The official WeChat account of the Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau reported on March 21. In early March, Shanghai Municipal Public Security Bureau Changning Branch Zhoujiaqiao Police Station received a report from the public saying that a number of branded clothing with well-known cartoon images were sold on an online shopping platform. The price is less than half of the retail price.

After investigation, the well-known cartoon image and its iconic "tail" have been registered for industry and commerce by the copyright owner. Zhang and the others used the cartoon image's "tail" without authorization. Selling under the name of a well-known brand clothing, the amount involved is nearly 1.4 million yuan.

At present, four suspects have been criminally detained in accordance with the law on suspicion of selling counterfeit registered trademark products, and the case is under further trial.

The police reminded: Popular cartoon images are intangible assets with great commercial significance. After the entire or part of the iconic features have been registered with industry and commerce, the legal rights of their copyright owners are protected by law. Any copying, information network dissemination, exhibition, etc. must be legally authorized, and registered trademarks are not allowed to be used without permission
