Clothing infringement?
"Hmm!"
Chen Mo's hand holding the coffee paused slightly, and he looked up at Linda.
"Why?"
"General Manager Chen, you are the president of such a large Group, how could you be short of that 200,000?"
"Ugh!"
Chen Mo looked at the coffee in his hand; today's coffee tasted exceptionally bitter.
It must be the fault of the person who made the coffee.
"Sister Linda, General Manager Chen is preparing to attend a large business reception… and the date is January 10th, so there is only half a month for production."
Shen Rou explained the requirements for the custom suits.
"Hmm, half a month is enough time. Let's go take a look at the samples first."
Linda nodded, then led Shen Rou toward the sample room.
Time passed, and soon it was afternoon.
Everyone's suits had been customized.
"General Manager Chen, you might need to keep your phone accessible over the next few days. When the suits here are nearly finished, there will be a fitting."
"The other managers are the same, just a little later."
Linda looked at Chen Mo and said with a smile.
"Hmm, just contact my assistant when the time comes."
Chen Mo nodded and ignored Linda further. This person had caused him to lose 200,000, and just thinking about it made his heart ache.
Saying this, he turned and walked toward the mall's elevator.
At Nanhe Coffee, Tang Qiu chose a seat and waited quietly. Not long after, the shop door opened, and Jiang Cheng and Liu Jie walked in from outside.
"Attorney Tang, sorry to keep you waiting."
Jiang Cheng looked at Tang Qiu and said apologetically. When they had just come out of the mall, he had been in a rush and went to the restroom. He also had to wait for Liu Jie to arrive.
"I only just arrived as well. I don't know what matter General Manager Jiang has?"
Tang Qiu waved her hand dismissively.
Jiang Cheng took Liu Jie to sit opposite Tang Qiu, his expression somewhat gloomy as he spoke.
"Our pet clothing has been plagiarized by others. General Manager Tang is a lawyer; this kind of thing should be subject to legal sanctions, right?"
"Plagiarism? To what extent? Has the plagiarizing party used it for commercial purposes, and do you know who the plagiarizing party is?"
Tang Qiu raised her eyebrows slightly, a hint of excitement in her eyes.
She had been at Mingri Group for over a year, but had not received a single case related to the company. This made her feel very uncomfortable, as if she were taking the Group's money without doing any work.
Especially yesterday, after receiving a message from Assistant Shen that General Manager Chen had given her an 800 bonus, she felt even more uneasy.
However, Jiang Cheng's words just now allowed her to sniff out an opportunity; she felt that she should finally have work to do.
Hearing this, Jiang Cheng turned to look at Liu Jie beside him. He had wanted to talk to Tang Qiu yesterday, but the information hadn't been fully collected, so he had delayed it by a day.
"General Manager Tang, this is the information I have collected. Commercial use has been confirmed; they are already selling them in their shops. There are many plagiarizing parties, and I haven't finished organizing them completely. Inside are photos of the plagiarized clothing and the clothing produced by our own Garment factory."
As Liu Jie spoke, he pushed the information toward Tang Qiu.
Tang Qiu took the information and opened it to look through it carefully.
Finally, she picked up two photos and checked them carefully, finding that the clothing in the photos was basically the same; those tiny deviations could be ignored.
This was already over 90% similarity; basically, without needing an appraisal, it could be confirmed as plagiarism.
"The Garment factory's designs have all applied for copyright, right?"
Tang Qiu looked up at Jiang Cheng. Previously, she was responsible for the copyright registration of the Garment factory's designs, but later she brought out a few people, and she herself was dispatched to establish Hundred Books Law Firm, so the matter of registering design copyrights was completely handed over to those people she had brought out from the Garment factory.
Therefore, she was now unsure whether all the designs currently at the Garment factory had their copyrights registered.
"Attorney Tang, every piece of clothing designed by the Garment factory is registered for copyright before production begins, so all the clothing listed by the Garment factory has copyright."
Jiang Cheng answered.
"Then there is no problem. We have our own copyright, and the photos of them listing these clothes already constitute plagiarism."
Tang Qiu slapped the photos on the table, a slight smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.
"Then, Attorney Tang, what should we do?"
"You don't need to do anything. Just leave this matter to our Hundred Books Law Firm. However, during this period, it might be necessary for General Manager Jiang to come forward, as well as to provide the copyright information for the plagiarized clothing."
"Alright, Attorney Tang, we will fully cooperate."
"Hmm, if there's nothing else, I'll head back first."
Tang Qiu stood up, eager to leave; work had finally arrived.
"Then many thanks to Attorney Tang."
Jiang Cheng stood up to thank her. In the last few days, because of the appearance of imitation pet clothing, the Garment factory's reputation had suddenly worsened significantly.
People said their clothing quality was problematic, but only later did they learn that they had purchased fake pet clothing.
And some merchants were using the name that their products came from here.
This gave him a huge headache.
Since its establishment, although Changfeng Clothing's fame had not been very large, its reputation had always been very good, and there had almost never been any negative reviews.
Even if there were negative reviews, they were not because of issues with clothing quality.
However, now a reputation problem had appeared, which made him feel a trace of crisis.
Although this reputation problem was not caused by them, it had indeed caused an impact on Changfeng Clothing. In the fan base of the pet clothing, many people had already reported that there were identical models for sale outside.
Some people had even started trying to buy those pirated pet clothes, which also brought a certain impact on their pet clothing sales.
"Forget the thanks; I am the legal director of Mingri Group. Isn't this kind of infringement matter what I should be doing? Just leave this clothing infringement matter to me."
Tang Qiu smiled faintly, then left the coffee shop directly.
Arriving at the parking lot, she drove straight to Hundred Books Law Firm. At the same time, while driving, she had already sent a message to the intern lawyers in the law firm.
"Meeting in the conference room in half an hour."
At Hundred Books Law Firm, Tang Qiu walked quickly toward her office. Just as she reached the door of her office, a girl came up to meet her.
"Tang Attorney!"
"Hmm, is everyone waiting in the conference room?"
Tang Qiu glanced at the time; it was almost half an hour since she had notified them of the meeting.
"Everyone is already waiting in the conference room. Tang Attorney, is there anything you need my help with?"
Xu Wan asked.
"Hmm, make copies of these documents, one for each person in the conference room."
Tang Qiu thought for a moment, then handed the information Jiang Cheng gave her to Xu Wan.
