It seems Vietnamese Skin Center accidentally used Umbrella Corps logo from Resident Evil when they tried to advertise their company so this picture is parody of this incident.
In this day and age, with information right at our fingertips, it's intriguingly surprising that something like could even happen. There are websites that serves to compare existing logos, even fictional ones, to prevent this, primarily for legal reasons. I recall how a company I worked for once, was making a logo for a product and they ran it through the site and even asked professionals to cross-check for any similarities. Simply submitting the logo online, like, say Reddit and asking people if they had seen the logo before taking it into use, would easily have produced sufficient feedback to warn them about the Biohazard series.
Needless to say, this is hilarious. You can barely even make this kind of stuff up, these days!

The answer is simple, sometimes people just don't care. Not about copyrights, not about originality. You think anyone even considered hiring a logo designer? Probably, some higher up in that place said: "Tell you what, I know a very cool logo, let't use it!" And they did, just like that.

Its not just higher ups, nor is it just countries with weak copyright laws.

Could easily be something along those lines yeah. The bonus effect of doing so, is added publicity.
I do, but this was merely a newspaper article where the editor was just lazy and picked the first image off the net, then sent it off to the print and the damage was done, albeit a one-time thing that would simply fade away over time. Mistakes happen, but the severity may differ, like when North Korea was represented with South Korean flag at the OL, stuff like that. This however, is a permanent logo to represent a company or a clinic, so a bit more caution should be exercised here.

There's a difference between laziness and incompetence. People for some bizarre reason assume that a large, faceless multinational corporation will automatically be filled with the most talented people making rational decisions based upon well-researched data in a cold, calculating pursuit of their bottom line, but oftentimes, they're often filled with dudebro meatheads who got promoted because their boss liked the cleft in their extra-square jaws, and are often prone to making decisions based upon whoever is the loudest, most forceful voice in the room, regardless of actual expertise.
In this case, it's likely that the clinic's (media illiterate) upper management told someone to find a good logo for their company, the person put in charge came up with this from a quick Google search without a care for it already being taken, or as a sheer prank because their resume just got accepted at a different company, and nobody noticed where the logo came from until after it was all over the Internet.
well if that Vietnamese Skin Clinic is indeed what it is you can say Umbrella corps does exist in reality... after all they this is how their operations started making skin care products with some weird viral-laced rejuvenating cream, which in turn gave birth to the first-aid spray known in the games and it simply went downhill from there as we know of Racoon City incident, this is pretty much an event waiting to happen who knows if those skin care cream were extracted from leeches which is pretty much an event waiting to happen. depending on what happens next it can be said it would be inserted into the hilarious in hindsight, or harsher in hindsight... if a zombie apocalypse would start in Vietnam or not...

Dammit. I knew I should've bought that shotgun I saw on sale a few months back...
Then again, if Capcom is as competent as it is, the clinic's gonna be facing down a whole line of lawsuit before the year is up.
