Large-scale manufacture and export of counterfeit products,
including amplifiers, headphones and microphones were halted
Three leading audio equipment brands including Shure, have
scored a decisive victory against a network in China that were
engaged in large-scale manufacture and export of counterfeit
products, including amplifiers, headphones and microphones.
The case started in May 2022 when Rouse, working with its
strategic partner law firm Lusheng, uncovered a network of nine companies
in China, including trading, logistics and manufacturing companies
across Guangdong Province, exporting counterfeit audio equipment to
South East Asia. The network operated over eighty separate online
stores on Shopee and Lazada supplying to customers in Vietnam,
Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia and Philippines. Although several
audio brands were targeted by the counterfeiters, only three brand
owners, Shure and two others engaged Rouse and Lusheng to launch a
coordinated action.
