In recent years, with the awakening of brand awareness of property rights, more and more brands have registered trademarks, patents and copyrights to protect their rights and interests from losses. Previously, the plaintiff would publish his patents, copyrights, trademarks and other information involved when filing a case. This provides opportunities for cross-border e-commerce to avoid risks and reduce losses. But now, the plaintiff is becoming more and more savvy. They chose to seal the information in the filing stage and do it in a hidden way, which made many cross-border sellers unprepared.
Take the StripHair pet brush represented by Sriplaw Law Firm as an example. The company began to lay out its patents, trademarks and copyrights as early as 2019, and it will be certified around 2022. Although the case was filed on June 22, 2023, it was not until nearly three months later that the news was gradually known to the public. The number of sellers involved is as high as 1099, and the evidence collection materials reach 2910 pages. And the case involves a number of large platforms, such as Amazon, Alibaba, AliExpress, eBay, Wal-Mart, Wish and so on. Its large scale, high amount of funds frozen, wide platform involved and the coverage of intellectual property rights are all shocking. At present, the case has entered the preliminary application stage of PI injunction. Considering the rigorous style of Sriplaw Law Firm, if these 1099 stores want to resume their business through reconciliation, they must respond in time to avoid the deduction of funds due to absence.
