French luxury firm Louis Vuitton Malletier (LV) has filed a civil lawsuit against a Chinese business for selling fakes of its products online, a Beijing court confirmed Sunday.

The court in Beijing's Haidian District said it received LV's suit accusing three operators of the store for violating the company's trademark rights by selling fake LV clothes, shoes and bags.

The firm asked the court to stop the defendants from selling products under its registered trademark and claim a financial compensation of 250,000 yuan (about 38,000 U.S. dollars).

The three defendants were given criminal sentences in 2014 for selling counterfeits. However, LV held that the criminal sentences did not exempt the three offenders of shouldering civil responsibilities.
