In the complaint, Twenty One Pilots accuse Temu of manufacturing and selling a "myriad of items that are counterfeit or blatant copies" of their merchandise and other intellectual property. The lawsuit alleges this creates an "implied relationship" between Twenty One Pilots and Temu, which constitutes "unfair competition" that devalues the band's brand. As evidence, the complaint includes dozens of pages of photos comparing official merch to the alleged counterfeit products sold on Temu. One example features an official $35 Twenty One Pilots t-shirt alongside a strikingly similar replica sold on Temu for $7.54.
