Speaking at a press briefing on Wednesday, Dale Carnegie Vietnam said that Hieu had to make a public apology for his violations.
Hieu had worked at Dale Carnegie Vietnam since 2007 as one of the first 15 trainers of the school. In 2009, some customers reported that Hieu had been using the school’s syllabuses to provide training to outside students, which went against commitments between Dale Carnegie and trainers.
In 2010, Hieu admitted his faults after Dale Carnegie warned him of copyright violations. However, he opened NHR Company in 2011 and copied Dale Carnegie’s syllabuses to launch training courses with tuition at just 50% of that of Dale Carnegie.
Having collected proofs, Dale Carnegie Vietnam brought the case to the HCMC People’s Court on February 13.
Lawyer Nguyen Van Nam, legal representative of Dale Carnegie Vietnam in the lawsuit, said that the petitioner did not ask for compensation but requested Hieu to admit his violations, make a public apology in local media and pledge not to repeat his faults.
Dale Carnegie has created a completed program from training to trainer certification. The program is protected by laws, but risks have still occurred with trainers pirating syllabuses for personal benefits, Nam said.
“We have filed the lawsuit basing on Vietnamese laws. We would take drastic measures to raise awareness on piracy in the country,” he added.
