France's Louis Vuitton sues counterfeit online sellers in China

BEIJING: -- French luxury goods firm Louis Vuitton is seeking damages from three people convicted of offering counterfeit versions of its clothing, shoes and handbags on Alibaba Group Holding Ltd's popular Taobao shopping website, a Beijing court said.

A district court in Beijing accepted the lawsuit filed by Louis Vuitton, owned by LVMH, the world's biggest luxury group, last Monday, according to a statement on the court's website.

The company is taking the three defendants, two of them surnamed Liang and the other surnamed Han, to court, "asking them to stop infringing on its trademark and is seeking compensation of economic losses of 250,000 yuan ($37,900)", according to the court statement.
