Jinan Zhangqiu District, Ms. Chen said she received a phone call from the court, was notified as the defendant, to receive the court summons. Ms. Chen said: "A moment of mind a little bit blind, do not steal, what did not do on the defendant?" In fact, more than Ms. Chen, Zhangqiu dozens of small supermarkets have received similar summons.
Jinan, a woman into a 10 packet "alcoholic peanuts" to sell, convenience stores were claimed ten thousand yuanMrs. Chen opened a small supermarket in a village in Zhangqiu, she received a phone call from the People's Court of Zhangqiu, was notified as the defendant party to receive the court subpoena, Ms. Chen's first reaction is that she encountered a liar. "Then the court called me again, let me prepare materials, sent me the court code, I realized that I really accused of the court."
The cause of the incident is Ms. Chen's small store selling "drunkard" peanuts, and the plaintiff is the "drunkard" trademark holder, Ms. Chen infringement. Ms. Chen said that "a long time ago a customer mentioned want to eat drunkard peanuts, but drunkard peanuts in our area have not seen agents, no delivery unit, so only online shopping. 2020 May 4 from the Internet into the goods, a **** into the 10 packages."
According to Ms. Chen provided to the purchase of screenshots to see, she in an e-commerce platform to buy 10 packages of "drunkard",*** counted 70.02 yuan, priced at 9 yuan per packet in the store supermarket sales. Who knows now because of the 10 packages of alcoholic peanuts, she was taken to court, the other party to its claim of 10,000 yuan.
Why was the claim made?According to Ms. Chen, the defendant in court is not only her family, Zhangqiu more than 40 small stores, without knowing the case have become the defendant. "This company commissioned a lawyer company not to sue the infringing producers, specifically picking remote stores 'underhand', a bag of peanuts sold for just under ten dollars, was high claims tens of thousands of dollars. I think we suffered a running operation like infringement prosecution ......"
In order to verify Ms. Chen "running operation like infringement prosecution" this statement, I check the Zhangqiu People's Court session announcement,Found that the company one-time infringement producers, the company's lawyers do not go to the remote stores to 'do it'. I also searched the company's lawsuit, as far as the eye can see, the whole page is about "infringement of trademark disputes".
In order to further understand the situation, I called the official website of the Sichuan Province Best Xing Food Industry Co., Ltd. shows the phone, the other party responded that they are after-sales customer service, inquired about this matter, the other party told me, "This has been outsourced to the law firm." Finally I would like to ask how do you think about this matter?
