A large number of counterfeit toys have entered the market, and they are made of recycled plastic
Shanghai police have successfully cracked a case of copyright infringement on "Mini Spy Team", an animated cartoon whose main audience is post-00s generation. To save on counterfeiting costs, the gang even used recycled plastic to make the toys.
At the end of last year, Xuhui Public Security Bureau received a report from the right company that there is a series of toys of the "Tengxing" brand on the Internet, which are no different from the legitimate version of the "mini Secret Service Team", but the quality is poor, and obviously not produced by the legitimate manufacturer.
Qiu Zhengtan on behalf of the right holder company: From this mask can obviously feel that the seams and the parts in direct contact with the face have very obvious raw edges and plastic residues. This material is the secondary recyclable plastic of polyvinyl chloride, which may cause greater physical health harm to children who use the product.
Identified by the China Copyright Protection Center, "Tensing" toys have been suspected of infringing the copyright of the company that owns the "Mini-Attack Team". The police immediately set up a task force to investigate, and finally locked the Han Hui toy factory in an industrial park in Shantou city, Guangdong province. After investigation, the toy factory was registered and established by Chen, with a total of four production lines and an average daily shipment of more than 1,000 pieces.
On July 23, the task force went to Guangdong to carry out concentrated arrest operations, and arrested 6 suspects including Chen, the actual controller of the company, in the toy factory. After the case, Chen confessed that in order to make the counterfeit toys more price advantage, they reduced the cost in all aspects.
Suspect Chen: The cost is too high, can not afford to sell, must be changed to a little simpler, sell a little cheaper.
Shanghai Public Security Bureau Xuhui branch economic investigation detachment deputy leader Huang Wenying: Pricing is often only one third of the genuine product, or even cheaper.
At present, 6 suspects have been taken criminal coercive measures, and more than 20,000 sets of counterfeit toys were seized on the spot, with a case value of tens of millions. The case is under further investigation.
