Case Study 55 - Website-blocking measures to combat online trade mark infringement in Thailand
Background
In 2020, a major Japanese company manufacturing imaging and optical products received customer complaints about a website selling dashboard cameras bearing its trade mark. Hoping to shut down the infringing pages immediately, the company sent cease-and-desist letters to the website operator, the website registrar, and the seller – all to no avail. Despite repeated attempts to contact the concerned parties, the pages remained online.
