Legal issues for brand discount stores

Supplementary answer:

1. Haha, your supplementary comment is interesting, but it is not a question of whether to avoid it or not. Breaking the law is already certain, and you cannot avoid it if you want to. , maybe you mean avoidance, like reasonable tax avoidance under private international law?

2. I think it is currently unavoidable, maybe I just didn’t expect it? Looking forward to the expert's answer with you.

3. "I think what I opened is not a specialty store, but a discount store. And there are many brands of leather shoes. Can I legally avoid prosecution?": The discount store sells genuine products, too. You should obtain the permission of the brand owner; having multiple brands does not mean you can sell without permission. In fact, the key to the problem lies in the legality of your loan channels, which cannot be avoided.

4. I have seen this kind of store, which is a brand discount store for clothing, but its purchase channel is formal and does not require a franchise or franchise from the brand owner. What I mean is that the illegal nature is certain, but if the business scale is not large and the impact is not too great, there is a possibility of getting into trouble, but not big.

1. What you mean is very obvious. The manufacturer directly transfers the brand shoes to you for sale without the consent of the brand owner. If you look at the "Trademark Law", you can understand that the legal seller of brand shoes is The sales channel should be approved by the brand owner, otherwise it will infringe the registered trademark rights of others. In your case, is this right?

2. Of course, if the brand owner allows the manufacturer to resell it, it will be legal for you to purchase the goods from the big manufacturer, and there will be no risk of infringement.

3. In fact, this kind of thing is not uncommon in real life. If what you do is not too big, too conspicuous, and too profitable, it is unlikely that the brand will know about your infringement. There is a possibility of pursuing you, but it won’t be too great. After all, with your small business, the possibility of affecting or even threatening the brand owners’ operations is almost slim.

However, in any case, this does not change the infringement nature of your behavior.

4. As for "Will the brand owner come to trouble me?": It is impossible to predict whether the brand owner will know about your infringement, how long it will take to know it, and whether the brand owner will come to trouble you after knowing it. The brand owner only makes the decision after knowing that you are selling goods with their trademark without permission. How does the brand decide? How can outsiders make guesses?
