Chapter 29: Retribution
"With my current prestige in the circle, it is unrealistic to directly convince the big-name giants to trust me, let me do any comprehensive legal layout, or pay a lot of money to find me business information. Just let the barristers of Allsky Partners eat once, and the signboard is far from hard enough.
So my next step was to change to a specific category, and to repeat the layout of the 'left and right, self-directed and self-acting' type, so that the whole circle would officially recognize me. ”
Feng Jianxiong drank plum wine and talked eloquently about his general thoughts.
As a superficial newcomer to the legal circle, he wants to directly take on those top big cases with a value of hundreds of millions and tens of millions of litigation costs, but the problem is that no client is willing to take this risk. Therefore, the case must still have to be made by itself.
Of course, compared with the self-directed and self-acting that has no social benefits at all, Feng Jianxiong's second phase of what he wants to do, although he will also take advantage of the loopholes of the law, the purpose or motivation to be achieved in the end is at least good. From that point of view, he also improved a little bit in each game.
Zhou Tianyin listened to this general idea, and was suddenly slightly disappointed: "Is it still a self-directed and self-acting lawsuit? So roughly what is it?"
She was born in an official family, and in the final analysis, she doesn't like men who stand on the opposite side of the government to take advantage. The reason why Feng Jianxiong's attitude changed before was actually the butterfly effect brought by Shi Nicole -
If it weren't for the fact that Shi Nike was too aggressive at the beginning, and sued several developers behind it at the same time, it was actually the same engineering project, which caused the developer to revoke Feng Jianxiong's first two porcelain patents.
Then, Feng Jianxiong may continue to do this business himself for another year or two, instead of throwing it to Jin Chengyi at one time after laying out the situation like now, and by the way, he will publish a paper in the "Legal Research" to teach the State Intellectual Property Administration how to plug the leakage.
In other words, the trade-off of "giving up a little bit of global long-term monetary interests in exchange for some fame" at that time was a mistake made by Shi Nicole that forced Feng Jianxiong to adjust it like this.
And if Feng Jianxiong had not adjusted and always behaved like "only seeking profit and not fame", then Zhou Tianyin might still continue to treat Feng Jianxiong as a passerby today.
It was Feng Jianxiong's guidance on "Legal Research" that subtly pulled Zhou Tianyin's favor over, making the young lady mistakenly think that Feng Jianxiong was a guy who "broke his heart for the improvement of the country's legal system, and would rather give up some money-making opportunities than worry about the country and the people".
As the daughter of a senior judge, in Zhou Tianyin's three views, such a talented and virtuous boy is perfect.
It is precisely because the expectations for Feng Jianxiong just now are already very high, when Feng Jianxiong said that his second step plan is still related to "self-directed and self-acting", Zhou Tianyin's loss gap will be so obvious.
"Forget it, let's take a look again, maybe Xiaoxiong is still worried about the country and the people this time, and after personally experimenting with the new model once or twice, he will go to "Legal Research" to publish a paper to expose this business model and plug the leaks for the national legislative department. That's a good thing. Zhou Tianyin said to himself in his heart, and unconsciously exonerated Feng Jianxiong.
"Trademarks, my next 'self-directed' business plan, was originally intended to be in the field of trademarks. While the young lady was still thinking nonsense, Feng Jianxiong took the opportunity to reveal the specific answer,
"You know, I'm familiar with the field of intellectual property law, and in intellectual property circles, it's nothing more than trademarks, patents, and copyrights. The patented porcelain has been touched, and the rabbit does not eat the grass on the edge of the nest, and the copyright and software copyright are either unprofitable or controlled by the top giants.
Only trademark rights must be maintained regardless of the size of the company, and some 'small but beautiful' companies can be found to cooperate with relatively small but well-known in specific circles. ”
Zhou Tianyin and the other two girls were silent, and after thinking for a while, they seemed to have an understanding, but in fact they didn't scratch their heads at all.
Shi Nike and Feng Jianxiong have been the longest and are familiar with business, so she asked curiously: "Brother Xiong, didn't you just say, 'After today's incident, you have a better idea', could it be that your plan can be combined with the guy who is making trouble for you today?"
The "trouble-seeking guy" mentioned by Shi Nicole was naturally clear to everyone present, referring to Deng Changchun, who was looking for a scolding in China Merchants Bank just now. But it's hard for everyone to imagine that for the kind of person who only has one side, how can Feng Jianxiong make money while blocking the other party?
Feng Jianxiong said cautiously: "It depends on the situation, I haven't understood what the other party does, what competitors there are, whether there is any trademark infringement by others or his potential infringement of others, how can I rashly draw conclusions?"
Zhou Tianyin nodded, took over the conversation and thought about it: "I heard that person claim to be 'Longsheng Food, Deng Changchun' just now, and then when I took advantage of his collapse, I saw that the person from the bank took that person's business card in order to contact his relatives and friends, which should be an enterprise in this city." Do you want to find out what he does?"
Feng Jianxiong smiled noncommittally: "Can you find it? on the Internet? I checked it myself." ”
Zhou Tianyin had an expression of "then you underestimate me too much", and smiled: "You don't need to go online, I'll just call my mother's friend and ask - their tax bureau, what can't be found by the enterprises in this city?"
Feng Jianxiong patted his head, and said in his heart that he forgot that this girl has a tax bureau at home, which is more convenient.
They originally came for dinner early, and now it's not time to get off work outside, so they don't want to disturb others' rest. Zhou Tianyin was not polite, and it took a few minutes to retrieve a large amount of information and send it to her own mailbox.
Feng Jianxiong didn't care about reading it again, and then thought about it to see if his original plan could be applied to this line.
"This Deng Changchun is the owner of a company called 'Wuyue Longsheng Food', originally worked in Dongou, well, and later moved the company to Qiantang, the provincial capital, in order to get rid of the suspicion of selling counterfeit and shoddy products. At present, the main products are seafood pickles and other pickled flavor foods......"
Seeing that the other party was born in Dongou to sell seafood, Feng Jianxiong was suddenly a little lost, this kind of brand awareness is very indifferent, and there is no awesome brand in China worthy of imitation.
He spent several more minutes looking down, feeling more and more that this man did not seem to help him in his plan, until he saw the end, and his heart suddenly moved:
"The company under this guy's name actually sells 'dried seafood with the flavor of a godmother'? Is it something like spicy canned food? There are also some trademarks under his name, including 'seafood godmother' and 'old aunt'?"
Shi Nicole listened to it and seemed to think of Feng Jianxiong's focus.
And Feng Yiji and Zhou Tianyin don't understand the law, and they don't eat spicy food, so they haven't reacted for a while: "Is there anything wrong with this?"
Feng Jianxiong explained: "Don't you know that Qiangui Province has a famous trademark in the province, called 'L Gan Ma'? ”
The hot sauce brand in 06 was not so famous, and there was not much e-commerce and overseas publicity for hot sauce, so the people of a few spicy provinces knew more about these brands - it was for this reason that there were almost no "national well-known trademarks" for hot sauce brands at that time. Feng Jianxiong was also very cautious when he mentioned the brand "L Gan Ma" just now, talking about "famous trademark in Qiangui Province"
This is because when the state recognizes a well-known trademark, although there is no clear relevant hard and fast provisions, in practice, it requires that "ordinary people in most provinces in the country have heard of" a certain brand before it is willing to recognize "national well-known".
Therefore, don't think that it is easy to be "nationally famous" - historically, because "older people don't use QQ", even the trademark "Tengxun" was successfully "famous" in 2008, 10 years after the birth of QQ. The trademark "Ahri Baba" was only successfully "late-named" in 2014, when Ahri Group had already attracted $20 billion in the NASDAQ IPO.
If you look at these problems with the narrow eyes of netizens, it will feel very unbelievable - when the number of Nima QQ users reached 400 million, "Tengxun" was considered famous?
But the truth is so cruel that only one type of person and the person who uses it knows, and that is not well-known.
It is necessary that most of all provinces and all social classes in the country have heard of it, so that it can be called "well-known" in the legal sense.
Zhou Tianyin and Feng Yiji glanced at each other with inquiring eyes, both of them are standard soft young ladies in Jiangnan Water Town, and they usually don't eat spicy food at all, so they can only say that they have occasionally glimpsed the brand "L Godmother".
"I think I've heard of such a brand. The two young ladies affirmed in unison.
Therefore, this Deng Changchun is actually selling fakes, of course, it may also be a legal hot spot. The specific type of situation will not be clear until I investigate. Feng Jianxiong pointed out the main contradiction of the problem at the right time.
Zhou Tianyin was puzzled: "Isn't this an obvious fraudulent use of other people's brands? How can it still be 'legitimately rubbing hot spots'?"
Regarding this question, Feng Jianxiong looked like an old god was there, and smiled slightly: "Therefore, the law is a very complicated thing, and it needs a lawyer." I'll go home and check the evidence on the Internet to give you a clear answer. ”
"Then let's hurry up and eat, and hurry back to surf the Internet. Zhou Tianyin was a little curious, although she herself did not study law, but after all, her father was a judge, and she was more or less willing to be literate.
After the group finished eating, Zhou Tianyin drove to Feng's house and called his mother, saying that there was something wrong today, and he slept with Feng Yiji at night. Mother Zhou was not worried, obviously she was very familiar with Feng Yiji.
Feng Jianxiong went home and went online, opened the website of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, searched for various publicized trademark information, and then had an eyebrow.
He pointed to the pile of materials that had just been printed, and began to analyze them one by one for the girls.
