China Guangdong Dongguan Cracks Down on a Counterfeit Bearing Goods Sales Case

Trademarks, as one of the most valuable assets of an enterprise, serve as its emblem and symbol, carrying profound significance. Counterfeiting and infringement by any organization are strictly prohibited. As a leading brand in China's bearing industry, "HRB" trademark bearings have built trust through quality, enduring nearly 75 years of challenges and embodying the hard work and dedication of generations of HRB employees. However, the persistent circulation of counterfeit products in the market not only harms consumer rights but also severely threatens the brand's reputation.

In 2025, Harbin Bearing Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "our company") continues to adopt a "zero-tolerance" stance, launching a brand protection campaign in collaboration with public security and market regulatory authorities. We are resolutely cracking down on the illegal production and sale of counterfeit "HRB" bearing products, safeguarding market order and protecting consumer rights.

Case situation

Recently, after many days of visits, research and market investigation, our brand protection specialist found that "Dongguan Hazhou Bearing Co., Ltd." in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, was selling counterfeit "HRB" trademark bearings of our company. After confirming the evidence of infringement, our company immediately reported the case to the local market supervision and administration bureau and conducted surprise inspections on the stores involved.

After on-site identification, a total of nearly 30,000 sets of counterfeit "HRB" trademark bearings of our company were seized, involving more than 300 types of models and more than 800,000 yuan, which seriously damaged the rights and interests of consumers and the reputation of our brand.

Legal warning

According to Article 140 of the Criminal Law of the People's Republic of China, producers and sellers who adulterate or counterfeit products, pass off fake products as genuine ones, pass off inferior products as good ones, or pass off unqualified products as qualified ones shall be sentenced to detention, fixed-term imprisonment or even life imprisonment depending on the sales amount, and shall be fined or have their property confiscated. At the same time, the relevant acts are also suspected of violating the Trademark Law and the Anti-Unfair Competition Law.

Wu Mingde, general manager of Jianlong Harbin Bearing, has repeatedly emphasized: "Maintaining the dignity of the 'HRB' brand is the goal of our joint efforts with our partners. Any behavior that damages the brand will be resolutely cracked down and will never be tolerated!"

The relevant producers and sellers of counterfeit "HRB" trademark products have seriously violated the bottom line of the law. Please stop the infringement immediately. Our company adheres to the attitude of "discovering one infringement and cracking down on one infringement". For infringements involving criminal cases, our company will resolutely transfer them to judicial authorities for handling in accordance with the law. In 2024, many criminal suspects have been arrested, and in 2025, we will continue to maintain the dignity of the brand with a high-pressure situation.
