Bruce Lee's Daughter Sues "Real KungFu" Fast Food Chain For 30 Million Dollars

Welcome to Sound of Hope News, I'm Golden Lee. Shannon Lee, the daughter of late martial art movie star Bruce Lee, is suing Real Kung Fu Fast Food in Shanghai, stating that the company used the late movie star's image as its logo without permission. The case was recently heard in Shanghai court on August 25th. Lee was seeking about 30 million US dollars in compensation. Lee first pursued the case against Real Kung Fu in 2019, asking the company to immediately stop using Bruce Lee's image. Additionally, she asked that the restaurant issues clarifications for 90 days, that the restaurant was never associated with Bruce Lee. Real Kung Fu responded on Weibo that its trademark had gone through strict reviews and was issued by the National Trademark Office, and they have used the trademark for 15 years. Real Kung Fu indicated that although there had been issues in the past, its use of the logo was approved by national authorities. Real Kung Fu was founded in 1990, serving steamed Chinese fast food. In 2004, Real Kung Fu started using Kung Fu Dragon as its brand image. The man portrayed in the logo can easily be mistaken for Bruce Lee. In fact, many out-of-town tourists thought that the restaurant was operated by Bruce Lee's family. In 2010, Shannon Lee bought the rights to her father's films and trademarks in the United States. She has taken various actions ever since to defend her rights in China, including setting up a rights protection office. She also established the Bruce Lee Enterprises to protect the copyrights and image of Bruce Lee. According to reports, Bruce Lee Enterprises has registered nearly 60 trademarks in China. This is Qin Zanwen. She is set to represent China in the 71st Miss World Contest. Qin says she has a master's degree from Shanghai Jiaotong University and worked as an analyst. Qin was declared the new Miss China on August 23rd after the incumbent was stripped of her title. The problem is the Securities Association of China has just come out and refuted her claim, insisting that Qin only holds a bachelor's degree and was never a licensed analyst. According to the WeChat public account of the competition, Qin obtained a master's degree in finance, joined several well-known companies for internships and worked as an assistant analyst at Essence Securities. The Miss World China Organizing Committee had cancelled the qualifications of the former champion Ren Yue on August 14th after the committee received a report Through investigation, it found that Ren Yue had violated the purpose of the Miss World Contest to promote world peace and set an example of excellence. No further details were given. Qin was announced as a replacement shortly after. However, Qin is neither the runner-up nor even third place. Netizens left questions saying shouldn't the runner-up make up for the finals if the winner is cancelled? And how can someone who didn't even place be chosen instead? Others said can you go through the back door when you compete for Miss World? Upset, some netizens turned to the records of the China Securities Association to find out more about Qin. They found that Qin had falsified her records. She did not obtain a master's degree like she said. She also lied about graduating from Shanghai Jiaotong University. The official website of Miss World has issued a statement saying that it will launch an investigation and appropriate action will be taken if a contestant is determined to have violated the rules.
