The incident is suspected of being caught in a oolong.
Review the event:
On April 18, Simba and his anchor Egg Egg brought a product called "YPL Sunscreen Cool Pants". Some consumers found that the YPL brand official did not have this product after placing an order, and questioned Simba's sale of fake goods.
Therefore, on the afternoon of April 22, the brand involved issued a statement saying that the products sold by the anchor "Egg Egg" of the Xinxuan team in the live broadcast room did not belong to the category of YPL sales, and the packaging of the goods was suspected of plagiarism, and the product distribution company and the production company would be held accountable according to law, and their legitimate rights and interests would be safeguarded through legal means.
The data shows that 102,000 real-time orders were placed on the same day, and the sales of a single product exceeded 6 million yuan in one night.
Subsequently, Xinxuan's official account issued a statement saying that the brand party "Harbin Aoshengyuan Trade Co., Ltd." provided Xinxuan with authorization links and relevant certification materials, and if there are any violations of laws and regulations, Xinxuan will be held responsible according to law, and Xinxuan will always stand with consumers.
Immediately after the early morning of April 23, the official account of the brand involved in the YPL sports tide products issued a statement again: "The ownership of the YPL trademark of the counterfeit product is our company", and posted the relevant trademark registration certificate and trademark transfer certificate; some documents mention that the trademark registered by "a company in Harbin" is a self-created graphic mark, which is very different from the products sold. At the same time, the statement said that the official statement channel of the YPL is the "YPL sports tide" official micro, and some network accounts involve the release of other stamped documents of the company, which will be strictly investigated to the end.
As for the re-statement of the official account of the brand party involved in the YPL sports tide products, on the morning of April 23, Xinxuan Company responded that the verification found that the incident was caused by the dispute before and after the transfer of the trademark of the trademark owner, and it was not a fake.
According to the results of the preliminary verification published by it:
"The original holder of the YPL trademark was Australian Health Industry Limited. Harbin Aoshengyuan Trading Co., Ltd. was authorized by Australia Health Industry Co., Ltd. on January 1, 2021 to produce, sell, use and publicize the YPL trademark for a period of January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2026, and is transferable.
On April 13, 2022, after the original trademark holder Australia Health Industry Limited applied for the transfer of the trademark to Australia YPL Limited, there was already a dispute between the two parties over authorizing a third party to use the trademark before and after the transfer, so the trademark transferee said that the products promoted in the live broadcast room were "not products of the YPL brand".
After consulting with legal experts, Xin Xuan confirmed that the authorization relationship between the original trademark holder and the authorized party Harbin Aoshengyuan Trading Co., Ltd., and the authorization relationship between Harbin Aoshengyuan Trading Co., Ltd. and Xinxuan, are within the validity period of the law. ”
Xinxuan Company said that due to the troubles caused by the trademark dispute between the above two companies, it deeply regrets that it will handle a full refund for all consumers who have purchased YPL products through the small yellow car link in the Xinxuan live broadcast room.
