Blackstone Code Chapter 1297: Federal Features

Updated URL: A... very ordinary celebration.

No big surprises, but it doesn't disappoint either, after all, it's good enough for the socially minded.

With so many big names in attendance, any invitee could feel their status elevated by participating in this celebration.

Originally, Lynch planned to go to York with Mr. Douglas in two days, and they had a lot of time to chat about topics of interest to them, but at this time, Momo called him.

The name of the magazine "Pioneer" has been registered.

If the name "Pioneer" hadn't been advertised, if the magazine's cover had not been finalized, it's possible that Lynch would consider a name change, just thinking about it.

He likes the name "Pioneer" very much and wants his magazine to be called Pioneer, but the problem is that the name of the magazine has been registered now.

This means that he will also use "Pioneer" as his magazine name to publish, which will violate the rights of "Pioneer" rights holders, which is a criminal act!

Momo didn't deal with this kind of thing, she seemed a little flustered, and an assistant hired by Lynch didn't quite know how far Lynch was willing to go, so she didn't make a statement.

In the end, Lynch decided to go back to Bopeyn to deal with the matter first. As for the private meeting with Mr. Douglas, they would have time in the future.

There will be no problem over York State, he will communicate with Mr. Adelaide, and he must understand why he can't come to the celebration.

The next day, he said goodbye to Ms. Tracey and embarked on a journey back to Bpein.

Bopeen arrived in the middle of the night. After a night of rest, it was the next morning when he saw Momo and the staff of the publishing house.

At half past nine in the morning, Lynch was already sitting in the conference room, and he was looking through the materials sorted out in his hands.

The Pioneer magazine was launched four years ago and is distributed in the state next door to Bopeng, but when the magazine name and trademark were registered, it was federally registered.

The magazine's circulation is very general, with less than 10,000 copies per issue. In today's paper media is still the mainstream, this kind of circulation can be said that this magazine is finished.

It's true, if it weren't for the fact that some subscribers' contracts were not fulfilled, and some advertisers were willing to spend some money, the publisher would have stopped it long ago.

But even with such a barely maintained magazine, there are times when I see spring.

When Lynch established Blackstone Media Corporation and some wholly-owned subsidiaries and wanted to start a publication, the news spread rapidly throughout the federal publishing industry.

The publishing industry also has its own industry rules and internal communication methods.

When the half-dead magazine publisher heard that Lynch's magazine was also going to be called "Pioneer," he was excited.

They sent a lawyer's letter to Momo, probably saying that "Pioneer" is a registered trademark and protected by federal trademark law.

At the same time, they said that they heard rumors that the magazine that Lynch's publishing house was going to publish was also called "Pioneer", so they reminded them not to infringe.

That's probably what it means.

After reading the materials and the lawyer's letter, Lynch looked at an assistant beside Momo, "What do you think?"

The assistant pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, "Mr. Lynch, I think they mean to sell us this trademark..." He emphasized, "...for a big price! "

Lynch nodded slightly, he thought so too, first reminded himself not to infringe, and then sent an email to talk about acquisition or cooperation.

There are people who do that in Bupen.

There are some trademark dealers who will look for some well-known local companies all over the Commonwealth, and if these companies are not perfect in terms of trademarks, they will squatting trademarks and then sue these people.

In fact, these gameplays have existed for many years, since the "Trademark Law" appeared, but there are always some people who ignore some things when making money, so that these people still have the soil to survive today.

Momo also frowned. The first time she came into contact with management, she realized that it was not an easy task to go behind the scenes.

There is so much to learn.

"There's a phone here, call and ask how much they're going to charge." Lynch threw the document on the table and pointed to the footer of the last page, which had a string of numbers on it.

He looked at Momo, who took a deep breath, picked up the phone, and dialed the number in front of Lynch and his assistant.

After a brief mutual introduction, the call was passed to the person who was said to be the president.

"Ms. Momo, I'm very sorry. I also heard from a friend that there is a magazine about to be launched in the Commonwealth that has a name collision with ours, so I can only ask the lawyer to remind you."

"I apologize if this has caused you some trouble."

Very mild, but disgusting when Lynch hole wears his disguise.

Momo didn't say too much nonsense, and faced the theme, "If I want to buy your trademark, how much will I pay for it?"

"Buy?", the voice on the phone was full of surprise, "No no no, Ms. Momo, you misunderstood, this trademark is not for sale, we will not sell it."

"It's a dream for me and all of my colleagues, and we're not going to sell our dream no matter what!"

The current sound transmission effect of the Federation is quite good, and Lynch actually heard warm emotions from the restored voice.

But... feelings are worthless.

"We are very sincere, you can make a price..." Momo further tested and gave the right to the other party.

The president on the other end of the phone also seemed to bite the bullet, "I said, we won't sell our trademarks, but we still have a way to cooperate..."

Momo glanced at Lynch, there was a sneer on Lynch's face, he nodded slightly and let the call continue.

In fact, he probably guessed what the other party was going to do without continuing. If the trademark in his hand is not sold, but Lynch can use it again, then what is the solution?

Of course, this is Lynch's best cooperation method. They authorize Lynch to use the trademark, and then get benefits, according to the percentage, or even take away the pure profit.

It can't be said that the other party's appetite is too great, nor can it be said that they are too greedy, this is precisely the most primitive and original face of capital.

As long as there is an opportunity, capital must obtain the greatest rate of return.

Not to mention now that they have the upper hand, they deserve more!

For this magazine, it doesn't matter if Lynch doesn't use the name "Pioneer", they just need to follow up the hype, and the trademark can still sell for a good price.

It doesn't even need to be sold, it's possible to get the magazine up and running again!

Sure enough, after Momo asked the other party to state the conditions, the other party proposed their method of cooperation.

“We can use the trademark for you, but you need to pay us a license fee of 30% of the sales. We also have the right to make a priority decision on advertising...”

In a series of conditions, what else should leave them a certain number of pages, give them columns, etc., in short, it is very excessive.

After listening, Momo said "we will consider" and hung up under Lynch's instructions.

She looked at Lynch, "These demands are too much."

Lynch nodded, "Yes, they are too greedy."

"Then we..."

Lynch shook his finger and picked up the phone. It didn't take long for the legal counsel of the partnership firm of the group company to come over.

A very professional and well-known lawyer. In addition to the ace lawyer of the firm, there are also two lawyers specializing in trademark cases.

These lawyers are proficient in the trademark laws of the federal states, which is why they charge high fees, and they can provide clients with the best legal support in the shortest time.

"They won't sell us the trademark, how can we take it back?"

The first sentence made Momo and her assistant, who were sitting on the side, widen their eyes, and they couldn't turn their heads for a while.

Is this...the vision of big capitalists?

If you can't buy it and don't want to cooperate, you will take it completely?

The ace lawyer of the law firm has no surprises and no smiles. He has done a lot of similar work.

Wealth in the Commonwealth is indeed very respected, but more or less some people are very hard-boned and just don't want to bow their heads to wealth.

At this time, lawyers can play their role, and they will use legal means to force those who are unwilling to bow to wealth to be forced to bow their heads.

He looked at the material in his hand for a while, then nodded and said, "Of course, Mr. Lynch, it's not difficult at all, we just need to get the trademark into the hands of someone willing to sell it to us."

Lynch motioned for him to continue, then lit a cigarette.

"This is a small and medium-sized publishing house. They have a total of five periodic publications, and they also contract for some books to print and distribute."

"I have noticed that its business is only average ~IndoMTL.com~ The unsuccessful periodic publication has put their business into a kind of difficulty."

"It also means they don't have much liquidity, and if they get caught up in various lawsuits, it doesn't need to be too long, just high intensity..."

The ace lawyer smiled and looked at Lynch, "It may be a bit complicated to say, I mean as long as we let him go bankrupt, the bank will help us solve these problems."

"And all we have to do is find a way to bankrupt him!"

Lynch applauds ace lawyers for their quick solutions, sometimes professional things are left to professional people to do.

Actually, there are more ways for Lynch, he just shows Momo a means of capital.

We are never afraid of our opponents because we can eliminate them anytime, anywhere!

And legal, reasonable, and reasonable!

This is the real Federation!
