On July 11th, the Market Supervisory Bureau of Yulin City in Guangxi discovered a case of counterfeit electronic cigarettes with a registered trademark within their jurisdiction. A total of 19,346 finished electronic cigarettes suspected of infringing on the trademark were confiscated.
According to reports, an illegal e-cigarette processing factory was located in a residential area in Yuzhou district of Yulin city. After receiving a tip-off, the Yulin Market Supervision Bureau, Tobacco Bureau and Yuzhou Branch of the Public Security Bureau launched a surprise inspection of the illegal factory. Large quantities of suspected infringing e-cigarette parts, packaging boxes, labels and finished e-cigarettes were found on site, with 13 workers involved in assembling the e-cigarettes. The police quickly detained the suspects and sealed off the scene. A total of 19,346 suspected infringing e-cigarette products bearing the "ELUX" trademark were seized, including parts, packaging boxes and labels, as well as three processing machines, with a total value of over 2 million yuan.
The authorized agent of the trademark owner conducted an appraisal and issued an "appraisal report", which determined that the product was counterfeit. After a preliminary investigation, it was found that the party had allegedly committed the crime of counterfeiting a registered trademark by using the same trademark on the same goods without the permission of the registered trademark owner. On that day, the Yulin Market Supervision Bureau transferred the case to the public security organ for processing in accordance with the law.
Currently, the case is under further investigation and processing.
