Thai police seized tens of thousands of fake Starbucks cups! Take a look at the Buck cup and its surrounding products in your hand. Is it true?! ‍

With the continuous development of science and technology and the Internet, the Internet has penetrated into all aspects of our lives. Online payment, online payment and online shopping have also become an indispensable part of our lives. Its relevant laws and regulations are also constantly improving, so that everyone can be guaranteed online shopping at the same time.

However, driven by huge profits, lawbreakers always have a variety of ways to deal with them. in recent years, it is not uncommon for illegal enterprises or groups to find domestic counterfeiting manufacturers to buy products at low prices, and then make a profit by selling them overseas at high prices.

Recently, Thai police have cracked a case of counterfeiting Starbucks products sold overseas. Thai police and relevant staff of the intellectual property Office of the Ministry of Commerce have arrested four suspects on suspicion of selling pirated products. In the course of the search, the police seized 10000 Starbucks coffee cups, thermos, boxes and other stolen goods, involving more than 5 million baht (about 960000 yuan).

It is understood that the Thai police had received a report from Starbucks that someone was selling pirated Starbucks coffee cups, insulation cups and other goods on well-known online shopping platforms. after receiving the report, the police could open a case investigation and successfully found the gang's pirated product warehouse in a luxury residential area in Bangkok according to clues.

The arrested people confessed that the pirated coffee cups and other products they sold on the online shopping platform were purchased from China and were sold mainly through the online platform. The Thai police will further investigate and dispose of the gang in accordance with the law, and the final result has not yet been announced. I have to say that this group is really not very smart, so many brands have to choose such a well-known brand to fake and sell. Of course, even low-profile ones are not allowed! Do not try to imitate any of the products produced by regular manufacturers, because their comprehensive protection of intellectual property rights is unexpected!

Starbucks as a world-famous coffee chain brand, far away from the national scope does not mean that no one has imposed sanctions on it in other countries, not to mention that it is a big IP of a global brand, and it is known that the property department and legal department are not vegetarian. ‍

According to Article 214 of the Criminal Law, "whoever sells goods that are knowingly counterfeit registered trademarks shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and concurrently or independently be sentenced to a fine; if the amount of sales is huge, shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years and not more than seven years, and concurrently be sentenced to a fine."

Manufacturing and selling fake goods, both enterprises and individuals, have seriously violated the consumers' right to know, the right to choose, the right to fair trade and the right to security stipulated in the Consumer Rights and interests Protection Law. Do not try to touch the bottom line of the law!
