在案件材料网址,对于每个被告店铺,律所提供了相关证据:
- 产品页面截图:有些标题包含了True Touch关键词,但是即使标题没有True Touch,他们也会告,因为产品特征太明显了
- 消息往来截图:基本上会问发过美国纽约几次?
- 下单Checkout页面截图
这个案件目前所知都是冻结国际支付宝的(敦煌网不知道冻结什么),没有钓鱼paypal账号。
几点评论:
1)此次侵权事实比较清楚,卖家处境比较被动。
2)原告律所Epstein Drangel LLC,网址:http://ipcounselors.com,律所的名字也是由他们创始的2个律师组成的:Epstein Robert L和Drangel Jason M,这个律所代理过的案子有愤怒的小鸟、汪汪队(Paw Patrol)等,地址在美国纽约。
3)这次案件的取证在5月份左右,注意不是律所直接取证的,他们外包给了一个叫New Alchemy Limited (NAL)的公司,所以效率提高了很多。
4)接到举报后,敦煌网官方已经发布了公告:

被告的卖家可以联系其他卖家一起抱团取暖,此次案件的后继我们会继续关注。
