Bandai Namco China News Agency: gangs of counterfeiting Liberty Gundam statues are sentenced

　This morning, Bandai Namco China issued an important announcement titled "Notice on the Criminal Judgment of the Production Factory and Sales of the gang "TS Modg Play Studio" that counterfeits the Free Gundam Statue".

　　The announcement shows that as early as May 2023, the Shanghai Public Security Bureau had launched a thunderous attack and launched an investigation and punishment operation on the production den of the "TS Modg Play Studio". Law enforcement officers seized a large number of pirated products of the counterfeit Gundam Statue on the spot. According to preliminary statistics, the amount involved was as high as more than 1 million yuan, and the amount was shocking.

　　Not only that, the police also followed the clues and investigated and dealt with three sellers who sold "TS Mod Play Studio" on a large scale. During this process, six persons in charge of manufacturing and sales were arrested in accordance with the law. Until December 2024, the law gave a fair ruling, and the six defendants were sentenced to three years in prison, paying a heavy price for their infringement and violation.

　　Bandai official emphasized in the announcement that in recent years, inferior infringement products produced through illegal means such as copying and counterfeiting have been still circulated in many countries. These infringing products are not only of worrying quality, but also seriously infringing on the intellectual property rights of Bandai Namco and disrupting the normal market order.

In response to this, Bandai Namco Company expressed his sincere gratitude.

　　Bandai official also made a clear statement in the announcement: "In the future, we will strictly follow relevant laws and regulations and continue to actively cooperate with the work of the public security, procuratorate and other judicial organs. For producers and sellers who are still continuing to infringe on the intellectual property rights of the Mobile Suit Gundam series, we will take severe measures and never tolerate them. We must let the infringer bear the due legal liability for their illegal acts. ”
