ROY follows a complicated case process
During site checks in early June 2018, our investigation team discovered a factory located in Dali Town, Nanhai District, Foshan City, Guangdong Province, finding them in the process of producing counterfeit garment of our client FILA. We learned that the owner of this plant, named Anwen Liu, had started the business extensively in that April. After reporting to the local authorities upon approval of our client, soon on June 28th , 2018 we coordinated a raid with the police against the target plant, with the boss Anwen Liu captured on scene and 10,400 pieces of FILA clothes confiscated, which was an astonishingly large seizure amount.
On September 29th , 2019, the People’s Court of the Nanhai District, Foshan City sentenced the principal, Anwen Liu, who was accused of counterfeiting registered trademark, to three years in prison, four years on probation and fined 50,000 yuan. Our efforts had effectively protected our client’s business interests as the trademark right holder.
