What sells well?

Old ideas cost the operator 8000 yuan.

In the two floor of B District, Tian Hui square, China Textile City, there are ten families in one word.

Xu Manli clearly remembered that in June 1st this year, a young girl came into her shop and carefully picked out all kinds of cloth.

After several choices, the girl bought 34 meters of curtain cloth printed with "fan Yun Sheng Xiang" pattern, at that time the price of rice was 19.5 yuan.

Soon, Xu Manli suddenly received a court summons. It was another operator in the market who brought her to court, on the ground that her last curtain cloth had copyright infringement.

Finally, under the mediation of the copyright registration and Management Office of the China Textile City in Shaoxing county (hereinafter referred to as the "copyright protection room"), Xu Manli compensated the other party for 8000 yuan. At the same time, she promised not to display and sell the curtain cloth printed with "Yun Yun Sheng Xiang" pattern.

Xu Manli said, according to the old concept, they always looked at what kind of cloth to sell, so they looked for the cloth produced by the manufacturer and never noticed the legal risks.

"You can't sell cloth anymore."

Xu Manli said.

It is precisely the urgency of the protection of patterns. In recent years, Shaoxing county has established many channels for safeguarding the rights of Chinese Textile City operators, such as the "copyright protection room" established by the industrial and commercial department, the litigation channels of the people's court, and so on.

Some business owners also tried their best to do something, such as the establishment of China Textile City Printing Industry Association. They explored the industry self-discipline and innovation rights protection in depth. The operators formed an alliance to jointly develop new patterns, promised not to copy each other, and combined to fight against piracy.

In the view of business owners, to combat such infringement, we should fight against counterfeiting from the source.

People in the "copyright protection room" said that they had made special labels for the registered patterns, which was equivalent to the access system of household appliances, reminded consumers to distinguish authenticity, and increased the cultivation of key business operators, so that more key business households could set an example and maintain the image of the textile market; in addition, they would strengthen ties with the media and increase the intensity of infringement.

The dramatic increase in copyright infringement cases has also attracted the attention of the relevant authorities in Shaoxing.

In the upcoming Convention on the protection and self-discipline of Shaoxing County General Chamber of Commerce, there are detailed and explicit rules for the compensation and restriction measures of copyright infringement. For example, there are three or more than three violations in a year.

Shaoxing County Federation of industry and Commerce responsible person said that from September 1st this year, the Convention in Ling'an chamber of Commerce and other 4 chambers of Commerce pilot, next year will consider the implementation of the market in all major chambers of Commerce, for the textile city to create a good environment for innovation.

Law firms intervene in Copyright Disputes

"Buying cloth evidence" took place 40 months in two months.

In China Light Textile City, this time, and Xu Manli also encountered many business operators.

After the reporter's investigation, it was learned that the staff of the law firm had intervened in the pattern copyright dispute. They accepted the agent's entrustment of the business owner, and in accordance with the designation of the operating households, they sought the operators who had infringed the copyright infringement in the market, and then purchased evidence. Sometimes, they would ask the notary authorities to collect evidence together, and then they would report the infringement to the court.

"There are more than 40 cases of copyright infringement cases handled by our law firm in the past two months, of which more than 10 cases have been closed."

Shaoxing County Keqiao a law firm responsible person said.

As such cases are more common in the Textile City, a law firm in Keqiao, Shaoxing, has also set up a "intellectual property protection and rights protection" related body, "contract" copyright infringement business.

"A business owner who has been infringed will win the lawsuit, and will surely spread in the circle of friends and follow suit."

The company official said.

There was a typical case in the Textile City, and Ms. Chan spent more than twenty thousand yuan to figure out a pattern, but it was counterfeited by more than 10 other households in the market.

Ms. Chen looked for the theory of the counterfeiters, and the other side ignored them.

In desperation, Ms. Chen hired lawyers to bring all these business owners to court, which only safeguarded their legitimate rights and interests.

Ms Chan's initiatives have led friends around the country to the courts.
