两名中国公民在日本被捕：涉嫌批发319册仿冒人气贴纸、侵犯商标权
日本爱知县警察11月5日逮捕了两名中国籍嫌疑人——一名38岁女子与其43岁丈夫，涉嫌违反《商标法》，向他人批发仿冒的人气贴纸商品。警方尚未公布两人是否承认指控，案件仍在调查中，两人目前只是被指控、未经法院定罪。
警方指称，两人将319册仿冒的「嘭嘭滴胶贴纸」（Bonbon Drop）批发给一名男子，收取4.1万余日元。这款立体水滴形贴纸由位于大阪市的文具厂商 Qualia 销售，在日本儿童中人气极高、正品长期缺货，仿冒品随之大量流通。名古屋海关的数据显示，今年上半年查扣的仿冒贴纸类商品数量已达去年同期的8倍以上。
此案由下游销售环节追查而来：今年5月，名古屋市热田区已有两名男子因销售同款仿冒贴纸被捕，警方顺着进货渠道追查，锁定了这对夫妇。从查扣物品中，警方还发现了并未实际销售过的角色贴纸，怀疑两人还批发过其他仿冒商品，正继续追查仿冒品的来源与销售全貌。

Two Chinese Nationals Arrested in Japan, Suspected of Wholesaling 319 Counterfeit Sticker Books
Police in Japan's Aichi Prefecture on November 5 arrested two Chinese nationals — a 38-year-old woman and her 43-year-old husband — on suspicion of violating the Trademark Act by wholesaling counterfeit copies of a popular sticker product. Police have not disclosed whether the two admit the allegations; the case remains under investigation and neither has been convicted.
Police allege the couple wholesaled 319 counterfeit books of "Bonbon Drop" puffy stickers to a man for more than ¥41,000. The stickers, sold by Qualia, a stationery maker based in Osaka, are hugely popular among children in Japan and chronically out of stock, and counterfeits have flooded the market: Nagoya Customs says seizures of fake sticker products in the first half of this year were more than eight times the level of a year earlier.
The arrests grew out of a downstream case: in May, two men were arrested in Nagoya's Atsuta Ward for selling the same counterfeits, and police traced the supply route back to the couple. Among the seized items, police also found stickers featuring characters that were never actually sold, and they suspect the couple wholesaled other counterfeit goods as well. The investigation into sourcing and the full scale of sales is continuing.
