Chapter 1343 A Target Pops Out Suddenly
While Tang Weidong was preparing to attack the great powers in Europe, the team of litigators led by Guo Songxian also began to sharpen their swords and prepare to attack those domestic companies that "stole" Boss Tang's money.
Their preferred targets are two, one is those manufacturers that imitate game consoles and learning machines. The other is those manufacturers that imitate VCDs without authorization.
The reason why these two industries are targeted is because many of the manufacturers that infringe on these two types of products overlap. In other words, some manufacturers imitate game consoles, learning machines, and copycat VCDs.
Damn it, this is really bullying, you can’t just catch Boss Tang and pick it up.
As for them, can they still tolerate Boss Tang's bad temper? They must be punished and let them know why the flowers are so red!
The statement previously submitted to the liaison agency, after they returned to China, was like a mud cow entering the sea, without a single splash.
Not to mention that these companies took this statement seriously, but the relevant departments took one look at it and threw it away without taking it seriously at all.
They just asked the relevant companies what the situation was. The people in the companies were very single and replied with disdain: "They are all the same companies, why can they produce and we can't? Why can't they?"
If we can sell it, we can’t sell it?”
"They sell theirs and we sell ours. We all work according to our abilities. Why do they prohibit us from producing similar products? Why do they ask us for money?"ъìqυgΕtv.℃ǒΜ
The relevant departments thought about it and found that the company's words seemed to make sense, so they ignored the matter.
Since people don't take it seriously, then Boss Tang will be rude. If he doesn't eat the toast, he should be fined.
Therefore, Guo Songxian and the group of lawsuits he organized immediately prepared materials to sue production companies and sales companies that infringed on their intellectual property rights and patents in Hangkang, Mainland, and Europe.
The relevant parties involved initiate indiscriminate litigation.
Just when they were about to take action with murderous intent, something unexpected happened.
A strange bird actually jumped out on its own. Anyway, it was quite sudden.
This made both Tang Weidong and Guo Songxian feel quite helpless, so they had to temporarily let go of the companies that infringed the patent rights, and prepared to stew this outstanding bird.
On August 21st, the Wei brothers from Yingzhou invested in a factory called Dingyi in Jinmen to develop and produce Master Kong braised beef noodles, which was officially launched on the market.
Their parent company is Dingxin Oil Factory in Yingzhou, which was also founded by these four brothers in 1958. At this time, like many people in Yingzhou, they were eyeing the vast blue ocean market in the mainland that was yet to be developed.
At the beginning, they set up factories in several places to produce cooking oil and other products. Unfortunately, their products were too highbrow and unremarkable.
Later, after some research, they discovered that the instant noodle market is an industry with huge potential and huge profits, so they wanted to try to start from this aspect.
They also discovered that the instant noodle market in the mainland is currently dominated by a brand called Master Tang.
The rest are small local brands, fighting on their own and guarding their own small territory, without much competitiveness.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.
I don’t know what they were thinking, or maybe the author was crazy and arranged for them to continue using the original name: Master Kong.
Looking for a more far-fetched reason, maybe they want to take advantage of Master Tang's reputation and quickly spread it. It is okay to increase the popularity first and seize more markets, and then change the name later.
Didn’t they later change the name from Dingyi to Master Kong?
This is a bit similar to brands like six nuclear bombs, twenty-eight walnuts, Wahaha, Kang Shuaifu and so on.
Although Tang Weidong was a reference and borrowed the brand from their previous life, that cannot be said now. This time, Tang Weidong registered the brand first, and they are the ones who are copycats and follow suit.
My instant noodles are called Master Tang, and yours are called Master Kong. If the two kinds of instant noodles are placed on the shelf, if you are a little more cautious, you will not be able to tell them apart.
Isn't this the market that I have worked so hard to win at an advantage to them? This is absolutely intolerable!
Moreover, what they don't know is that Tang Weidong quietly registered a bunch of messy names similar to Master Tang, such as Master Kong, Tang Shuaifu, etc., as well as trademarks for all categories.
.
It won’t work otherwise. Someone once applied for the “Yili” toilet trademark, a mineral water brand was registered as a trademark in the pesticide category, a wedding photo studio’s trademark was registered in the funeral industry, etc.
This kind of thing happens all the time, and it's simply a scam.
Because of this, many companies with strong trademark awareness will apply for protection or registration of entire categories.
For example, the White Rabbit Candy Company has registered all trademarks that are similar to its own. Therefore, we can see many trademarks such as Little White Rabbit, Little Black Rabbit, and Big White Free.
Alibaba has registered trademarks such as Grandpa Ali, Grandma Ali, and Mama Alibaba.
Xiaomi Company has registered all trademarks such as Xiaomi, Daimi, Black Rice, and Purple Rice.
Some people will definitely say, isn’t this nonsense? When Master Kong registered his trademark, wouldn’t he know if it could be used?
Hey, it's a pity that the trademark Master Kong was not registered at the beginning. If someone has a good memory, you can think about it. Didn't they have the letter r in the circle next to the trademark for a long time?
They used it first and then registered it. Fortunately, people in China had little awareness of copyright in this area. Otherwise, it would have been funny if they had registered in advance.
But this time, their luck was not as good as before.
Dingyi Company seems to be very confident in instant noodles. As soon as the beef noodles came on the market, they spent huge sums of money to promote the product at all costs.
Just when they were looking forward to an instant success, the litigators headed by Guo Songxian took action and launched infringement lawsuits against them in Hangkang and the mainland at the same time.
This caught Dingyi's people off guard, and all four brothers were stunned.
Only then did they remember and quickly sent someone to the industrial and commercial department to check. They would not know the results until they checked. After the check, their eyes went dark and they almost fainted.
The last two times they came to invest, they lost more than one billion NT dollars. For this investment, they borrowed money from their father's old comrades.
Now all the money has been invested in Dingyi's factory and brand promotion. If they change the brand now, all the previous investment will be wasted.
