Is it illegal to sell high imitation shoes? But don't promote this brand.
High imitation infringes on the legitimate rights and interests of the imitated brand, which is of course illegal and has nothing to do with advertising or not.

Selling high imitation shoes, especially high imitation shoes, is an infringement that knowingly infringes on the industrial property rights of others. It is a typical sale of counterfeit products and should bear tort liability.

Whether the crime of selling goods with counterfeit registered trademarks is sufficient depends on the amount of infringement. According to the provisions of the criminal law, if the sales amount is more than 50 thousand yuan, it shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years; If the amount is more than 250,000 yuan, he shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years.

Usually, high imitation shoes are not produced by the original manufacturer, but are studied by other manufacturers according to the original manufacturer's styles, colors, materials and accessories, and on this basis, shoes with guaranteed quality and the same styles, colors and materials as the original products are produced, which we call 1: 1 fine imitation. Since it is not the product of the original manufacturer, copying other people's styles, colors and materials is a typical counterfeiting behavior.

Counterfeiting refers to the behavior that producers and operators improperly use other people's marks on their own goods or business marks in order to compete for competitive advantage, confuse their own goods or business with those operated by others, and seek illegitimate interests. Without the permission of the registered trademark owner, it is an illegal and criminal act to forge or counterfeit a trademark identical with or similar to the registered trademark on the product body or packaging, produce inferior products and expired goods, and deceive consumers.
