When a virtual sale turns into a real legal battle! American Girl sued a Chinese company for selling counterfeit dolls online. The New York courts asserted their jurisdiction in this virtual commerce case, even though the company is not based in the United States. The mere act of engaging with U.S. customers—taking orders, despite later cancellations, displaying a New York address on their website, and requesting payment details—was deemed sufficient to constitute trademark infringement. The American Girl LLC vs. Zembrka case, explored by our Partner Lara Dagher, is changing the game for e-commerce in New York.

I hadn’t had the chance to post this earlier, but I wanted to share a proud moment from attending the ITR (International Tax Review) EMEA Tax Awards 2024 on September 18, where Eptalex was shortlisted in five major categories, including UAE Tax Firm of the Year 2024. While we didn’t win an award this time, it was a privilege to stand among industry giants like Al Tamimi, Baker McKenzie, Clyde & Co, DLA Piper, and others, reflecting how far we’ve come as a firm. A special mention to my good friend and client, Matthew K., who made it all the way to attend the event with me. Your support and presence made it all the more meaningful. #Eptalex #ITRAwards2024 #UAE_TaxFirm #TaxLaw #Gratitude
