一、平台介绍
有少量用户利用微信发布仿冒品信息,但微信并非交易平台,对仿冒品没有判断定性的能力。打击此类行为,需要依赖用户提供线索,依赖品牌方(商标权利人)进行鉴定。因此,我们连接起用户和品牌方,建立品牌维权平台,保护品牌方的合法权益,维护互联网知识产权健康生态。
品牌维权平台是指,品牌方接入后,微信用户可以通过微信,找到该品牌,并向该品牌提交微信个人号售假举报。品牌方通过微信搭建的在线平台查看举报线索,并对用户举报的违规帐号进行鉴定,根据鉴定结果,向微信提出帐号处理请求。微信将根据品牌方的鉴定结果,移除侵权信息,对违规帐号进行相应处置。
接入微信品牌维权平台的商标权利人:
1、可以通过平台接收消费者提交的售假线索;
2、根据接收的售假线索,对疑似售假帐号进行鉴定;
3、根据验证结果,对微信发起帐号处理请求,微信移除侵权信息并对帐号进行处置。
