Prison Sentence for Faking the Service Trademark of Universal Beijing Resort

Recently, six people have been sentenced to prison terms ranging from 18 months to four years and fined a total of 3.7 million yuan ($519,202) for counterfeiting the service trademark of Universal Beijing Resort, according to prosecutors in the capital.

The investigation found that the defendants, without authorization, uploaded images featuring the resort's registered trademarks to their self-made website and sold fake Universal Beijing Resort VIP service packages.The packages, priced from several hundred yuan to as much as 6,880 yuan, imitated official offerings such as itinerary planning, exclusive tours and concierge services. The imitation led many tourists to mistakenly believe the website was an official sales channel, prosecutors said.They added that the defendants received more than 1,000 orders through the fake website, generating total sales exceeding 6 million yuan.
