China Business Daily News: "Monopoly stores" are set up in prime locations of large shopping malls, and brand clothing with prices ranging from hundreds of yuan to thousands of yuan are all "counterfeit goods"! Recently, Mount Huangshan Administration for Industry and Commerce in Mount Huangshan, Anhui Province, seized a case of infringement of the exclusive right to use a registered trademark in a "brand clothing store" in Huangshan Pacific Shopping Center, and seized 390 clothes, hats and bags suspected of trademark infringement, marked with the letters BOY LONDON and the eagle pattern on the spot, involving more than 200000 yuan.
On January 29, the Economic Inspection and Law Enforcement Bureau of Mount Huangshan Administration for Industry and Commerce conducted a surprise inspection on a brand clothing store on the first floor of Mount Huangshan Pacific Shopping Center according to the tip off clues. The electronic screen on the storefront of the store displays the BOY LONDON letter symbol, the BOY logo is lit in the center of the store, and the notice board at the entrance of the store reads "BOY LONDON is 20% off for the whole store", resembling a brand clothing specialty store. The clothing, hats, bags, product tags, price tags, hangers, and VIP cards in the 100 square meter store are all labeled with the letters or graphic combinations of BOY LONDON and Eagle. There are Chinese and English labels on the clothing hang tags, which read: headquarters ZENOSS APPARELIN C, manufacturer Yancheng Boyang Clothing Co., Ltd., located at No. 2 East Road, Haitong Town, Sheyang County, Jiangsu Province.
Law enforcement officers found during on-site inspections that the store did not have a business license. The business license provided by the store when signing with Pacific Shopping Center was from Suzhou Shangbo Sports Co., Ltd. Its business scope includes sports goods, office supplies, clothing, shoes and hats, cultural goods, handicrafts, fitness equipment, sports equipment sales, etc. It was obtained from the Market Supervision Bureau of Wujiang District, Suzhou on April 5, 2017. When law enforcement officers requested the presentation of authorization documents for the brand store, the store manager said that these goods were all purchased from Nanjing, Jiangsu and could not obtain the BOY LONDON brand authorization documents.
It is understood that the trademark owner, Anglo United Kingdom, has registered the combination of BOY LONDON and Eagle letters and graphics in China. Shanghai Fanjin Investment Management Co., Ltd. is the general agent of Chaopai BOY LONDON in China, and the brand's clothing can generally only be purchased in specialty stores. After investigation, the products sold in this store are similar in name, letter combination, and graphics to the trendy brand BOY LONDON products, which is enough to cause confusion among consumers. Law enforcement personnel shall, in accordance with the law, count and detain the goods involved in the case, and require the shop owner to bring relevant trademark registration proof materials to the industrial and commercial department for further investigation.
The person in charge of the Economic Inspection and Law Enforcement Bureau of Mount Huangshan Administration for Industry and Commerce said that the industry and commerce department will track the source of these commodities in accordance with relevant regulations, and further investigate and collect evidence. If the source of infringement is found, it will be investigated or transferred to relevant departments in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. The law enforcement personnel of the bureau remind Mount Huangshan Pacific Shopping Center, as the market initiator and manager, to carry out qualification review on the merchants stationed in the market in accordance with the provisions of relevant laws and regulations, and stop the acts of infringing on the exclusive right of others to use registered trademarks in the market. Otherwise, if there is a problem that is difficult to recover, the shopping center will bear joint and several liability for compensation for the infringement.
