A group of luxury goods makers in the United States has sued, CHinese e-commerce giant, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd contending that it had knowingly made it possible for counterfeiters to sell their products throughout the world.
The lawsuit alleged that Alibaba had conspired to manufacture, offer for sale and traffic in counterfeit products bearing their trademarks without their permission.
The lawsuit alleged that Alibaba and its related entities “provide the marketplace advertising and other essential services necessary for counterfeiters to sell their counterfeit products to customers in the United States.” The lawsuit cited, for example, an alleged fake Gucci bag offered for $2 to $5 each by a Chinese merchant.
