Huanbei Market and Taotaoxiang, two other shopping malls in Nanjing where Louis Vuitton is making accusations of counterfeit sales, have also been sued, but the court has not yet heard that case.

Fake Louis Vuitton purses and handbags disappeared from shops in the mall on Tuesday.

However, counterfeit luxury watches and cosmetics, such as Chanel and Armani, could still be seen in many shops.

Ye Boping, a judge in the intellectual property tribunal of the Nanjing court, said the Louis Vuitton case may trigger another upsurge of luxury companies suing sellers of fakes.

In May 2010, Louis Vuitton found fake products worth 3 million yuan during a raid of several shopping areas in Nanjing.

The company claimed compensation totaling 11 million yuan, sending 17 shops to court in Dalian, Liaoning province, in August 2011.

But some luxury experts said the actions have failed to solve the problem.

"A considerable number of counterfeits are manufactured and sold by internal workers of a company, which is widely known in the industry," said Zhou Ting, director of Fortune Character Institute, which researches luxury products.

Louis Vuitton says it has a department to fight against fake products, and their crackdowns are coordinated with government agencies.

Questions:

1. What luxury brand is suing sellers of counterfeits?

2. Where were the lawsuits filed?
