Known nationwide as the "Home of Eyewear," Yingtan's glasses industry serves as a vital local pillar and a signature urban brand. However, a small number of lawbreakers, driven by greed, have engaged in large-scale counterfeiting and sales, disrupting market order, infringing on brand rights, and harming consumer interests. In response, Yingtan police have taken a firm stance and launched a strict crackdown.

Recently, leveraging an intellectual property joint protection workstation, Yingtan police successfully cracked a major case involving counterfeit registered trademarks. The operation dismantled an illegal production base in the Yuijiang District and severed a complete black market chain covering production, processing, labeling, and nationwide sales of counterfeit eyewear, thereby supporting the high-quality development of the local specialty industry.

Swift Action: Multi-Million Yuan Counterfeit Base Dismantled

Through a clue-screening mechanism at the police-enterprise intellectual property workstation, Yingtan police precisely identified illegal activities involving the production of counterfeit well-known brand eyewear within a local industrial park. In response, the city's public security bureau quickly coordinated a task force, led by the municipal environmental and food safety crime investigation unit and joined by market regulators and the Yuijiang district bureau, to conduct an in-depth investigation.

Investigators traced leads, gathered evidence, and conducted comprehensive checks, solving the case in just two days. The raid shut down a single site handling production, processing, and sales, seizing over 6,000 pairs of counterfeit finished glasses bearing various well-known brands, more than 300,000 counterfeit brand frames and lenses, over 80,000 brand logos, and 44 pieces of specialized marking molds and production equipment. The total value of the operation exceeded 24 million yuan.

Investigations revealed that the site lacked any production qualifications or official brand authorization. It had long accepted illegal orders for counterfeit well-known brand eyewear, privately labeled and processed the products, and then distributed them nationwide via logistics channels for substantial profits. These counterfeit glasses are not only poorly made with substandard parameters, potentially harming vision and posing safety risks, but they also seriously infringe on the intellectual property rights of legitimate brands, disrupt fair competition in Yingtan's eyewear market, and tarnish the reputation of the "Home of Eyewear."

Police-Enterprise Collaboration: Building a Comprehensive IP Protection Shield

While cracking down on cases serves as a deterrent, addressing the root causes through joint governance ensures long-term results. Given the frequent occurrence of intellectual property infringement in Yingtan's eyewear industry, police have continuously advanced special actions like "Kunlun" and "Anxin" to protect intellectual property. Relying on an innovative "administrative + judicial" joint protection workstation mechanism, they have moved protection efforts to the front lines of the industry, connecting police, market regulators, industry associations, and local enterprises. This facilitates the sharing of violation leads, risk information, and rapid case handling, breaking down departmental barriers and establishing a comprehensive IP protection framework led by police with departmental coordination, industry self-regulation, and corporate participation.

At the same time, authorities are using this major case as a typical example to conduct legal education and on-site assistance for enterprises in the eyewear park and industry associations. Police have held discussions with business representatives and workstation staff, addressing common concerns such as trademark infringement, counterfeit registration, evidence collection for rights protection, and risk prevention. They have provided on-site answers, explained relevant laws and legal consequences, and guided companies to strengthen compliance and risk control systems, fostering a culture of lawful operation and achieving governance that deters crime and regulates the industry.

Looking ahead, Yingtan police will maintain a high-pressure stance against intellectual property infringement and counterfeiting, continue optimizing police-enterprise collaboration and departmental coordination mechanisms, and regularly conduct legal education, risk inspections, and corporate services to build a strong legal shield for the high-quality development of the local specialty industry.
