257 million dollars in brand fraud lawsuit
Yesterday morning, the United States Illinois State Federal Court on the website of the sale of counterfeit coach goods of individuals and businesses filed in litigation, http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/aggregation/18202.html "> Fashion brand coach won 257 million dollars in compensation for the defendant's absence. The ruling also awarded the owner of the Internet domain name of the 573 websites illegally operated by the defendant to coach.
The verdict was the latest victory for coach in the anti-counterfeiting operation. Coach launched a comprehensive anti counterfeiting lawsuit called "Twist Turnlock" in May 2009. The Twist Turnlock action is aimed at increasing the difficulty of selling counterfeit goods and cracking down on any copycat activity.
"In addition to the award, Coach's access to Internet domain names used by defendants in illegal operations is also a major success," said Nancy Axilrod, vice president and deputy director of coach. All the illegal web sites that the defendants run with the "Coach" Internet domain name may confuse consumers, making them false that they are buying genuine coach merchandise. ”
Since the start of the Twist Turnlock operation, coach has filed lawsuits against the majority of participants in all parts of the counterfeit supply chain, including manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, web operators, and low-cost market operators and owners who provide trafficking sites to counterfeit commodity operators, and made considerable cash compensation.
It is reported that the headquarters of the New York coach's products include handbags, men's small leather goods, perfume, jewelry and related accessories. Coach's products are sold worldwide through coach stores, designated department stores, specialty stores and coach websites.
