With the advent of the Internet climax. The scale of online shopping users has been increasing, especially since the outbreak of COVID-19 epidemic abroad in 2020, the living radius of a large number of overseas consumers has been greatly shortened, and consumer demand has been accelerated from offline to online, which will bring new opportunities for the development of cross-border e-commerce, showing a contrarian growth trend.
However, while facing opportunities, there are also certain risks. For example, for shop sellers who have just engaged in foreign trade on cross-border e-commerce platforms, the most frightening thing is undoubtedly the issue of infringement. Therefore, we should always screen whether the goods we sell are the same or similar to the authorized products, even a small element or pattern, or a descriptive word may involve infringement and the product is frozen. Today we are going to share the infringed brand, which I believe is familiar to everyone, and that is the well-known Swarovski.
