As a Lawyer, You Sent the Judge In?

Chapter 418 What happened to the Supreme Court lawsuit? Should we lose the case or should we lose the case?

 This trademark infringement case can be considered as a commission.

 During the first and second trials of this case, the Jordan case had a certain impact on the Internet.

However, because this case has been delayed for too long, it has not had much impact.

 In other words, due to the deliberate suppression by Jordan Sports Company, it did not cause much response online.

 This time, Li Han, as Jordan's domestic agent, approached Baijun Law Firm to represent the case.

 Actually, it was not just Su Bai’s ability to litigate that he was interested in.

 Because there are actually not many law firms that can take on this trademark infringement case.

 There are also many top lawyers and top law firms for trademark cases.

Li Han can definitely find other lawyers to fight this Supreme Court case.

 At least in terms of reputation for trademark cases, these lawyers and law firms are much higher than Bai Jun Law Firm.

 Find another aspect of Baijun Law Firm.

 Mainly because Baijun Law Firm has a certain influence on short videos on the Internet.

Su Bai, in particular, is very well-known online.

Whether this case is won or not in the end, it will at least have a certain degree of exposure.

 Let the public know that the Jordan sports products produced by Qiaodan Sports Co., Ltd. are not from the famous basketball player Jordan.

ˆIt has nothing to do with the famous athlete Jordan to create a bad reputation.

 This can be considered a different level of exposure.

 This is also a very important factor why Li Han came to Baijun Law Firm to fight this lawsuit.

You can win the lawsuit and make a lot of money.

 If you cannot win the lawsuit, you will not be compensated.

 Overall, it’s a sure profit! .

 ….

office.

 After seeing Li Han off, Su Bai simply sorted out the case materials on the table.

how to say.…

 The case is accepted and if the case is won.

 In the future development of Baijun Law Firm, some trademark cases and some economic dispute cases will see a certain growth.

 For Baijun Law Firm.

 There is no harm.

Moreover, the legal fees for this case are very high!

 Compared with criminal cases, cases like this involve economic disputes and trademark disputes.

 The amounts involved and the legal fees involved are extremely high.

 Start with millions.

Besides, Li Xuezhen looked at the contents of the commission contract and said with a smile:

“Lawyer Su... our legal fees will be quite high for this trademark case!”

Su Bai looked at Li Xuezhen with a smile on her face.

  Quite a few?

Although the lawyer’s fees are quite a lot, they are only about the same as a rich woman’s pocket money, right?

Su Bai knew that Lao Li had bought the house that Li Xuezhen rented.

But for Lao Li, this may only be a matter of digging two more shovels of coal.

Thinking of this...

Su Bai was a little stressed.

But then he threw these thoughts away and nodded:

 “Well, quite a few.”

.

 ….

 In the office of a professor at Nandu University of Law.

 After getting the news from Xu Xiang, Feng Lijian called Lao Li to the office.

 Lao Li's attitude has changed very quickly now.

  I don’t know that Feng Lijian has been subtly influencing his ideas.

 It's because the mentality of his daughter's slave gradually began to change, and he hoped that his daughter would become happier and better.

 Lao Li was particularly concerned about Li Xuezhen and Su Bai's affairs.

"Old Feng, what do you say about this matter? Have you asked your student to tell Su Bai that I am willing to give him three mines!"

Lao Li asked Feng Lijian with a smile.

Three mines, how many shovels do you need to dig?

Who would it be for me, who wouldn’t be moved?

If it had been him when he was young, his shovel would have emitted smoke!

Feng Lijian gave Lao Li a roll of his eyes:

“Come on, you think everyone cares about those two bad guys, right?”

“Bai Jun Law Firm is now a first-class law firm in China. It has a branch in Beidu and its annual revenue is also very high.”

"Can you throw money at it? If you ask me to say it, I can't even say it!"

 “Stop joking and get down to business.”

 Lao Li heard Feng Lijian become serious and nodded quickly: "Okay."

 “Speak the right things, say the right things.”

"What's Su Bai's statement? Is it because he doesn't like Xuezhen, or what?"

Feng Lijian said: "It's not that I don't like it."

“It is a matter for young people, and young people should make the decision. Everyone may have different ideas.”

 “Can you understand me?”

 Lao Li shook his head: "Just tell me whether this can be done. I'm in a hurry. Can you please stop beating around the bush?"

"Okay, okay...I mean, this matter is much easier than we thought. There must be nothing wrong with the two of them."

“Then why hasn’t there been any movement? If you wait a little longer, my Xuezhen will become an old girl!”

 Feng Lijian: “?”

 No, in the past, we were said to be daughter slaves, and we were afraid that our daughters would have contact with other men?

 Why do you hate getting married now?

Isn’t this attitude change too fast?

 Lao Li, something is wrong with you!

.

 ….

 In Bai Jun Law Firm.

 After accepting the entrustment of Jordan’s trademark infringement case, we compiled the relevant evidence materials as soon as possible.

Su Bai had a phone call with Jordan Sports Co., Ltd.

 And when applying to the court for a hearing, proactively request the court for mediation.

how to say.…

 In some respects, in some cases.

 As long as it does not involve serious illegal or criminal acts or serious criminal liability issues.

 For example, some trademark disputes, economic disputes and civil disputes.

 The courts are still more inclined to conduct out-of-court mediation.

 For example, there was once a very famous guarantee case in an economic dispute.

Involved the liability of three parties, and the trial reached the Supreme Court step by step.

 How did the Supreme Court resolve it in the end?

 The Supreme People's Court only clarified the responsibilities of the parties during the court hearing, but did not make a judgment.

 At the end of the trial, all parties are notified and settlement is conducted out of court.

 So, whether it is an ordinary court or the Supreme Court, the most important thing is to resolve this case.

The same is true when this trial reaches the Supreme Court. If reconciliation can be carried out, then a request for reconciliation needs to be made first.

  To show that one's own side has already taken an attitude in this case.

After receiving the infringement case, Su Bai took the initiative to request a settlement.

 The Supreme Court also contacted Jordan Sports Co., Ltd. and asked whether it was willing to reconcile.

 If there is a willingness to reconcile...then the court will conduct some mediation.

The legal affairs of Jordan Sports Co., Ltd. are obviously very clear. In this case, the attitude of the court is also very important.

 So he agreed to mediate.

  Jordan Sports Co., Ltd. Legal Department Office.

 The legal department is conducting simple discussions on this final trial.

 Lin Hai, the head of the Legal Department, was having a meeting with several other lawyers from the Legal Department to convey some matters regarding this court hearing.

"This time, our lawsuit with Jordan's agent has gone to the Supreme Court." "You also know very well what is the most important thing for our company, and the most important thing is this trademark!"

“If we didn’t have this trademark, our company would have such a big business, such a large scale, and annual sales of hundreds of millions or billions.”

 “Almost none exist anymore.”

 “So you also know very well what this means to us.”

“This time I heard that the attorney representing the other party is Su Bai, the founder of Baijun Law Firm who has special performance in the criminal field.”

“Lao Zhang, Lao Xiao, as the lawyers attending this trial, you two must pay close attention!”

"This trial is the last and most critical one. There must be no surprises in the trial!"

 Lao Zhang smiled and said: "Don't worry, Director Lin, the first and second trials of this case were handled by me and Lao Xiao."

“We have a very good understanding of the domestic trademark law and image copyright infringement law, and there will definitely be no problems in this case.”

“Besides, he is a lawyer in the criminal field, but he knows nothing about trademark law and tort law?”

 “Are you right?”

 “Hahahaha...yes, yes, yes.”

 Several other lawyers in the legal department echoed one after another.

Hearing Lao Zhang’s assurance and light-hearted joke, Lin Hai nodded slightly:

“Okay, as long as this case can be won, our legal department will receive a big dividend at the end of the year.”

“This is the result of the discussion between the chairman and I...you should take advantage of it!”

 Lao Zhang nodded: "Haha, in order to get the dividends, we will definitely fight for this case!"

"but.…"

“Jordan’s attorney proposed a settlement in advance in this case. What should we say about this?”

Lin Hai was silent for a few seconds and gave the answer:

“Bai Jun Law Firm proposed a settlement, most likely just to show its attitude.”

 “Let’s just participate in the reconciliation.”

“As long as there are no issues such as trademarks or portrait rights, and if the amount of compensation they ask for is reasonable, we can definitely agree to it.”

 “What kind of unexpected situation will happen in the future?”

"good.…"

 Zhang Yuan and Xiao Youzhi nodded at the same time and agreed.

.

 ….

 Mediation Office of the Supreme Court.

The person mediating the case this time was a senior judge of the court.

 The mediators are divided into the plaintiff and the defendant.

 The plaintiff is naturally Su Bai, and the defendant is Jordan Sports Co., Ltd.

 The judge described the contents of this mediation in detail.

 Following this, let Su Bai begin to describe the relevant content of mediation.

 State the relevant mediation content. To put it bluntly, it means to see whether the defendant can meet the requirements put forward.

 If the defendant agrees to be satisfied, then the mediation is completed.

 If you do not agree, then the mediation has failed and the court process will continue.

Under the auspices of the mediator, Su Bai began to briefly state their side’s mediation requirements.

 “Our mediation request is very simple.”

“First: Jordan Sports Co., Ltd. needs to admit its infringement.”

“Second: Jordan Sports Co., Ltd. needs to compensate us, and the compensation shall be implemented in accordance with the highest standards stipulated in the law.”

“Third: Jordan Sports Co., Ltd. publicly apologizes to us.”

“The above are our mediation requirements.”

 Zhang Yuan and Xiao Youzhi were both angry and happy when they heard this request for mediation.

What are the requirements for this mediation?

This mediation requirement is that their company will only face liability issues after losing the lawsuit.

 One more thing is.

  What is the most important thing about Jordan Sports Co., Ltd.? The most important thing is the trademark!

　Admitting one's own infringement is equivalent to denying one's own trademark.

 Can such a thing be done?

This kind of thing must not be done!

Although the conditions stated by Su Bai seem to be very simple, there are many ways to do it.

 For example, after publicly apologizing and admitting one's infringement, can the Jordan trademark still be used?

It’s definitely not possible...

So what is the difference between this settlement and losing the lawsuit?

 There is basically no difference.

 According to Lin Hai's request, they absolutely cannot accept this condition.

After hearing Su Bai’s request for mediation, Zhang Yuan responded directly at the judge’s signal.

“I would like to ask the lawyer appointed by the plaintiff.”

"Are there any other conditions attached to your request? For example, if we admit our infringement,"

“So can I still use this trademark, or can I continue to do publicity and other work?”

Su Bai said directly: "Well, the defendant has already committed infringement.

 Then we can no longer use the Jordan trademark and we cannot continue to do promotional work. "

“Unless Jordan’s consent can be obtained.”

 Zhang Yuan asked back: "Then I would like to ask the plaintiff's lawyer."

“This lawsuit of yours is based on the fact that we have committed infringement.”

"But.…"

“Can you prove that we have committed infringement? Neither the first-instance nor the second-instance judgments found that we have committed any violations or infringements.”

“Does the plaintiff have the law enforcement rights to determine that we have committed any violations or infringements?”

“In this final trial, the plaintiff suddenly asked us to publicly apologize, and directly determined that we had committed trademark infringement during the settlement process. Isn’t this unreasonable?”

“We do not agree with the plaintiff’s request for settlement because the plaintiff’s request for settlement does not have any sincerity.”

“If the plaintiff believes that we have affected Jordan’s reputation, we are willing to pay partial compensation.”

“But if the plaintiff believes that we are infringing on trademarks or infringing on portrait rights.”

 “I’m sorry, but we firmly disagree with these views!”

 When Zhang Yuan said this, his thinking was very clear.

 Trademark and portrait rights are the focus of this case.

  And it is the top priority.

 Because it constitutes illegal use, you can apply to cancel the trademark of Jordan Sports Co., Ltd.

  However, if it is determined that it only has a certain impact on Jordan's reputation, then only an apology and partial compensation are required.

 And the amount of compensation is very small.

 In the face of Zhang Yuan’s opening and refusal to reconcile.

Su Bai smiled: "But in this case, the defendant Jordan Sports Co., Ltd. did infringe Jordan's trademark and portrait."

“If the defendant does not agree to the settlement, then we can only continue to prosecute.”

 Zhang Yuan also smiled: "Well, please ask the plaintiff to sue us!"

 Both parties are very clear that reconciliation is just a related process.

 At the same time, it also expresses their respective attitudes.

 In the end, the case still has to go to court.

Looking at Su Bai, Zhang Yuan thought to himself: sue?

 He did not think that Su Bai was an outstanding lawyer in the criminal field.

 In this case, any advantage can be obtained.

 The plaintiff lost both the first instance and the second instance.

Then, there will be no exceptions to this final hearing in the Supreme Court! .
