This action came quickly. I posted this article on 05 Feb 2017, only 11 days after the final judgment, You might consider this (almost) BREAKING NEWS.
Richemont could not compel eBay to police their sellers. Richemont had already lost their lawsuit against eBay in 2008.
Trademark 3,178,943 05 December 2006 |
Tiffany Inc. v. eBay Inc., 600 F.3d 93, established that trademark owners have the burden of policing for counterfeit items when their products are sold in an online marketplace. United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
eBay does not have to police their sellers. The trademark owners must do that through a program known as VeRO (Verified Rights Owners).
Richemont took eight years to go after the sellers of Parnis watches, but when they did, the watches came down. The Company and its subsidiaries jumped on a court docket on 11 November 2016, and before the defendants could respond, Richemont received a default judgment on 25 January 2017.

I do not have a law degree and I do not practice law. I cannot opine to the merits of the case. I just know that the plaintiff filed the lawsuit during the busiest time of the selling season before Christmas and obtained their final judgment during Chinese New Year.
