Shein accuses Temu of “industrial scale” copyright breaches in UK legal battle

Source: Yahoo! Finance

“Online fast-fashion platform Shein accused Temu of copyright infringement ‘on an industrial scale,’ while Temu countered that Shein is using ‌litigation to stifle competition, as a trial opened at London’s High ‌Court on Monday. The case is part of a global legal battle between the fast-growing rivals, with ​potential implications for platform practices, supplier relationships and the enforcement of intellectual property rights across global e-commerce. Shein alleges Temu used thousands of its photos to advertise copies of Shein’s own-brand clothing on its website, to ‘piggy-back’ on a more established competitor. … Temu – owned by PDD Holdings – has counter-claimed, seeking damages after it had to remove thousands of product listings when Shein obtained an injunction.” (05/11/26)
