The number of defendants in the LV Nanjing crackdown on counterfeit goods rose to 19 Dunhill, Colombia, etc brand Another lawsuit

LV's lawsuit for safeguarding rights in Nanjing was very noisy. The reporter learned from the Municipal Intermediate Court yesterday that the number of businesses sued by LV has risen to 19; In addition, the rights protection cases of British Dunhill, American Columbia and other brands have also been filed in the municipal intermediate court. In addition to the cases of Microsoft and Bayer Pharmaceuticals in the United States at the beginning of this year, nearly 100 cases of "foreign brands" have been accepted by the municipal courts since this year, far more than in previous years.

It is understood that the malls sued by LV Company include Laidi Square, Taotao Lane shopping district, Huanbei Market and more than ten small traders. At present, these cases have been held in court one after another. The people in the Third Civil Division of the Municipal Intermediate Court laughingly said that the July and August this year must be "LV special sessions". The court will make a centralized judgment after all cases involving LV have been heard.

Not only LV, but also Columbia, another American brand, launched a large-scale lawsuit in Nanjing, with 36 defendant businesses, mainly some fashion shopping malls and big markets. It is understood that "Columbia" is a world famous high-end outdoor leisure brand. The famous British menswear brand "Dunhill" was sued to the court because a hotel in our city sold clothes marked "Dunhill" without permission. In addition, the German clothing brand Puma is also suing in our city court.

These are only "foreign brand" rights protection cases filed or held in the municipal intermediate court at present. In fact, since last year, "foreign brand" rights protection style has begun to appear. First, Microsoft sued many enterprises in our city for using pirated Windows operating system and Office software, and these enterprises were fined hundreds of thousands of yuan; Then, American Marriott Hotel, Cartier Jewelry, Bayer, Lafarge and many other well-known brands launched intellectual property litigation in succession.

Swiss Cartier, a famous jewelry and watch luxury brand, sued a chain hairdressing shop on the streets of Nanjing for using the word "Cartier". The court ordered the hairdressing shop to immediately stop the infringement and compensate 30000 yuan. A hotel in our city was sued by American Marriott Group for using the word "Marriott" on its signboard; More than 30 decoration cities in Nanjing were collectively sued by this internationally renowned building materials brand for selling fake French "Lafarge" building materials.

"These foreign brands that initiated rights protection lawsuits mainly focus on clothing, which is probably the most serious area of infringement at present, from luxury goods to leisure clothing." Yao Bingbing, president of the Third People's Court of the Municipal Intermediate People's Court, said that the serious infringement phenomenon in this field may be related to people's consumption concept, and many people are concerned about whether the goods in the food and drug fields are "authentic", For clothing brands, there are indeed some people who "know the fake and buy the fake", which has contributed to the proliferation of fake goods in the clothing field to a certain extent.
