Shein has accused Temu of large-scale copyright infringement in a UK legal battle, claiming Temu used thousands of its photos to promote copies of its clothing. Temu counters that Shein's lawsuit aims to stifle competition. The trial at London's High Court could impact e-commerce practices and supplier relationships. Temu has also counter-claimed for damages after removing product listings due to Shein's injunction. Both companies are facing regulatory scrutiny as they expand internationally, with potential challenges from changes in customs exemptions.
