After the incident, Mr. Yuan said that they had been trying to contact Ryan, hoping to solve the problem through communication, but there was no response. Because of the hard work and seriousness of their early work, they feel helpless and angry about plagiarism.
Weibo data of Huofengxiang Hotpot shows that its operator is Huofengxiang (Ningbo) Brand Management Co., Ltd. 。
The company was established in May 2020 with a registered capital of 5 million yuan, which is controlled by five shareholders. Among them, natural person Zhang Song holds 55% of the shares, making him the largest shareholder; One of the shareholders is Shanghai Huanshuo Enterprise Management Center (Limited Partnership), holding10%; Ryan is the controlling shareholder of Shanghai Huanshuo Enterprise Management Center (Limited Partnership), with a shareholding ratio of 70%.
In other words, Ryan's shareholding ratio is less than 10%. Although there are few shares, Ryan's star effect is not small.
However, as soon as the front foot was opened, the back foot was copied. The network is surging, and some netizens say that plagiarism cannot be encouraged, and stars should set an example; Some netizens helped Ryan wash white, saying that he should not be sensible, but he was cheated by the restaurant design company.
Ryan finally responded: If there is any infringement, it will be corrected immediately. At present, the company has communicated and investigated with professional legal persons, industry designers and relevant institutions.
It is reported that in order to protect the team's efforts, Houtang Hotpot has applied for two works registration certificates to protect the intellectual property rights of Houtang Hotpot's plane and virtual application, product design, interior decoration design and soft decoration design respectively. If Huo Fengxiang uses these contents, it will constitute infringement.
This matter is not only a question of celebrity effect, but also a bigger question of intellectual property rights. Everyone should know the relevant legal knowledge in daily life and learn to use the law to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests.
