1. More than 50 Hu spicy soup restaurants use the three-character "Xiaoyao Town" defendant

Recently, the three characters "Xiaoyao Town" have been withheld from many store door numbers. The reason for the matter is that the more than 50 hot and spicy soup restaurants in Jiaozuo City did not have the permission of the hot and spicy soup association in Xiaoyao Town, Xihua County, and they used the trademark "Xiaoyao Town" without authorization. These stores that use "Xiaoyao Town" have received court summons in the past few days, saying that they have to pay compensation for infringement. This makes them feel very baffled. Why are their stores being sued if they are well-run? In fact, As early as 2003, the Hu Spicy Soup Association of Xiaoyao Town, Xihua County had registered the trademark "Xiaoyao Town".

Second, the Hu Spicy Soup Association of Xiaoyao Town, Xihua County responded

< p>In the past few years, they did not manage the misuse of the characters "Xiaoyao Town" and "Three" in Hu spicy soup restaurants, which resulted in many stores using this name as a trademark. This operation resulted in the loss of their trademark interests. , all of them will defend their rights in a unified manner from now on. If merchants want to continue using this brand, they have to pay a membership fee of 1,000 yuan a year, or else they have to pay compensation of 30,000 to 50,000 yuan.

Three, what do you think of this matter?

I think the Hu Spicy Soup Association in Xiaoyao Town, Xihua County just wants to cut leeks. This practice is very unethical. Nowadays The main reason why Xiaoyao Town Hu Hot Soup is famous is because there are such stores using this name at the same time, which has a publicity effect for it. If these stores did not exist, I am afraid not many people would know about it. Xiaoyao Town Spicy Soup, now that they are famous, should not sue them. This would be difficult for anyone to accept. Now you need to pay to use it, so many stores simply deduct these three words. They can continue doing business even if they don't use these three words. In my opinion, one of the main reasons why a store is not popular is whether the food inside is delicious. ?
