"Friends Circle" Sold Fake "Brand" Bags Were Fined

WeChat sells "famous brand" bags in the "friends circle".

Very low prices tell people the obvious fact that they are not true.

A few days ago, the people's Court of Pudong New Area, Shanghai tried to find intellectual property criminal cases. Many of the defendants had the right job. They sold bags in the "friends circle" to earn pocket money, and their concept of intellectual property protection was weak. Few people realized that selling a holiday would be prosecuted for criminal responsibility.

Wang and Huang worked in the same company. The two were still good brothers who lived together.

Seeing the popularity of all kinds of merchandise in the "friends circle", two people had nothing to do with each other, and decided to start their own "entrepreneurial" road to earn some pocket money.

So, the two people released photos of all kinds of fake brand bags and watches from the WeChat mobile platform, and sold them in temporary residence.

Soon, two people were arrested by the police.

On the spot, the police seized two counterfeit LV belts, two LV bags, 4 PRADA bags, 1 PRADA billboards, 1 TUDOR watches, 1 AP watches, 1 1 Cartier watches, two 1 MONTBLANC watches and two two ROLEX watches.

According to the middle market price of the infringing goods, the value of the goods involved is worth 537 thousand and 600 yuan.

The court held that the accused had already begun to commit the crime and failed to succeed because of reasons other than his will. He was guilty of attempted crime and was punished according to law according to the accomplished offender.

The defendant voluntarily pleaded guilty, truthfully confessed his crime, and gave him a lighter punishment according to law.

Accordingly, the court made a penalty of two yuan for each of the 1000 defendants in the crime of selling counterfeit registered trademarks.

Feng Xiang, chief judge of the case, told reporters that WeChat's circle of friends in Pudong, Shanghai.

Criminal cases have some common characteristics: first, the same place of purchase; the counterfeit goods are shipped from other provinces; the two is the same way of purchase, which is directly purchased on the Internet; three, when the defendants purchase goods, they know they are buying fake goods, that is, as long as the price is low, or marked overseas purchasing, high imitation, the original alone will be fine; four is the right thing to do.

The "friend circle" is just a display platform. After the buyer is optimistic about the merchandise, he will contact the defendant through WeChat, see the goods and cash pactions at the scene.

Feng Xiang said, "WeChat."

This way of "spot goods and cash pactions" also brings difficulties to trial practice.

"It is neither like Taobao stores or Tmall stores, nor is it like Jingdong or Amazon. There is no sales record in the" friends circle ", which makes it difficult to find out the actual sales situation of the defendant.

Feng Xiang warned those who want to rush for gold in the "friends circle". Selling fake goods is a violation of intellectual property rights. According to the law, sales of goods that are knowingly counterfeited registered trademarks are subject to imprisonment of three years or criminal detention, and they are punished or punished. The amount of sales is huge, and they are sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than seven years, and are also fined.

Those who sell the goods should be alert in time.
