"Mr. Lu, although they operate an e-commerce website and can reasonably use the Double Eleven trademark, our company organized the Double Eleven event first, and their website was registered recently. Legally, we can apply to raise an objection. It is theoretically feasible to reject the other party’s right to apply.”
Legal consultant Hou Cheng said this to Lu Zhaowen.
Xu Jinbo already had some thoughts at this time. He looked at Lu Zhaowen eagerly: "Mr. Lu, look..."
Lu Zhaowen ignored Xu Jinbo, looked at Hou Cheng and asked, "How sure are you of winning the case?"
Hou Cheng shook his head: "I can only say that it will work, but it does not mean that I will definitely win the lawsuit, because trademarks are inherently first-come-first-served. If we want to fight this lawsuit, it may consume a lot of energy and time, and it will still be involved in the end." clear."
"The best way is to send people to negotiate with the company that registered the trademark and acquire the trademark," Hou Cheng said.
Lu Zhaowen nodded, looked at Xu Jinbo who was beside him timidly, and snorted coldly: "Why are you still hanging around? Go quickly."
"Okay, okay Mr. Lu, I'll send someone right now..."
"Um?"
Xu Jinbo got an idea and said quickly, "I'll go and talk about it myself right now."
The trademark issue this time could be either minor or serious. There was no need for Xu Jinbo to take Lu Zhaowen's bad luck at this time and leave the office in a hurry after making a promise.
Only Hou Cheng, Liu Qing, and Lu Zhaowen were left in the office with a deep frown.
Lu Zhaowen looked at Liu Qing: "Negotiations must be done, but public relations must be arranged immediately. Since this matter cannot be hidden, we should try our best to reduce the impact as much as possible. At the same time, talk to people at Sina to reduce the heat as much as possible."
Liu Qing nodded: "Okay, Mr. Lu."
After Liu Qing left, Hou Cheng said with a smile: "Mr. Lu, there is no need to worry too much. The Double Eleven event can be carried out well. It is nothing more than spending more money."
Lu Zhaowen shook his head: "I'm afraid that the negotiations will not go smoothly. If these trademarks fall into the hands of Penguin, Baidu or JD.com, we will be in a very passive situation."
Hou Cheng didn't speak anymore. He was just a legal advisor. Since he had given advice, the next thing was not his concern.
However, Alibaba recruited such highly educated talents and made so many preparations for Double Eleven, but no one thought about registering a trademark. Instead, a small company in Hongcheng registered it in advance. It is indeed... a bit ridiculous.
....
"Brother Zhou, the news has been released. In addition, to be on the safe side, we also operate an e-commerce website, which attracts tens of thousands of user traffic from the Kuaiyong app. We are also currently warming up the Double Eleven activities, but it is not too hot. Sou was quickly suppressed, and Alibaba must have used some means."
Zhang Long said to Zhou Yan in Zhulang's office.
Zhou Yan smiled: "The hot search shows that they are aware of the seriousness of the problem. How about it? Have you sent someone over to discuss the acquisition?"
"The manager of Alibaba's e-commerce will come to negotiate in person, but not only Alibaba, but Baidu, JD.com, and Penguin are also interested in the trademark, and I believe they will send people to negotiate soon," Zhang Long said.
Even he was a little surprised. On the first day after the news was released, not only did it become a hot search, many companies, including his old boss Penguin, had a strong interest in this trademark. You can imagine its real value.
"Thank you for your hard work, Brother Zhang."
Zhou Yan knows that a trademark is just a piece of fat, and those 'hungry wolves' will not be tempted.
Baidu, as the most powerful Internet company in the country, is sitting on the huge traffic brought by search engines and has been eyeing e-commerce projects for a long time. JD.com, as Alibaba’s old enemy, also attaches great importance to it, and Penguin has successfully explored e-commerce projects before Alibaba. The successful business model also entered the market later, but the operation of 'Paipai' has been tepid. Obviously, Penguin saw an opportunity this time.
"It's a pity that Ali spent a lot of money to suppress the hot search." Zhang Long said with some regret.
Weibo's hot searches have great influence. If the hot searches can be sustained, the trademark may be able to exert greater value.
"It doesn't matter. This shows that Ali takes it seriously and is more beneficial to us."
Zhou Yan said with a smile: "Now we just need to wait quietly. Whoever offers the highest price will sell the trademark."
"That's the truth." Zhang Long nodded in agreement.
"When the time comes, I will still have to trouble Brother Zhang to negotiate with these people. I have no experience." Zhou Yan said.
"OK."
Zhang Long knew that Zhou Yan didn't want to appear in public, so he didn't refuse.
He glanced at Liu Ying, who was quietly writing homework at Zhou Yan's desk, and left without saying anything more, saying goodbye to Zhou Yan.
Liu Ying had no intention of doing her homework. She looked serious but was actually listening to the corner. Now that Zhang Long has left, Liu Ying couldn't help but said: "Cousin, is this really a club of yours?"
What kind of trademark... Negotiations with Alibaba, Baidu, Penguin, etc. made Liu Ying sound like she was dreaming.
She didn't survive Alibaba and JD.com, but Baidu and Penguin, well-known entities, why would they come to her cousin's club to discuss things.
"Actually, it's a startup club. I founded a company with a few senior students. However, it needed support from the school, so it initially existed in the form of a club."
Zhou Yan explained with a smile.
"Is that so?" Liu Ying was still dumbfounded.
Apparently she didn't get over it.
"Xiaoying, do you know who that was just now?" Zhou Yan asked.
"I don't know." Liu Ying shook her head honestly.
Zhang Long is an uncle in his forties. In her opinion, he should be a technical staff member of his cousin's company.
"He is Zhang Long. He used to operate QQ mailboxes at Penguin Company. Now he has been recruited by Zhulang to do project operations." Zhou Yan explained.
"So awesome?"
Liu Ying swallowed.
Today, she came to the office of her cousin and the president's senior sister to study as usual, and she happened to meet her cousin talking to this uncle.
In the end, the conversation was about familiar Internet companies. Now her cousin told her that this uncle used to be a Penguin QQ mailbox?
Liu Ying has been using qq mailbox, and she especially likes the drifting function. As a result, the person who runs qq mailbox was right in front of her just now?
Zhou Yan didn't feel anything when he found out that others were praising Zhulang for being great, but when he saw the little girl's shocked look in front of his cousin Liu Ying, Zhou Yan felt something special.
He said with a smile: "Actually, it's just opportunistic and taking advantage of large companies. There's nothing exciting about it."
"But it's really awesome."
Liu Ying looked at Zhou Yan's carefree look. Although she didn't want to admit it, her cousin was indeed a little handsome at this time.
"Study hard, and after you get admitted, cousin Hong will help you start a business for fun."
Zhou Yan smiled and patted Liu Ying's head and said softly.
This was the first time he patted Liu Ying's head, and I have to say, it was quite impressive.
At this time, Liu Ying had already fallen into a little admiration for Zhou Yan, and selectively ignored Zhou Yan's impolite behavior. She blinked and looked at Zhou Yan, and said slightly excitedly: "Cousin, are you here?" Take me with you when it’s time.”
In her opinion, this is no more interesting than boring study.
Don't look at what my cousin said about Feng Qingyundan, he wants to collect the wool of a big company, but he still has to be able to collect it.
She was even thinking that her cousin was doing something really awesome.
This is a campus club in name, but in fact it is a company started by college students. It is really a bit awesome.
Zhou Yan's face felt a little hot when Liu Ying looked at him with such admiration. He said, "Let's wait until you get admitted to Hongda."
"Uh-huh."
Liu Ying nodded her head heavily.
What can a 17-year-old girl understand? All she knows is that she seems to have a very powerful cousin and a very powerful company.
That's all.
...
Hongda Entrepreneurship Competition Finals, Hongda Auditorium
There are a total of five teams that have entered the finals, and members of the five teams are currently sitting in the waiting seats.
The auditorium was beautifully decorated, giving it the atmosphere of a competition, and the auditorium was filled with students.
This is an entrepreneurship competition jointly organized by the Student Union and Hongda Star Club Zhulang Studio, and the school also attaches great importance to it.
Students who come to watch the competition can get a second credit award, but even if there is no publicity, many students sign up to participate.
Nothing else.
The name of Zhulang Studio is too loud.
Developed the Home App and a reward community for the convenience of students. It was reported by the provincial and television stations and received tens of millions of dollars in financing. Almost all universities in the city have reached cooperation with the Hongda Zhulang Studio and joined the Home App.
This is a pretty awesome thing.
This is a very awesome society.
How could no one come to watch an entrepreneurship competition organized by such an awesome society?
At the judging table, there were also ministries from the Student Union and Zhulang Studio.
The teacher also had Li Hongchuan, the principal of Hongchuan Academy, come over. It can be said that the portion is very filling.
Some of the students passing by the review seats looked towards the review seats.
Of course not looking at Li Hongchuan and several teachers who studied engineering.
Look at the girls instead.
Zhou Wan, Qiao Shishi and Xing Xuan from Zhulang Studio all participated in the review.
Their good looks naturally attracted the attention of students.
One is gentle, one is cold, and the other is beautiful. Each has its own characteristics, but they all wear the same student uniform, which makes them full of temperament.
Many students have already begun to inquire about the identities of the three women.
Many people also know that Zhou Wan is the president of the student union, a former beauty teacher, and a junior high school student.
Qiao Shishi is the department beauty of the School of Management and the aloof senior sister of the student union.
As for Xing Xuan, many people don't know it, but her pure and beautiful appearance and the faint smile that always hangs on her lips have earned her as much attention as Zhou Wan and Qiao Shishi.
The news soon came out.
It is said that he is the vice president of Zhulang Studio.
And this also made more students become curious about Xing Xuan.
The selection criteria of Zhulang Studio are as strict as hell, and the person who can become the president of Zhulang Studio will definitely not be an ordinary girl.
Therefore, many students will take a second look at Xing Xuan when passing the review position.
She is also very unique in temperament.
Compared to Zhou Wan and Qiao Shishi who are intellectual and aloof, Xing Xuan appears to be more pure and beautiful. The first two are peonies that are hard to come by, while Xing Xuan is a down-to-earth and elegant girl who is more able to arouse male compatriots. protective desire.
The key is still so good, it's hard not to attract more attention.
However, some people are curious about the empty seat next to Xing Xuan.
It was between the teacher review and the student review. Principal Li Hongchuan was sitting on the right side of the empty seat, while Xing Xuan was sitting on the left.
I don’t know who left this empty spot.
Many students have already started discussing it in the school forum group on the Home App.
After all, one next to him is the leader of the school, and the other is the vice president of Zhulang Studio, who needs good looks and temperament. So, whose vacant position in the middle belongs to him?
Many people discussed it, and some people speculated that he was the president of Zhulang Studio. However, some people quickly refuted that the current president of Zhulang Studio is Senior Sister Zhou Wan. Senior Sister Zhou Wan gave up her job in the student union and now works exclusively as the president of Zhulang Studio. .
As soon as the news came out, it also caused an uproar.
The direction of the discussion also temporarily shifted from Zhulang Studio to Zhou Wan.
Giving up being the president of the student union and becoming the president of Zhulang Studio is really... very wise.
No one thought this was stupid.
I even think Zhou Wan has made a lot of money.
After all, the value of Zhulang Studio cannot be compared to that of the Student Union.
Zhou Wan has a much better future as the president of Zhulang than as the president of the student union.
Of course there are other voices.
Some people say that Zhou Wan became the president of Zhulang Studio because of her good looks.
Many people followed the message and expressed their approval.
But just when the criticism started, a statement from the developer of Home app was posted.
No one pays attention to what the developers claim.
Just because of the name of the developer, Zhou Wan was there.
In other words, the home app that made Zhulang Studio popular also had Zhou Wan’s efforts in it.
With the support of this news, those who said that Zhou Wan was a vase and that Zhou Wan became the president of Zhulang Studio because of her good looks, all shut up.
The discussion about Zhou Wan gradually became equal to that of Xing Xuan, the vice president of Zhulang.
Of course, the lively discussion in the community did not affect the judges of the Jury Student Union and Zhulang Studio.
"Sister Wan, senior will be late."
At this time, Xing Xuan whispered to Zhou Wan.
"He should be on time." Zhou Wan smiled.
"This brat is so unreliable." When Li Hongchuan heard the discussion between Zhou Wan and Xing Xuan, he also laughed and cursed.
However, his eyes have always been on the five teams that are about to compete on the projection.
The week-long Hongda Entrepreneurship Competition has come to an end, and Li Hongchuan is also paying attention to the competition.
No other reason than that this entrepreneurship competition organized by Hongda is directly related to the admission of members of the innovation and technology class.
Zhou Yan has currently only admitted some members of the innovation and technology class, stating that the remaining members will be determined by the results of this entrepreneurship competition.
Naturally, Li Hongchuan didn't make much sense. He even wanted to see if any of Hongda's students, besides Zhou Yan, had any good entrepreneurial ideas worthy of his attention.
At this time, Li Hongchuan's eyes also fell on Zhou Yan who appeared at the door.
This brat is finally here.
A smile appeared on Li Hongchuan's face.
Zhou Yan also noticed Li Hongchuan, came to him, smiled and said hello: "Principal Li."
"Sit down." Li Hong said.
"Um."
Zhou Yan also naturally sat between Li Hongchuan and Xing Xuan.
"Senior, you are finally here."
Xing Xuan also said excitedly at this time.
Zhou Yan smiled: "Is the game about to start?"
"Soon." Xing Xuan said.
"It's good that you're not late." Zhou Yan laughed.
Zhou Yan looked at Hu Xin'er, who was hosting on the stage, and couldn't help but be attracted by her elegant dress, revealing her delicate collarbones, slim figure, and decent and confident smile.
Can this tiger girl still host?
This was something Zhou Yan didn't expect.
But Zhou Yan didn't expect that when he sat on the empty seat on the judging table, the eyes of a large number of people in the audience fell on Zhou Yan.
who is he?
Why are you sitting between Vice President Xing Xuan and Principal Li?
