That is, through China Trademark Network, we can inquire about 35 categories of trademark registration, 4 1 category and 43 categories, and inquire whether the brand of the other company is registered. If the other party has not registered or registered the trademark, go directly to the court and ask the other party for a full refund. You should know that the other party must have a trademark to do it, otherwise it is fraud. In this case, 100% can win.
Of course, if the other party has formal qualifications, relevant joining rules and a clear quotation, you may need to negotiate with the other party. If negotiation fails, it is estimated that your 20 thousand yuan is more likely to be wasted. Because joining is like this, joining hot pot here in Chengdu is generally 30W-50W. Obviously, you are joining a small brand, or even an organization without brand awareness. Most franchisees make money by supplying materials later, which is called "material control" in the jargon. What you don't know is that the advertising fee for entering the business is old and expensive. It is estimated that in order to recruit you, that yuan is only enough for advertising fees and employee salaries.
I think you can try to solve the problem through legal channels, but the other party must also have legal counsel. There must be no loopholes in the law when doing things. Moreover, the process of litigation is very long, which requires all kinds of evidence collection and notarization by the notary office (notarization is charged). There is no year or two when you can't get your money back. And if you consult a lawyer's lawyer's fee, it is estimated that you will give up, which is not cheap. Therefore, many people generally forget this 20,000-30,000 lawsuit. For vulnerable groups, it is difficult to decide whether to win or lose, which is very laborious. It's better to take time to re-do a project.
I suggest that if you want to start a business and make hot pot, you can go to a professional institution (such as Sichuan cuisine training center) to learn hot pot technology. Tuition is only a few thousand dollars. The technology of rotating hot pot is the same as that of training institutions, but the equipment is different.
