Not long ago, Laobai handled a trademark purchase appraisal case for L'Oreal , but the appeal was not successful. The reason for rejection was: right owner notarized the purchase appraisal, so your appeal cannot be supported:
What are we going to talk to you about today? Call a notarized purchase so that the sellers can understand this knowledge point.
Online notarized purchase refers to a method in which the notary office participates and cooperates with the right holder to purchase and authenticate the products linked to the e-commerce seller.
The entire process is roughly as follows:
1) The right holder finds a cooperative notary office. The notary office will let the right holder place an order online through the software it provides, purchase the products that need to be authenticated, and send them to the notary office.
2) The notary office will then authenticate the product shipped by the actual seller, compare it with the product purchased from the right holder or purchase from regular channels, and issue an appraisal report to determine whether it is different from the original product, and then issue a notarization report .
3) After the report is issued, the rights holder can take this quotation to the Alibaba intellectual property platform to make a purchase appraisal and complaint about counterfeit sales. This type of notarized purchase involves a notary office, so it follows the current review standards of Alibaba’s intellectual property department. , will not recognize any purchase vouchers and invoices, and the seller will need to issue a court judgment before you can win the case.
It can be said that complaints about counterfeit sales of products purchased and authenticated by a notary office are definitely the most powerful complaint method among all complaints about counterfeit sales in the Ali series.
The premise is that the seller’s product is indeed a high imitation.
Because the notary office is established in accordance with the "Notarization Law of the People's Republic of China", it is not a profit-making certification institution that independently performs notarial functions and assumes civil liability in accordance with the law.
There is one of the most important points in the notarization process: the notary office handles notarization affairs independently based on facts and law.
If the rights holder wants to commit fraud, he cannot do it without the most powerful means.
Currently, there are relatively few cases of complaints after notarization of purchases in e-commerce. After all, there are still many channels for online complaints. Many rights holders are not willing to spend money to issue a notarization report. After all, it is time-consuming, laborious and expensive. In the end, the result of online complaints is often just to delete the seller's link, which does not achieve the purpose of compensation they want.
The right holders that we now know will use notarization to purchase are: Laiya Company, NIKE, Estee Lauder , L'Oreal and other international brand companies . They are not short of money and just want to protect their own brand rights, so they are willing to spend a lot of money. to control the market.
Lao Bai recommends that sellers who are still selling the above brands should check the purchase channels of their products to make sure that genuine products are being sold. Because once the counterfeiting complaint is successfully made by a "notarized purchase", you have no other way to win the case except filing a lawsuit.
