It is reasonable for Chayan Yuese to sue Chayan Guanse. Are there other brands that also have unfair competition?

In addition to Cha Yanyuese suing Chayan Guanse, there is also the previous Lepin v. Lego. If Cha Yan Guan Se loses the lawsuit, it will lose more than one million yuan

If Cha Yan Guan Se and Cha Yan Yuese are just similar in name, then Cha Yan Guan Se will most likely not be suspected of infringement. Because there are many brands and companies with similar names in the world. The main reason for losing the lawsuit was not the similarity of names, but plagiarism by modern Chinese tea shops in terms of store decoration, beverage production technology, beverage names, advertisements, etc. This is naked plagiarism and constitutes infringement. Not only that, this is the first time I have seen such bold plagiarism, because it didn’t even redesign the logo. In April 2021, after review and approval by the Guangdong Provincial Supreme Court, it was confirmed that Lepin indeed constituted infringement of Lego and there was also unfair competition.

Require Lepin to stop infringement and compensate Lego 30 million yuan. Speaking of Lego, I believe many people know it. Lego is a famous building block brand in China. Under such circumstances, Lepin caused certain infringements in learning from Lego to develop itself. Lego appealed after discovering this phenomenon. Because it has malicious imitation, it is a kind of unfair competition. Piracy and plagiarism are not long-term solutions

Thinking about plagiarizing Cha Yan Yuese. To be honest, the owner of this brand must think that the brand is very famous and profitable, and he does not want to pay the franchise fee. Bosses with this kind of thinking abound in society, but have you ever thought about it, other people’s success depends on themselves, independent design, and cultural construction. How can you not be held accountable for plagiarism? Woolen cloth? If other people's efforts are not protected by the law, everything will be stolen by these people. In my personal opinion, this fine of more than one million is light.

Because intellectual property rights are priceless, only those who plagiarize and infringe intellectual property rights know the pain involved. For enterprises, imitation is okay, but direct plagiarism means disrespecting intellectual property rights and relying on plagiarism for development rather than healthy long-term development.
