Analysis of Infringement Determination Standards for Labubu Accessory Products

Discussion on the Standards for Determining Infringement of Labubu Accessory Products

Recently, the issue of determining the infringement standards for Labubu accessory products has attracted widespread attention. As a well-known brand, Labubu enjoys a large number of loyal fans in the market, and its accessory products are also highly sought after. However, some controversies about the infringement of Labubu accessory products have arisen recently, causing concerns among many consumers and merchants about the protection of their rights and interests. This article will discuss the standards for determining the infringement of Labubu accessory products based on recent news reports.

First, we need to clarify the basic principles of determining infringement. When judging whether an act constitutes infringement, we need to consider the following factors

1. Is there any unauthorized manufacturing or selling behavior?

Recently, it was reported that some merchants manufactured and sold Labubu-branded accessory products without authorization. These actions allegedly infringe on Labubu's brand rights and constitute infringement.

2. Does the design involve imitation or similarity?

Some merchants may claim that their products are imitations of Labubu, but their design elements bear a certain resemblance to Labubu. In such cases, we need to review whether there is imitation or similarity in the design and whether it misleads consumers.

However, in practice, the standards for determining infringement may vary depending on specific circumstances. For example, if the similarity between the product design elements and the original brand exists based on reasonable reference and imitation, and does not cause substantial damage to the original brand, it may not be recognized as infringement. For design elements with obvious distinctions and unlikely to cause confusion, even if there is similarity, it may not necessarily constitute infringement.

Regarding the issue of determining the infringement standards for Labubu accessory products, we suggest that relevant departments and consumers strengthen supervision and awareness of rights protection. For merchants, they should strictly abide by relevant laws and regulations and must not manufacture or sell related products without authorization. For consumers, they should carefully verify the qualifications and sources of merchants before purchasing to avoid the risk of infringement.

At the same time, we call on the industry to strengthen self-discipline and jointly maintain market order. Merchants should actively promote the popularization of intellectual property protection awareness within the industry, respect and protect others' intellectual property rights, and jointly promote the healthy and orderly development of the industry.

In conclusion, determining the infringement standards for Labubu accessory products is a complex issue that requires consideration of multiple factors. For both consumers and merchants, enhancing self-protection awareness and complying with relevant laws and regulations are crucial. We also look forward to joint efforts from relevant departments, industry organizations, and merchants to work together to promote intellectual property protection and create a fair, just, and orderly market environment.
