Delhi High Court Asks Amazon To Delist Fake Goods Sellers

In a strict order against the sale of fake goods on ecommerce platforms, the Delhi High Court has ordered Amazon Seller Services to delist some sellers on its platform after Beverly Hills Polo Club said they were selling fake products of its products. It so happened that Beverly Hills Polo dragged Amazon to court last month, claiming that some of its sellers were indulging in “widespread sale of counterfeit products” including apparels, accessories and fragrances. In a ruling on July 16, the court said, “The defendant shall remove forthwith from its platform any URLs which are pointed out by the plaintiff which are selling products in violation of the plaintiff’s right.” Beverly Hills Polo Lawyers said that Amazon took off some URLs after they had sent legal notices but subsequently fresh links had sprung up on the Amazon site. However, Amazon said it has “zero tolerance for counterfeit.” “We remove suspected counterfeit items as soon as we become aware of them, and we suspend or block bad actors suspected of engaging in illegal behaviour or infringing others’ intellectual property rights,” an Amazon spokesperson said in an email.
