firm to conduct on-site field research during the Shanghai BAUMA International Construction Machinery Exhibition. The study focused on engineering equipment procurement officers, machinery manufacturers, construction company representatives, and industry professionals among the exhibition attendees. Using a fixed-point intercept survey method, questionnaires were distributed to collect key insights on respondents' understanding of the functional characteristics, brand recall, sources of market awareness, and recognition of WIRTGEN's brand uniqueness regarding rock bit seat products. The research covered diverse geographic regions and industry segments to ensure broad representation and sample validity, ultimately producing a data analysis report with significant legal reference value.

Expected outcomes

The research findings will serve as a key basis for the legal recognition of WIRTGEN's brand uniqueness in the Chinese market. By systematically analyzing users' brand awareness pathways and market perception levels, the report will provide professional third-party support to Qilie Law Firm in handling related intellectual property matters. Beyond reinforcing WIRTGEN's brand ownership and market legitimacy, the results will also offer data-driven insights and strategic recommendations for future market defense strategies, legal enforcement actions, and brand communication initiatives.
