(NewsNation) — Popular rock-pop band Twenty One Pilots is suing online marketplace Temu, alleging that the website is selling counterfeit merchandise by using their trademarked logo.
The band filed a lawsuit against Whaleco Inc. on Tuesday in California, according to People Magazine. Whaleco operated Temu.
“The (trademarked logos) have been damaged and put at risk by Temu’s knowing and systematic marketing and sale of counterfeit versions of the brand’s trademark on products,” according to the filing, obtained by People.
The suit continued, “these marks are confusingly and/or virtually identical to Plaintiff’s trademarks. Such products devalue TOP’s brand and status in the rock milieu and create a false association between the brand and Temu.”
