    High court rejects Tiffany’s appeal in eBay suit…

    Thursday, December 2nd, 2010

    It seems that big brands have their hands full with differing court outcomes…?

     A U.S. District Court decided in 2008 that eBay was not liable for any trademark infringement from the sale of counterfeit Tiffany products on its auction site. Tiffany appealed the decision but the U.S. Supreme Court yesterday refused to hear the appeal. Similar cases have also found in favour of eBay (such as the May 2009 L’Oreal v eBay case in France) stating that it is the brand’s responsibility to police counterfeit goods, however others have found in favour of the brands (e.g. Nov 2009, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton v eBay).

    Counterfeit Medicines: Health and Harm…

    Friday, November 26th, 2010

     Counterfeiting has a long history. For most commodities it is simply the theft of brand owners’ intellectual property, a trademark violation. But fake medicines can also kill.

    Fake goods make £1.3 billion for criminals every year…

    Friday, November 26th, 2010

    Serious and organised criminals are increasingly involved in the trading of counterfeit goods, the charity Crimestoppers has warned. SOCA has teamed up with Crimestoppers to promote the Fakes Fund Crime campaign and squash the myth that counterfeiting is a harmless enterprise. In reality it is often run by international, highly organised and extremely profitable crime networks which are also involved in weapons trafficking, prostitution, drug smuggling and people smuggling. A recent review suggested that the criminal gain from counterfeiting in the UK was worth £1.3 billion every year…
