Haidilao’s infringement lawsuit against Hedilao was dismissed. Have you heard of the brand Hedilao?

Haidilao’s lawsuit against Helilao for infringement was rejected. The brand Helilao also became well-known after Haidilao. Anyway, it increased the popularity of Helilao.

Haidilao is already very familiar to everyone. Even if some people have never been there, they must have heard of it. It can be said that there is a reason why Haidilao is so popular. Its service is very appropriate, and its interior The food is also very delicious, and some facilities are really complete. Therefore, as Haidilao comes into the public eye, many people have begun to imitate it. Recently, a store called Hedilao appeared. Haidilao felt that Hedilao imitated its name, so it was very dissatisfied and would definitely sue it for infringement.

However, during the judgment process, the court did not determine that Hedi Lao infringed, but believed that the two names were actually two different brands. In fact, it is true. Hedi Lao is just an ordinary restaurant, not a hot pot restaurant. If it was an infringement, then one store would definitely cause losses to the other store, but Hedi Lao did not. Moreover, the decoration inside Hedi Lao is different from other restaurants, especially the font logo design. So in fact, there is no infringement in Hedi Lao, it’s just that the names are similar.

Many hotels in the world have similar names, or even duplicate names, so there is no need to investigate so many. After all, everyone may not know whether there are duplicate names. Hedi Lao may be trying to imitate Hai Di Lao to gain some fame, but it is only similar in name and other places are completely different. Therefore, it did not cause any losses to Haidilao, a hot pot restaurant.

However, although Hedi Lao is an idea, if it is really turned into a hot pot restaurant, it will definitely not work. Therefore, for those who want to open a restaurant or hot pot restaurant, they must find a suitable name for themselves, do not plagiarize, and be creative. Blindly imitating is useless. Especially for some large catering industries, infringement will never be allowed.
