Kaws’ creative carrier is mainly on advertising paintings or posters. Kaws founded Original Fake, a street fashion brand, and used all kinds of unique Kaws-style representative elements to extend into clothing and enter the trend clothing market. It was once co-branded with NIKE, Uniqlo and other brands. At present, it is loved by the masses in China, and there are various peripheral products related to it. However, many sellers have not been granted the copyright of the brand. In August this year, THOITS LAW, the agency of the brand, initiated a lawsuit to protect their rights, which led to many sellers’ unfortunate lawsuits and even freezing their accounts! Therefore, Mai Jia supports reminding sellers to pay attention to whether there is any infringement when selecting products. If there is any similarity, please take it off the shelf immediately to avoid huge compensation!
