The service suits the brand processing and no contact with the infringement high-voltage line

Ningbo Customs announced a case of infringement of intellectual property rights. This case turned out to be caused by the purchaser entrusting the company to process infringing products.

The rights holders confirmed that this shipment was all infringing products, a total of 13,500, worth more than 200,000 yuan***.

Customs investigations revealed that when an enterprise receives an order, it asks whether the foreign company has a certificate of intellectual property rights authorization.
