The companies filed two lawsuits against four individuals
and three entities, according to court documents, alleging that the defendants
advertised and sold counterfeit Ferragamo products on the Amazon store, using
its registered trademarks without authorization.
Out of seven defendants, the lawsuit says five are based in
China and the other two could be in China or North Carolina or California. The
lawsuit said several other defendants are presently unknown.
Last year, Amazon announced here plans to give more data on
counterfeit goods to law enforcement in a further crackdown on fakes peddled on
its sites, much of which is sourced from China.
The companies said they are looking to permanently prevent
the defendants from causing further harm to Amazon's and Ferragamo's
intellectual property and to hold the defendants accountable for their actions.
The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court
for the Western District of Washington. -Reuters
