Taobao shop is complained of intellectual property infringement, will it claim compensation?

What should Taobao do if it receives an intellectual property complaint?

If you look closely, you can see at a glance that it's fake, big name.

It's a relatively low-level imitation, and the genuine product is a bit expensive.

It is normal that many shopkeepers have never bought genuine products themselves. As the owner of Taobao, not many people buy such a big brand.

Some shopkeepers don't know what grade their products are and what brand they are selling, so they put them on Taobao shops. What can they do? It is lucky to be complained by the intellectual property rights protection platform, that is, to delete the baby, and some stores will deduct points.

Some shopkeepers are not so lucky and will be sued by offline courts for rights protection claims.

Never ask the obligee. It is very expensive for the court to sue for rights protection, but the fact is just the opposite. Generally, it will be outsourced to intellectual property commercial rights protection companies and use all-insurance agents. The court ruled that tort compensation will be divided into cooperation modes. There is no cost for the obligee to sue in court, but the tort compensation is profitable.

How to deal with the complaints of intellectual property rights complained by Taobao (specific ways and means)?

The general intellectual property complaint is that the products sold in your store have trademark, copyright and patent infringement.

Will Taobao shop lose money after being successfully complained about intellectual property infringement by an online school?

On Taobao, I was complained of intellectual property infringement by the online school. I don't need to lose money if the complaint is passed. Generally, the complaint mechanism of Taobao's intellectual property platform only penalizes stores such as deducting points, deleting links, removing shelves and closing stores, and does not involve claims. You can rest assured of that.

However, complaints about intellectual property infringement will definitely affect shops, infringing goods will be banned from shelves, and their shops will be deducted or even retired. So it's best not to sell goods that infringe other people's intellectual property rights. If the other party only complains about your intellectual property infringement on Taobao platform, the main purpose should be to stop your infringement and remove the infringing goods from the shelves. As for whether there are other requirements in the follow-up, it depends on whether there is any compensation after the online school.

In the face of this situation, don't panic, as long as it is handled in time and properly, the general problem will not be great.

First of all, you can try to complain to Taobao and submit the formal purchase channel certificate or other provable evidence of your products. However, if there are already infringement facts and the other party can provide more convincing evidence, then the complaint is likely to be rejected. We suggest that you take off the infringing goods as soon as possible to show that you have corrected your attitude. Online schools don't ask for compensation, and they don't need compensation, but not claiming now doesn't mean not claiming in the future. If the online school claims, it depends on whether it is settled through private consultation or through legal channels.

After that, I took the initiative to communicate with the online school, saying that I knew the mistake and had a correct attitude. As long as the infringement is not continued in the future, it will be over in most cases. However, if the online school has the purpose of claiming compensation and wants to settle it privately, it is also an acceptable way, but it is best to negotiate compensation through formal procedures. However, if the online school puts forward an obviously excessive and unreasonable amount of compensation during negotiation and communication, and maliciously asks for high compensation when the infringement is not too serious, it is best not to agree and stop the infringement as soon as possible. Then pick up the platform's official rights weapons and legal weapons to safeguard their legitimate rights and interests. If it is a big event, we will go to court together, and the judge will bear the ultimate responsibility. In this case, you need to actively respond to the lawsuit and find evidence and materials for the defense.

However, it still reminds sellers of e-commerce platforms that it is best not to sell infringing and counterfeit goods or engage in other acts that infringe on the rights and interests of others. Otherwise, there is the risk of being complained and claimed by the obligee, and it is also possible for other consumers to buy fake goods and ask for one fake and three compensations. Selling pirated online course materials on e-commerce platform is sued by the obligee to the court, and the obligee is responsible for stopping the infringement, apologizing, eliminating the influence, compensating for the losses, and may be fined by the relevant departments. If the information sold reaches a certain amount, there is still the risk of criminal punishment and imprisonment.

Now in real life, most people are engaged in commercial rights protection, that is, looking for a professional third-party intellectual property commercial rights protection company to deal with infringement claims. Intellectual property commercial rights protection companies generally take the offline court to file a case and sue for compensation.
