#China #Shein #Temu #FastFashion #Copyright #IP #TradeSecrets #Counterfeiting: "In a civil complaint filed on Monday, Chinese fast fashion giant Shein claims other Chinese fast fashion giant Temu should be held accountable for running “an unlawful enterprise built on counterfeiting, theft of trade secrets, infringement of intellectual property rights, and fraud as they seek to infiltrate the U.S. with their platform,” and accuses Temu of masquerading “as a legitimate e-commerce ‘marketplace.’”

Shein, coming in very hot within the first page of the complaint, claims that Temu “is not actually a ‘marketplace’ platform at all.”

“It controls every aspect of its sellers' activity. It directs what products they can list and the prices for which they can sell; encourages them to infringe the intellectual property rights of others; and even prevents them from removing their products from Temu's website after they have admitted to infringement. These are not the actions of a legitimate third-party ‘marketplace,’” Shein states."

@petersuber I love how this article intentionally or not highlights how IP (#patents and #tradesecrets in this case) are obstacles to "trust in science"; the former is especially ironic as patents supposedly encourage info revelation, but instead the possibility of patenting discourages info revelation. IP undermines scientific culture, and culture period. It is a metaphorical brain cancer on humanity.

Well that didn't take long;

No sooner than #Threads launches than #ElonMusk accuses #Meta of stealing #Twitter's #tradesecrets;

As Meta may've hired many ex-Twitter staff, my guess is Musk's legal team will be working on an accusation of 'inevitable disclosure' on the basis that even if they formally agreed not to utilise knowledge of T's organisational practices, their tacit knowledge of T's workings would inform how they run Threads;

not an easy case to prove & unlikely to get to court IMO
