Ltd. ("Linctex"), the company behind Style3D. This ruling brings closure to a multi-year legal dispute, providing robust judicial protection for CLO's core intellectual property. It underscores China's firm commitment to strengthening IP protection and improving the business environment, while setting a significant industry benchmark for fair competition. According to the final judgment by the Zhejiang Provincial High People's Court, after thorough examination, the court clearly established that Linctex engaged in willful infringement by "prolonged, large-scale, and frequent" use of cracked versions of CLO software in its commercial operations. This activity directly infringed upon CLO's legally protected computer software copyright. The court lawfully dismissed Linctex's "fair use" defense, clarifying that the use had a direct commercial purpose. The judgment is now legally effective, providing final and comprehensive judicial protection for CLO's legitimate rights and interests. "We sincerely respect and thank the Chinese judicial authorities affirming the severity of the violations. This outcome fully reflects the importance China places on intellectual property protection. It sends a crucial signal to the entire industry about respecting and adhering to the rules, and it strengthens our convictions about deepening our commitment to the Chinese market," said Simon Kim, CEO of CLO Virtual Fashion. "We pursued this case to protect not only our own innovations but the stability of the entire digital fashion ecosystem. Brands and companies need to know that the tools they rely on are stable, secure, and built on sound foundations." Kim further emphasized, "CLO's commitment to the Chinese market is long-term and steadfast. Moving forward, we will continue to empower the digital transformation of China's fashion industry through localized product development, responsive technical support, and deep collaboration with ecosystem partners." Linctex has been ordered to immediately cease all infringing activities and compensate CLO. CLO remains committed to its global anti-piracy efforts, ensuring a fair, competitive, and secure environment for all creators and enterprises in the digital fashion space. **About CLO Virtual Fashion** Evolved from the word "clothing", CLO Virtual Fashion has been transforming and innovating the way people communicate and consume fashion since its launch in 2009.
