Bikvey Intellectual Property IP Policy

 

At Bikvey, our mission is to create a trusted and secure platform for customers and sellers alike. This policy defines the standards sellers must follow regarding Intellectual Property (IP) rights and outlines the actions taken against any form of IP infringement.


What is Intellectual Property (IP) and IP Infringement?

Intellectual Property (IP) includes creations of the mind like inventions, artistic and literary works, designs, brand names, logos, symbols, and images. IP infringement occurs when someone uses these creations without permission, violating the rights legally granted to the original owners.

At Bikvey, we strictly prohibit any kind of IP infringement to protect both our customers from counterfeit products and brand owners from unauthorized use of their intellectual properties.


Bikvey’s Policy on Counterfeit Products

Bikvey enforces a zero-tolerance policy towards counterfeit goods, especially when it comes to restricted brands.
Only 100% genuine products are allowed to be sold on the platform. Selling fake, imitation, or unauthorized items is illegal and will not be tolerated.

If you are selling products of a known brand, ensure you have proper brand authorization documents. Unauthorized sales can lead to severe legal consequences.


Trademark Restrictions and Special Brand Policies

  • Apple Trademark Restrictions: Sellers must avoid unauthorized use of Apple trademarks to prevent legal actions from the brand.

  • Fragrance Trademark Restrictions: Selling imitation or impression fragrances of restricted brands like Gucci is strictly prohibited. Sellers must adhere to brand guidelines when listing fragrances.


Types of IP Infringement

Bikvey considers the following as forms of IP infringement:

  • Sale of counterfeit products

  • Unauthorized use of brand names, logos, and designs

  • Copying or replicating product descriptions, images, or trademarks

We aim to eliminate all instances of IP infringement to maintain customer confidence and platform integrity.
