as per old TM law, though TM of Wahaha not offical transferred and still belong to Hangzhou Wahaha group. Subject to JV agreement executed , the true intention of Wahaha is to transfer the TM of Wahaha to new set-up joint-venture. thus, according to New labor contract promulaged in 1999, if the said transaction not violated compulsive laws & regulations, it shall be deemed effective and binding to both of the Parties. I am of the opinion that Zong Qinhou will absolutly lose the said arbitation in Sweden and litigation in USA. but for the arbitration in Hangzhou, I worry it will be affected by local government. Though, Senior manager of Danone was sued in Shengyang on the grouds of violation of obilation for the probition of business strife, but meantime Zong qinhou also hold soem position in non JV which has a competitive business wtih JV. I estimate that if this issue can not be conciliated then it will last at least 1 to 2 yesrs to an end.
Let wait in patient for the final result. |
