2 Frenchman (BRUNO DUBIGEON & THOMAS HERBAUT) Jailed 1 Year for Running Illegal Smile Mart in Phnom Penh
Two French Businessmen sentenced to one year in jail
20 March 2018
The Phnom Penh Municipal Court on Tuesday found two French businessmen guilty of breaching the company’s trademark from 2012 to 2015 and sentenced them in absentia each to one year in prison.
Mr. Pich Vicheathor, judge at the Phnom Penh Municipal Court, said that the two Frenchmen were identified as Bruno Rene Marie, President of Smile Dragon Asia Limited and his vice president Thomas Herbaut, 45. Both of them remain at large.
Mr. Pich Vicheathor said the two Frenchmen were charged with “breach of trademark” under article 65 of Law on Trademark and Act of Unfair Competition of Cambodia.
“The court orders the judicial police to arrest the accused and bring them to show up in front of the prosecutor,” Judge Vicheathor said.
According to the court’s document, Mr. Bruno Rene Marie and Mr. Thomas Herbaut were shareholders of Smile Dragon Asia Limited, a company they formed in 2011 to operate Mini Marts in Phnom Penh.

Be careful, they are still at large. They will probably try to copy a local business this time. It could be a tire shop, hairdressers, burger chain, or who knows.?

Either they copied the sign exactly or that's an actual Smile Mart in the Post article.

It looks like the one on 163 near Wat Moha Montrei. Hopefully it's not one of the counterfeit shops as it's only been there a few months and is the best stocked mini mart in the area, which really only highlights how shit the others around Olympic/bkk2/3 are.cptrelentless wrote:Either they copied the sign exactly or that's an actual Smile Mart in the Post article.

Isn't Smile Mart owned by the same guy who owns Super Duper and once reportedly tried to extort $2,000 from a shoplifter?
I wonder where this great defender of intellectual property rights got the idea for the design of his mini marts with thin stripe, thick stripe, thin stripe and use of orange and green. with the stripe decal cross the window?
How dare these Frenchies copy my copy of 7-Eleven!
