It's a street with a name plate. It's a legal issue
A street with a name plate is a market or commercial area where counterfeit branded goods are sold. These commodities are typically modelled on the design, logo and packaging of well-known brands, but may vary in quality, materials and processes. The legal issues with respect to the nameplates include the following:
Trademark infringement: the use of a branded trademark by an original brander without authorization may constitute a trademark infringement. Mark infringement may result in legal consequences such as fines, confiscation of illicit proceeds and destruction of tort goods。
Undue competition: quasi branded goods can mislead consumers and misperceive them as good goods, thereby undermining the goodwill and market share of original branders. Such behaviour may constitute undue competition and a violation of market competition regulations。
Intellectual property rights violations: monk brands may involve infringement of intellectual property rights such as copyrights and patents of original brands. This may result in legal liability for infringers, cessation of tort, etc。
Fraud consumers: while there may be a large gap between the quality and performance of branded goods and the quality of the product, they are similar and easily misleading to consumers. Such behaviour may constitute a consumer fraud and a violation of consumer protection legislation。
Tax evasion: the production and sale of brand-named goods is often not formally channelled and there may be tax evasion. This may lead to legal consequences for tax authorities in pursuing tax evasion, fines, etc。
Criminal liability: in certain cases, the production and sale of branded goods may constitute an offence under criminal law. For example, if a branded commodity involves a counterfeit or hypocritical product, it may be subject to criminal liability。
In sum, there are a number of legal problems in one street in the shan village, not only undermining the legitimate interests of original branders, but also of consumers. The government and the relevant authorities should strengthen their regulation of the market for brand names, combat abuses and maintain market order and consumer rights。
