Beyoncé And Jay-Z File Lawsuit To Prevent Counterfeit Merchandise

The Carters are cracking down on counterfeit tour merchandise.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z, who are currently performing their “On the Run II” show across the globe, reportedly won a lawsuit to prevent bootleggers from shilling fake tour gear.

Three Ten Merchandising Services, the company handling sales of the superstar couple’s authentic merchandise, filed a restraining order ahead of the Carters’ August 5 show in Boston, according to TMZ.

Local authorities will now have the right to immediately seize any fake merchandise they spot, saving the Carters the estimated $450,000 it would cost to file separate civil lawsuits.

Beyoncé and Jay-Z aren’t the only artists who’ve won lawsuits preventing counterfeit merchandise: Pink, Katy Perry and Lady Gaga have al reportedly filed similar orders.

The couple’s “On the Run II” tour has already stopped in Cleveland, Landover and Philadelphia and will continue on to Chicago, Detroit, Atlanta and Houston.
