Forum Restaurant
Forum Restaurant () is a Cantonese restaurant officially established in 1977 at Sino Plaza, Causeway Bay, Hong Kong. Run by Hong Kong's international chef and ambassador of Chinese cuisine, Yeung Koon-yat (), it is known for its expensive abalone dishes. Yeung first opened the Forum in 1974 with some business partners, though it was not registered as a business until 1977. The restaurant struggled financially early on, and Yeung's business partners left the restaurant one-by-one until he became the sole owner of the business. Determined to make the restaurant succeed, he decided to become an expert in preparing abalone in order to make the business stand out from its competition. Yeung's abalone received positive reviews from businessmen and government officials that could afford dining at the Forum, allowing him to eventually get the opportunity to serve abalone to Deng Xiaoping in 1984. By 2020, the restaurant earned its third Michelin star. History With , chef Yeung Koon-yat ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Trade Mark Coexistence Agreement
A trademark coexistence agreement is an agreement made by two parties to use a similar trademark for marketing purposes without interfering in each other's enterprises. Agreements of this nature are often made as parties only require regional use of their trademarks, and therefore other enterprises use of a trademark will not harm their business. Coexistence agreements can potentially also involve designs, copyrights and even patents. Purpose The purpose of a trademark coexistence agreement is that often marks are used by multiple enterprises in "good faith". The absence of a formal agreement does not undermine any enterprise using the mark as they are in different global regions. However, as the enterprises grow, overlaps can develop, and both parties can have substantial rights for using the trademark. In certain cases, companies who are expanding and using the same or a similar trademark usually enter in a coexistence agreement for the purpose of avoiding usage of the trade ...
