SportsOneSource媒体2007年10月29日报道：THE NORTH FACE服饰公司因商标权受到侵犯将北京秀水街服装市场告上法庭。法院一审判决秀水街停止侵权，赔偿THE NORTH FACE公司经济损失及诉讼费近4万元。
据悉，THE NORTH FACE服饰公司起诉称，THE NORTH FACE公司在国内注册取得“THE NORTH FACE”文字商标、图形商标和文字图形组合商标的专用权。2006年11月，THE NORTH FACE公司发现秀水街市场内大量销售假冒THE NORTH FACE公司注册商标商品，请求法院判被告赔偿经济损失等共计50万元。
北京秀水街服装市场有限公司辩称，涉案的多件服装系购买者主动索购，并非商户公开摆卖，其作为市场管理者，对于市场索购行为进行管理的难度很大，故请求法院驳回原告诉讼请求。

The North Face won a lawsuit against a Beijing market that failed to stop the sale of fake versions of its products. The Beijing Xiushui Clothing Company, which operates the Silk Alley market, was ordered by a local court to pay 40,000 yuan ($5,300) in damages and legal fees to the North Face, Xinhua news agency reported.
Silk Alley -- a tourist area in Beijing that sells jeans, bags and belts, many of them seemingly counterfeit -- was taken to court after North Face last year found large quantities of counterfeits of its brand sold by vendors there. The North Face had demanded 500,000 yuan in compensation, according to Xinhua.
Beijing Xiushui argued that most of the fake brand clothing was ordered by customers and was not for public sale. But the court found some of the counterfeits were sold publicly and ruled that the firm had failed to fulfill its management duties.
