Restaurants can apply for compensation for counterfeiting other people's brands. The details are as follows:

1. Negotiate compensation with the merchants themselves, and sign a compensation agreement if consensus is reached;

2. If negotiation fails, you can complain to the consumers' association and claim compensation, or complain to other organizations or administrative organs to claim compensation;

3. bring a lawsuit directly to the people's court and request the court to order the merchant to compensate for the losses.

what is the role and importance of lawyers in consumer infringement disputes?

1. Whether it constitutes infringement before litigation is the basis and key of litigation. If there is no infringement, there is no need to bear the liability for compensation, and the lawsuit is meaningless. Therefore, it is particularly important to judge whether there is infringement. The property owner should submit the proof that he is the property owner and other related materials to a professional lawyer for review. And truthfully state the evidence of the causal relationship between the infringement and the damage consequences. On the one hand, we should consider the opinions of environmental protection administrative organs, appraisal institutions or relevant experts, on the other hand, we should also comprehensively compare and analyze the relevant materials of the whole case, and lawyers should make comprehensive judgments based on legal knowledge and practical experience;

2. once evidence preservation and fixed judgment constitute infringement, materials should be sealed to prevent deletion and alteration. When sealing material evidence, pay attention to the fact that one end and one end of the sealing bag should be sealed and the evidence should be properly kept;

3. With professional legal knowledge and experience in handling cases, lawyers involved in the mediation of infringement disputes can put forward well-founded questions and refute each other, which is more likely to promote the success of mediation;

4. Choosing a suitable cause of action in litigation is the key to winning the case. There are also different types of infringement disputes. Different causes of action involve different burden of proof, compensation scope and litigation strategies. Only when it constitutes an infringement dispute can the burden of proof be reversed, and it is required to bear the burden of proof that there is no causal relationship between the damage and consequences of infringement.

to sum up, proper and reasonable proof can achieve the litigation effect. Don't give evidence indiscriminately. Never provide evidence that is not beneficial to yourself, but beneficial to the other party. Examining the evidence of the other party belongs to cross-examination. Deeply and incisively refute the other party's evidence, and the other party's evidence will not be effective. At the stage of court debate, we should grasp the key points, establish our own views in a well-founded, well-organized and distinct way according to the facts, evidence and laws of the trial, and refute the other side's views.
