A:
Obtaining the rights to use the name Willy Wonka and the Wonka bar can be a complex process, as it involves negotiating with the owners of the intellectual property rights associated with the name and the brand. In this case, the owners would likely be the estate of Roald Dahl and the companies that have acquired the rights to use the Willy Wonka and Wonka Bar trademarks.
To begin the process, you may need to consult with an attorney who specializes in intellectual property law to help you identify the owners of the relevant rights and negotiate the licensing agreement. You may also need to develop a business plan for your proposed restaurant and bar, including your proposed use of the Willy Wonka and Wonka Bar names and how they would fit into your overall concept.
Once you have identified the owners of the relevant rights, you can approach them with a proposal for a licensing agreement. The terms of the agreement will depend on the specific circumstances, such as the intended use of the name and the geographic scope of the license. The negotiation process can take some time, so it's important to be patient and flexible as you work to reach an agreement that is mutually beneficial.
