Burberry wins court case against Chinese twin brand

A Suzhou court issued a preliminary ruling in Burberry's claim against Xinboli Trading Co., owner of the Baneberry brand. The British brand accused Chinese businesses of copying infringement.

Baneberry is one of the fastest-growing Chinese brands. Over the past year and a half, it has opened 40 offline stores expanding online sales. The Baneberry logo features a rider - just like Burberry's does.

The trial is still pending.

According to Business of Fashion, such preliminary decisions are rare for the Chinese legal system.
