Twenty One Pilots Sues Temu Over Knockoff Merchandise: ‘Blatant Copies’

Twenty One Pilots accuse Temu of selling counterfeit merchandise and offensive products, seeking a permanent injunction and damages up to $2 million per counterfeit mark sold, lawyers say.

  • Twenty One Pilots filed a trademark infringement lawsuit in U.S. federal court on September 10, 2025, against Chinese e-commerce giant Temu for selling counterfeit merchandise.
  • The lawsuit followed a pattern of legal actions led by attorney Jeff Gluck, who filed seven claims in August and previously sued Temu for similar violations on behalf of the MF Doom estate.
  • Court documents include dozens of photos showing fake Twenty One Pilots posters, shirts, mugs, and socks, with some items almost identical to official merchandise sold for $35 but offered on Temu at $7.54.
  • The band’s legal team characterized Temu as a marketplace flooded with counterfeit and unlawful merchandise, and they accused the company of unethical behavior, including the sale of products linked to forced labor, hazardous materials, and content that promotes homophobia and violence.
  • Twenty One Pilots seeks up to $2 million per counterfeit mark, a permanent injunction to stop sales, and a recall of infringing products, reflecting broader concerns about Temu’s impact on intellectual property and marketplace ethics.
