Chanel Sues The RealReal - Closet Full Of Cash

Reposted from the Fashionlaw.com:

THE FASHION LAW EXCLUSIVE — Chanel is not a fan of luxury resale sites. Several months after filing suit against What Goes Around Comes Around, the Paris-based design house has named The RealReal in a trademark infringement and counterfeiting lawsuit, accusing the popular resale site of “selling counterfeit CHANEL handbags,” despite its claims that it “ensure[s] that every item on[its site] is 100% the real thing.”

According to the complaint it filed in a New York federal court on Wednesday, which closely mirrors the action it filed against What Goes Around Comes Around in March, Chanel alleges that The RealReal, “through its business advertising and marketing practices, has attempted to deceive consumers into falsely believing that The RealReal has some kind of approval from or an association or affiliation with Chanel or that all CHANEL-branded goods sold by The RealReal are authentic.”

The data is the only thing I can see of value and honestly, there are other companies like @trendfulinc and @rebagofficial who are already doing it and better.

While the insurance sounds like a good idea, not sure I would pay for it. Thoughts?

Profitable in 2024? We’ll see…..

Here in the US, our laws are way too lax and sellers are free to push counterfeits on social platforms. Enacting a law where marketplaces have to turn over the sellers information is a step in the right direction. 🔗 to the Pulse News

“The proposed amendment of the law requires an online platform to stop the sale of an item when the item is found to be a counterfeit. If the platform is negligent of such a duty, it could constitute an infringement of a trademark. If the platform refuses a trademark owner’s request to provide details about the seller of counterfeits, the Industrial Property Dispute Resolution Committee intervenes and, after a review, orders that the requested information be provided.

“Currently, a trademark owner cannot really do anything by law if an online platform does not provide personal details of a seller who sells counterfeits for privacy reasons,” one unnamed fashion industry insider said. “The proposed amendment may not directly hold online marketplaces legally accountable for counterfeits, but at least the trademark owner can quickly respond to the manufacturers and the sellers of the relevant counterfeits.”

It’s called reverse engineering and to all the companies that clickbait authentication tips but leave out any useful information because you don’t want to help the “counterfeiters”, that’s lame.

Don’t worry though, I’ve got you and if you want to learn how to authenticate, I’ll be sharing everything I know very soon and I’m not selling anything! #authentication #luxury #bags #resale #education #consignment @theofficialaia
