We are willing to compensate the victim for all losses... "On May 18th, the first instance judgment of the case of five people, including Zhang and Bi, counterfeiting well-known trademarks, was announced by the Donggang District Procuratorate of Rizhao City, Shandong Province. The defendant Zhang promised in court. In recent years, the Donggang District Procuratorate has regarded intellectual property prosecution as an important means of serving and ensuring the overall economic and social development, deeply cultivating case handling, improving case quality and efficiency, and focusing on creating a good judicial environment for intellectual property protection. Keel is a building material used to support shapes and fix structures. With the sharp rise in the price of light steel keel, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Bi and others began to produce and sell fake "Mount Taishan" brand light steel keel, and then the crime occurred. After the investigation by the public security organs was completed, the case was transferred to the procuratorial organs for examination and prosecution. "The circulation of counterfeit brand light steel keels in the market not only causes great damage to the reputation of the original brand company, but also as a building material, once there is a quality problem, the consequences will be unimaginable!" The case handling prosecutor carefully reviewed the facts of the case, checked the evidence of the whole case one by one, and verified that Zhang, Bi and others produced a total of 24600 counterfeit "Mount Taishan" brand light steel keels, involving more than 280000 yuan. After the prosecutor interpreted the law and reasoned, the defendants all pleaded guilty and pleaded guilty, and reached a compensation understanding agreement with the infringed company Mount Taishan Gypsum Co., Ltd. to compensate all losses of the infringed company. Finally, the court sentenced five individuals, including Zhang and Bi, to three years in prison for the crime of counterfeiting registered trademarks, with probation and fines imposed on each. Protecting intellectual property rights is an inevitable requirement for optimizing the business environment. In recent years, the Donggang District Procuratorate has rigorously cracked down on infringement, counterfeiting, and infringement of trade secrets by initiating public prosecutions, issuing prosecution recommendations, and supporting prosecution, in order to maintain a fair and competitive legal business environment. Since 2020, the court has handled a total of 19 cases involving infringement of enterprise intellectual property rights such as trademarks and trade secrets, involving 116 people. The court also frequently commits crimes of infringing on the intellectual property rights of overseas enterprises. Yao and five others, in order to seek high profits, falsely claimed to be selling genuine fiber optic modules and other products purchased through their own networks overseas without obtaining permission from overseas registered trademark owners such as "HP". In the process of handling this case, the Donggang District Procuratorate guided the public security organs to improve the evidence, supplemented 26 volumes of evidence materials, and adopted the "three synchronization" work method of synchronous review, synchronous supplementary evidence, and synchronous communication verification. The prosecution was carried out strictly and quickly, and crimes of intellectual property infringement were severely punished in accordance with the law, maintaining China's international image of respecting and protecting intellectual property rights. In October 2022, this case was selected as the highest prosecution guidance case. Shandong Meijia Group Co., Ltd. is a "National Key Leading Enterprise in Agricultural Industrialization" evaluated by eight national ministries and commissions, and currently has more than 10 registered trademarks. The arrival of the prosecutor is like a timely rain. Our company is currently planning a strategic plan for enterprise branding, but our employees lack the corresponding legal knowledge in trademark registration. We appreciate the prosecutor's popularization, which has greatly helped us to avoid risks in advance... "In early May, the prosecutor of Donggang District Procuratorate sent a plan to Shandong Meijia Group Co., Ltd., and was asked by the vice president of the company Li Yougang, the representative of Donggang District People's Congress, expressed his enthusiasm
