We do so stronger believe that China may act solely as a counterfaiter than China as the victim of counterfating would be unbelievable.

Therefore this is what happened in the lawsuit filed before the Hague Court by a chinese company that sued two Dutch retailers of sunscreen tents, alleging a breach of its own design.

More specifically, the Chinese company asserted to be a worlwide retailer of a sunscreen tent with a particular design, like to be well known in that market field. The Dutch retailers defended themselves replying to have never known about the plaintiff trade, thus that the desing would not be deemed as distinctive.

The Hague Court scheduled the hearing for the vinal verdict at November 2nd, inviting the parties to achieve a settlement.

As known, the cases of counterfaiting are several and always more, even if committed without any purpose of breach; for sure, Chinese governement is calling for more awareness of legality and fair competition in the field of commerce and intellectual property rights.
