Selling "Overstock" May Be Illegal: Prosecutors Help Prevent IP Risks in Foreign Trade Industry
网购平台上的"尾单"销售现象
On e-commerce platforms, terms like "factory overstock" and "brand overstock" are not uncommon. 所谓"尾单"是指品牌代工厂超出商标权人授权多生产的产品以及在生产过程中因质量出现瑕疵被商标权人退回的产品。The so-called "overstock" refers to products that are produced in excess of the trademark owner's authorization by OEM factories, as well as products returned by the trademark owner due to quality defects during the production process.
典型案例分析
近期,浦东新区检察院办理了一起销售"FILA"品牌"尾单"的案件。Recently, the Pudong New Area Procuratorate handled a case involving the sale of "FILA" brand "overstock".
2016年4月起,柯某工贸上海有限公司接受他人委托,生产带有"FILA"商标的包具并出口日本。Since April 2016, Ke's Industrial and Trading Company in Shanghai has been commissioned to produce bags with the "FILA" trademark for export to Japan. 2021年1月起,公司负责人柯某某与高某某未经许可,将生产的"FILA"商标包具尾货通过网购平台销售,涉案金额15万余元。Since January 2021, the company's responsible persons Ke and Gao have sold the "FILA" trademarked bag overstock through e-commerce platforms without authorization, with involved amount exceeding 150,000 yuan.
法律认定
"两位嫌疑人负责的公司系经过合法的授权委托进行生产加工,但该产品系定牌加工产生,均应销往境外,不应在国内销售。"The prosecutor stated: "The company responsible by the two suspects was legally authorized for production processing, but these products were OEM products that should have been sold overseas, not domestically."
承办检察官表示,犯罪嫌疑人未经"斐乐"商标的国内权利人授权,擅自将其瑕疵尾单公开销售,侵犯了注册商标专用权,其行为已构成销售假冒注册商标的商品罪。The prosecutor explained that the suspects' unauthorized sale of defective overstock products infringed the exclusive rights of the domestic trademark owner and constituted the crime of selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks.
检察创新机制
浦东新区检察院探索建立全流程刑行协同联动新模式:The Pudong Procuratorate explored a new model of whole-process criminal-administrative coordination:
- 移送前初步研判 Preliminary analysis before transfer
- 审查起诉阶段跨前固证 Evidence collection during prosecution
- 移送后持续跟进 Continuous follow-up after transfer
检察建议与企业合规
检察机关针对企业存在的管理漏洞制发检察建议,提出6项具体整改措施:The procuratorate issued procuratorial suggestions addressing management loopholes, proposing six specific rectification measures:
- 开展知识产权法律法规培训 Conduct IP law training
- 完善委托加工合同内容 Improve OEM contract terms
- 建立知识产权合规制度 Establish IP compliance systems
行业警示
"外贸企业应当加强自主品牌建设,提高自主创新能力,做好风险防范措施。"The prosecutor emphasized: "Foreign trade enterprises should strengthen independent brand building, enhance innovation capabilities, and implement risk prevention measures." 随着我国经济发展模式的转变,涉外定牌加工产生的商标侵权问题的认识也在不断变化和深化。With the transformation of China's economic development model, the understanding of trademark infringement issues arising from foreign-related OEM processing is also evolving and deepening.
下一步,浦东新区检察院将持续深耕知识产权保护,营造法治化营商环境。Next, the Pudong Procuratorate will continue to deepen IP protection efforts to create a law-based business environment.
