In Tianjin we are just now starting to get more Western stores and food places such as Subways, 7 Elevens, H&M clothe store, and Dairy Queen. My siblings and I were excited when it was finally Friday and we were able to go the Bing Jiang Dao, a popular shopping street in Tianjin, to the newly opened H&M clothing store. Unfortunately, because it had just opened there was a waiting line to get in! So instead we just walked down the shopping street, mainly window shopping. It was getting late and as we started to head home I spotted what I first thought was a Dairy Queen, but actually turned out to be a Mango Queen. The sign was in the same font, colors, and size. Though I didn’t try their food because I hadn’t eaten dinner yet, I’m pretty convinced that the menu was very similar to that of Dairy Queen. The whole experience left me wondering… “Can companies protect their trade’s mark here?” …

If you look at the menu in the background you will see that it is very similar to that of Dairy Queen’s.
