Sellers who often do cross-border e-commerce should pay attention! 3 copyright cases reveal the risk of 100+ picture rights protection.

Sellers who regularly do cross-border e-commerce should pay attention! 2025 has seen the outbreak of three major copyright cases involving over 100 copyrighted images in defense actions! These cases are a wake-up call for all Taiwanese cross-border sellers, especially in the areas of children's products and art and design.

The first case is from Yumei Shi, a seller specializing in children's clothing. The case, No. 2025-cv-21509, was filed on April 1 and is represented by Reiner & Reiner PA. You'd never guess that the case involves 31 copyrighted works, including more than 100 images of children's clothing and 18 illustrations! Even more troubling, a preliminary injunction was granted on May 5, meaning the infringement allegations have been preliminarily recognized.

The second case features freelance artist Tane Hannah Meets, Case No. 2025-cv-05079-05088, who has a more unusual background than the average copyright infringement case-although she has no formal art training, she was inspired by her mother to create a unique style of art on her own. She has created a unique style of art, ranging from watercolors to digital patterns that appeal to children and adults alike.

The third plaintiff, Elena Kolotusha, a Russian-born artist now living in Melbourne, Australia, Case No. 2025-cv-05110, is known for her detailed paintings of animals and hyper-realistic still lifes, with a particular specialty in capturing the details of animal hairs to create the effect of realism down to the individual hair.

For cross-border brands and e-commerce entrepreneurs, these cases are a reminder of the importance of intellectual property protection.
