Miawi® - Registered and protected trademark
Intellectual Property — MIAWI
The MIAWI® trademark is duly registered and protected in France and Europe by its owners, Sarah and Julien , in the registers of the competent industrial property authorities. Under the French Intellectual Property Code (articles L.711-1 et seq.), as well as European regulations relating to Union trademarks, this registration grants its owners an exclusive right to use and exploit the distinctive sign "MIAWI" in the relevant classes and fields of activity. Any unauthorized use of this name or associated content (photographs, promotional videos, product sheets, graphics, descriptive texts) constitutes an act of infringement (art. L.716-1 of the French Intellectual Property Code), punishable under civil and criminal law.
Assisted by their legal counsel, Laurent Dupont , a lawyer at the Paris Bar specializing in intellectual property law, Sarah and Julien reserve the right to take immediate action in the event of any infringement of their rights. The penalties incurred may include:
-
the forced removal of counterfeit content,
-
the seizure and destruction of products illegally reproducing the trademark
-
the payment of damages proportionate to the harm suffered,
-
as well as the judicial publication of the decision at the expense of the perpetrator of the incriminated acts.
It is expressly stated that several consumers have already reported being victims of fraudulent websites that impersonate MIAWI®'s visual identity and content, believing they are purchasing from the official brand. These practices, in addition to constituting a clear violation of trademark and copyright law, also fall under the category of unfair competition and economic parasitism , prohibited by Article 1240 of the French Civil Code.
Sarah and Julien therefore urge anyone wishing to use, reproduce, or distribute elements related to the MIAWI® brand to first obtain written authorization. Otherwise, any reproduction or imitation will be prosecuted before the competent courts in France and the European Union, without prior notice, in order to defend the integrity of their work, protect consumers, and penalize any infringer.
