A rural supermarket in Henan was sued by everyone for trademark infringement. Why did the boss do this? After registration, the enterprise has the exclusive right to use the trademark. Once used by others, it is infringement. The owner of this supermarket said that Renrenle supermarket chain is headquartered in Shenzhen, and her supermarket is in a small village 0/2 km away from the county seat/Kloc. She doesn't know? Everybody happy? This name has already been registered. The boss also said that she bought the supermarket from someone else and the signboard has not changed. After the divorce, she had to raise two children, and the other party sued 50 thousand, which was too much.
Legally speaking, should the supermarket owner compensate? Legally speaking, everyone is happy? Have the right to claim compensation, and the supermarket owner should pay compensation. But from a practical point of view, the boss's supermarket was established long before everyone registered the trademark. The area where the supermarket is located is very remote, and I don't know much about the legal knowledge of trademark exclusive right. Besides, the boss has never used it himself. Everybody happy? Trademark publicity. If the boss can provide evidence to prove that she used the Renrenle signboard before the trademark registration, then she won't have to bear huge compensation.
I don't think there is any problem with this complaint from Renren Music Group, but according to this incident and the real situation of the owner, the owner can negotiate with Renren Music Group and make a small amount of compensation, because the owner didn't mean to infringe his reputation, and he didn't know there was a group called Renren Music. This shop has been open for 18 years. Whether or not to compensate and how much to compensate depends on the attitude of Renrenle Group.
Should Renrenle Group drop the lawsuit? In theory, even if the lawsuit is not withdrawn, it is reasonable, because this is a normal way to safeguard rights. However, according to the facts and the owner's situation, the lawsuit can be withdrawn after consultation, which is beneficial to both parties.
