Are Brompton 'limiting' the Brompton name on Temu?

[Fastpedaller]

Just something I've noticed recently...... I bought one of the 3D printed tooltrays complete with tools from Temu a few months ago (and it's very good IMHO)
I wonder if Brompton have taken action leading to Brompton items being advertised on Temu? I cannot find the tooltray any more, but a 'Brompton' search only results in books. More puzzling though is a general 'bike parts' search results in, as expected hundreds of parts but included amonst them are a hat and a handbag, both with the Brompton name clearly shown - whether the sellers are trying to 'pass them of' as genuine or not (I haven't looked in detail), but I'd have expected B to object (understandably). BTW the tooltray had no Brompton name on it, and is clearly not a replica (or pretending to be) - more an alternative. To be clear I don't support sales of counterfeit products.

Personally I think the genuine Brompton toolkit is worth the money, it’s a work of art.

I doubt they are limiting anything but rather enforcing their trademarks.

But it seems some 'slip through'?

Not surprising, particularly when they are outside their core business.
