Another week of infringement review, Mo was negligent for a while, and returned to the pre-liberation overnight. This week, these brands are in trouble: the comedy "Elvira: Mistress of the Dark", the Spanish freelance illustrator Mario Sanchez Nevado, the well-known sports water bottle brand blenderbottle in the United States and the toy brand NERF have launched infringement complaints, and some sellers' accounts have been frozen . When preparing for the big promotion, all sellers and friends need to check the intellectual property risks that may exist in the products in time.
01
Comedy Elvira: Mistress of the Dark
"Elvira: Mistress of the Dark" is a 1988 horror comedy film directed by James Signorelli, also known as "Ecstasy", starring Cassandra Peterson as the dark mistress. It has a certain reputation in North America, and some people even wear the black costume of the cos heroine on Halloween.
The brand QueenBProductions filed an infringement complaint in Illinois in April this year.
Hugo cross-border found that searching for "Elvira" on Amazon can still find many peripheral products, such as dolls, water cups, etc. These are suspected of infringement, and sellers need to check themselves as soon as possible.

MARIO NEVADO WORKS
Recently, Spanish freelance illustrator Mario Sanchez Nevado filed an infringement complaint, and the entrusted law firm is Keith. Such well-known works generally have copyright protection, and it is very easy for sellers to step on thunder.
Mario Sanchez Nevado holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts and has over 15 years of experience creating stunning covers, artwork for bands and publishing houses around the world. His work has been shown in exhibitions around the world, such as "The Rise of Ideas," which toured at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Guggenheim Museum.
The work has been recognized with the Masters Award at Exposé, the annual digital art year, for two consecutive years. It participated in Adobe Photoshop's 25th anniversary event "Dreamon", which premiered at the 2015 Academy Awards and screened at the Sundance Film Festival, winning a Pencil D&AD, Cannes Three Lions and an Emmy nominate.
His work is used by clients large and small like Adobe, GoodbySilverstein, Harlequin, HachetteEducation, MDU, Envato and more.
The lawsuit states that the defendants are directly involved in the sale of the infringing products, usually as partners or suppliers, who knowingly manufacture, import, distribute, and offer to sell the infringing products.
From the official website, the works are mainly used in clothing, blankets, handbags, water cups, mobile phone cases and other products. Sellers who sell related products should pay attention to self-inspection.

blenderbottle shaker cup
Blenderbottle is a well-known sports water bottle brand in the United States. Steve Sorensen and his wife co-founded BlenderBottle in 2000. Now it has become a global brand. Its main products are protein powder shakers, half-gallon water bottles, and bicycle bottles. ; In addition, the BlenderBall® Wire Egg Whisk is also owned by it.
Blenderbottle's cups are mainly for fitness enthusiasts. Its professional and humanized design is well received and loved by fitness enthusiasts, and it is very popular in North America and Europe.
The most well-known product of Blenderbottle is its patented shaker cup with a built-in stirring ball, which can help the protein powder to be fully dissolved in water without clumping or smudging, allowing users to absorb it smoothly and easily. At the same time, the bottle port adopts SpoutGuard™ cap, which can better prevent bacterial invasion. Among them, a patented mixing system is also used, which can also integrate the previous BlenderBall® wire agitator. This seemingly simple but very thoughtful design has won the praise of many fitness enthusiasts.
It is worth noting that Blenderbottle has applied for a number of patents for stirring balls, and sellers need to be alert to the risk of infringement.

Toy brand NERF
NERF is a brand of toy soft bullet guns under the American toy giant Hasbro. It has strong parent-child interaction and a series of water guns. The trademark means "Non-Expanding Recreational Foam"
In terms of structure, generally speaking, the cylinder structure is mostly manual launcher, and the flywheel structure is mostly electric launcher; in terms of type, it can be roughly divided into soft bomb launcher, cold weapon and water gun, etc.; in terms of product series, including, but Not limited to Elite series, Zombie series, UFO series, MEGA series, Mulan series, DARTTAG series, etc.;
I need to remind everyone that if you are selling soft bullet gun parts, such as soft bullets, magazines, butts, etc., you must not write ForNERF! When selling toy soft bullet guns and its parts, as long as NERF appears, it will definitely infringe!
It is understood that NERF has a soft bullet gun registered for an invention patent: WO2019197910-Toy Dart Launcher with Electric Roller. The invention relates to a toy projectile launcher in the form of an automatic pistol equipped with a driving motorized drum, and also relates to a method of using the automatic toy launcher to launch a plurality of toy projectiles. On the whole, there are three characteristics: first, the wrap-around magazine; second, this soft bullet gun needs to be battery-driven to achieve the effect of continuous shooting; third, the bullets used in this soft bullet gun generally have suction cups , which is safer than the bullets used by NERF. If your product meets the above characteristics, it is likely to be an infringing product!
