Fake earphones sold 330000 units, Huawei busts seller

Huawei makes devices with researched innovation and the company has recently busted a fake earphone seller that sold over 330000 units of earphones in the name of Huawei.

According to the information, Huawei has recently filed a legal case against a seller for infringing Huawei’s sales rights and copyright.

A document reveals, Huawei claimed that a Chinese seller, Zhang Moumou sold headphones online using the word Huawei in many places of the product listing. While headphones have nothing to do with Huawei.

Evidence on this matter shows that the court has come to the understanding that the actual sales volume of fake Huawei earphones accounts for 330000 units. Therefore, the sales amount was about 4.06 million yuan.

The court has also announced the use of the word “Huawei” on products through links involved in the case and the works indicating that the source of the product includes the right to the use of the trademark. And it infringes Huawei’s right over the trademark.

As a result, the court ordered the fake earphone sellers to pay compensation of 403000 yuan for economic losses and reasonable expenses.

However, it’s not the first time, that Huawei contributed to such a massive crackdown on fall products. As the Chinese tech maker is serious about its IPs and the rest of its products.
