4800 Pairs Of Tourist Shoes Were Intercepted For Infringement Of Olympic Logo Exclusive Rights

Reporters recently learned from the Shanghai customs that 4800 double labeled "Beijing 2008" shoes were intercepted by the Customs on suspicion of infringing the exclusive rights of the Olympic logo.

This is the largest export case suspected of infringing the Olympic logo exclusive rights goods seized by Shanghai customs this year.

In June 17th, Shanghai Yangshan customs inspected customs officers to inspect a group of tourist shoes exported from a Qingdao company to Ecuador, and found that the travel shoes were marked with the word "Beijing 2008".

On site inspection, the customs officer was keenly aware that the goods were likely to be suspected of infringement. He immediately informed the Organizing Committee of the twenty-ninth Olympic Games.

The rights of the organizers of the OCOG confirmed that the goods were infringing and applied for customs custody of the suspected infringing goods.

"Since the promulgation of the regulations on the protection of Olympic symbols in 2002, the Shanghai customs has attached great importance to the protection of the logo. 14 cases of infringement of the Olympic logo exclusive rights have been investigated, and more than 33000 pieces of infringing goods have been seized. Most of the infringing goods are clothing, footwear, self driving, vehicle accessories and so on.

Shanghai customs Deputy Commissioner Chen Xudong told reporters.

Just 10 days before the seizure of infringing tourist shoes, Shanghai customs successfully intercepted 1440 locks that were suspected of violating the "five rings" Olympic logo exclusive right to be exported to Chile by a Huaian company.
