What may happen next

Schedule A plaintiffs usually move for a TRO within days of filing. Once granted, marketplaces freeze defendants’ funds. If your store is frozen in the coming days and your products relate to this brand, this case is a likely source.

Seller checklist

Apparel brand enforcement may involve trademarks, copyright (product photos), or design patents; the complaint will tell. We suggest:

  • Check whether titles or keywords use the Popilush name
  • Check whether main or model images come from Popilush; copied brand photos are the most common apparel issue
  • Watch shapewear dresses and bodysuits that closely resemble its best sellers

Already frozen?

Keep the platform notice, emails from plaintiff’s counsel, affected listings, and sales records. Hold off on replying to the plaintiff or signing anything, and have counsel review the case. See: Store Frozen by a TRO: The First 72 Hours.
