Allegations of Uniform Design Plagiarism: UU Paotui Accuses Taobao Flash Sale of Copying Workwear
UU Paotui, a delivery service, has accused Taobao Flash Delivery of plagiarizing its rider uniform design. In an open letter, UU Paotui highlighted similarities in color scheme (black and orange), design architecture (slim fit, angled lines), and functional details (reflective strips) between Taobao’s new uniforms and their own “Hurricane Series” launched in 2023. While acknowledging the designs aren’t identical, UU Paotui claims the overlaps have caused public confusion and damaged its brand image.
