Rebirth: Rewriting Youth

Chapter 321 A Home for Two

The days slip through your fingertips like quicksand, and every morning glow and evening sunset silently tell the passage of time.

Shen Yu's days became increasingly busy.

In addition to the patent registration for the cup lid, Shen Yu focused his main energy on the important matter of trademark registration this week.

After all, in China, the story of the true and false Monkey King is always repeated.

Many restaurant brands have encountered trademark wars, with counterfeits appearing frequently and real and fake brands mixed together.

For example, the real and fake Bao Shifu went to court, suing each other for infringement. However, after spending several years and countless dollars, the "real and fake Bao Shifu" is still a Rashomon in the eyes of the public.

Of course, there is also Nie Yuncheng's Royal Tea, which was unable to protect its rights because it failed to check the trademark and apply for trademark registration in time. Unable to bear the trouble of counterfeiting, it finally had to change its name and spent more money to reshape its brand image.

Fortunately, Heytea finally got out of the siege, but the most regrettable brand in the tea industry is Luckin Coffee.

At that time, the founder of Luckin Coffee seriously underestimated the time process for trademark registration in mainland China and only left one month for this step.

This resulted in a phenomenal collective registration event.

In a short period of time, more than 2000 companies and individuals across the country applied for more than 5000 Luckin Coffee trademarks.

At its peak, there were approximately 7 Luckin Coffee shops across the country, but there were only 114 actual stores.

After more than two years of struggle and spending nearly 43 million yuan, the genuine Luckin Coffee finally won the registration rights for the rd category of trademarks. However, it has obviously missed the best time for the explosive development of the milk tea industry, and finally had no choice but to disappear in the torrent.

As a person who has experienced this in the future, Shen Yu will definitely learn from past experiences and avoid these hidden dangers in advance from future cases.

So when he had no classes, Shen Yu took the information and went to the Trademark Office.

A copy of your ID card, the design of your trademark, a trademark registration application with your signature, and a copy of your company's business license. There is no problem with these materials, and there is no problem with the search on the official website.

With the help of the staff, Shen Yu submitted an application for national trademark registration, paid the fee, and the next step was to wait.

About 3 months after submitting the application, the Trademark Office will issue you an application acceptance notice (this period is called the formal examination stage).

After the formal review is completed, the substantive review stage will begin, which will take about 9 months.

If the substantive examination is passed, it will enter the announcement procedure (this period is 3 months, also known as the objection period). Only when no one raises an objection after the announcement period expires can the registration certificate be obtained.

Therefore, trademark registration is a very cumbersome matter.

As for international trademarks, Shen Yu inquired with the people at the Trademark Office. Because it needed to be registered country by country, and it was expensive and extremely cumbersome, Shen Yu temporarily gave up the idea.

The staff of the Trademark Office also took the opportunity to recommend a trademark registration agency, and Shen Yu politely saved the contact information.

After registering the trademark, Shen Yu still felt uneasy when he returned to school.

Thinking of the copycat brands like Kangshoufu, Leibi, Maijie, etc., to be on the safe side, Shen Yu simply registered a series of trademarks of the same type and with similar meanings, such as Fushengruocha, Fusheng Tea, Fusheng Milk Tea, Fushengmeng Tea, Fuyunding Tea, etc.

Of course, not to mention the time cost, the money cost has also increased a lot.

The week flew by.

On the weekend, Han Shuang excitedly rushed to Jiankang because some of the furniture at home had arrived and needed to be installed on site.

Because the overall structure of the shop was almost completed, Shen Yu wanted to keep an eye on the store for a while longer, so he planned to let Han Shuang go to the new house alone to watch the installation by the visiting master.

But Han Shuang was a little unhappy. She held Shen Yu's hand and complained, "Are you so confident that I can stay in the same house with a group of male masters?"

Shen Yu looked at Han Shuang's increasingly delicate and natural face, and then realized that this girl was no longer the ordinary-looking Han Shuang in high school. Han Shuang now had a ruddy complexion and was always smiling. With light makeup and decent clothes, she looked like a blooming flower.

Shen Yu hesitated for a moment, because Shi Mingfei had gone to another construction site, and no reliable person was watching the site, so he replied: "You see, I'm quite busy here, I have to keep a close eye on it. Besides, in this society ruled by law, there aren't so many bad people."

"I don't care. That's your home after all. Just go with me." Han Shuang said coquettishly, shaking Shen Yu's arm.

Shen Yu pondered for a moment, could only sigh silently, and said helplessly: "Okay, then I'll go with you."

He took out his cell phone and sent a message to Shi Mingfei, asking him to help take a closer look. Then Shen Yu drove to Dongfang Tianjun with Han Shuang.

It took me almost an entire afternoon to finish the bathroom hardware, lighting installation, curtains, and installation of range hoods and stoves.

Because she had an appointment for home appliances to be delivered the next day, Han Shuang did not return to school and stayed directly in Jiankang.

The delivery of home appliances the next day was still rather cumbersome. Apart from the wall-mounting of the water heater and the TV, the most troublesome thing was the installation of the air conditioner.

Although air conditioners are generally installed and don't need to be moved for ten years, every time I see an air conditioner in Shen Yu's place, I feel that this is really an anti-human design. Whether it is installation or maintenance, it is extremely difficult.

At present, the designs of most houses in the country are basically unreasonable. They only focus on the appearance and ignore the location of the air conditioner. The process of installing the air conditioner is always full of dangers.

Since there is no standardized and clear standard for the design of air conditioner positions, most residential housing designs obviously have huge defects, making it difficult to install the air conditioner outdoor unit normally in the reserved position.

The fate of the installer is completely handed over to a rope. Like Spider-Man, he can climb walls and run over rooftops. It only takes a few minutes for him to fall down! A rope ties up a family. Every year, there are many accidents of air conditioner workers falling from buildings, but people still don't pay enough attention to them.

Two busy days.

After all the installation masters left, Han Shuang watched this small home being filled up bit by bit, and then slowly becoming what she wanted. She walked slowly in her new home with her hands behind her back, smiling, and constantly imagining the happy time they would spend together in the future.

"Shen Yu, after the new house is renovated, how about I invite my roommates over to work in the house?" Han Shuang walked around and said excitedly.

Compared to Han Shuang, Shen Yu was obviously much calmer.

"Sure, but can you cook?" Shen Yu asked back.

"Well, I can learn that." Han Shuang shrank her neck and replied, "Then can you cook?"

"Me? My skills are just average. I can cook a few dishes, but not a whole table of dishes." Shen Yu hesitated and replied.

"Then why not go out for a meal?" Han Shuang suggested, "By the way, call your roommates along, we can have a social gathering."

"Okay." Shen Yu nodded in response.

With Shen Yu's approval, Han Shuang couldn't help but smile from the bottom of her heart.

Han Shuang took a few quick steps towards Shen Yu, and put her arms around Shen Yu's waist. Then she raised her head and looked at Shen Yu affectionately, and asked carefully: "Shen Yu, we will be together for the rest of our lives, right?"

Shen Yu couldn't help but feel dazed.

At that moment, Shen Yu couldn't help but feel dazed, as if the whole world had quieted down, with only Han Shuang's voice echoing in his ears.

Her eyes were so sincere, Shen Yu could clearly feel the genuine emotion in her words.

After a brief moment of daze, Shen Yu couldn't help but feel moved.

Lifting his hanging hands, he gently embraced Han Shuang in his arms, stroking Han Shuang's hair with one hand. Shen Yu nodded in response:

"Ah."
