According to Wang's account, she and Zhang are husband and wife, the store is mainly operated by her, customer service, delivery, after-sales are her own responsibility, husband Zhang is responsible for the market to buy goods. In order to make consumers think that they are selling Mercury home textile products, she added the words "Mercury" and "genuine" to the name of the store, and the bedding mainly sold in the store was also named after "Mercury Home Textile".

When the buyer placed the order, she asked her husband to go to the market to buy some other unbranded products and counterfeit Mercury home textile packaging, assemble them herself and ship them to the buyer. The best four-piece set sold in the store costs about 200 yuan, while the price they sell is about 300 yuan, deducting the cost of express delivery, and the profit per product is about 70 yuan.

"The mercury home textile brand is relatively large, the advertising is also more, there is a relatively high popularity, there are more consumers who buy their products, and I will sell well if I counterfeit their products." When asked why he wanted to counterfeit Mercury home textile products, Wang replied.

Husband Zhang Mou was very regretful after being arrested: "Wang mou and I just got married in February this year, we have some gift money on hand, and I want to use this money as start-up capital to do business. ”

With the help of their families, they voluntarily compensated the victim's unit for economic losses of 320,000 yuan and obtained forgiveness. A few days ago, the Shanghai Fengxian District People's Procuratorate filed a public prosecution against Wang and Zhang for selling counterfeit registered trademarks.
