Small Business Owner Shocked as Temu Sells Copycat Christmas Cards
Anwen Roberts, owner of the small design firm Draenog, expressed her devastation upon discovering that identical copies of her Welsh Christmas cards were being sold on the online marketplace Temu without her consent. The incident highlights the ongoing struggle small businesses face against larger platforms that often infringe on their intellectual property rights. Temu has since removed the products, stating they act swiftly against reported infringements. The Federation of Small Businesses noted that many small firms experience similar issues, emphasizing the need for better dispute resolution mechanisms between these businesses and larger companies.
