Disputes/Litigation

The unlawful reproduction of an industrial design for the purpose of manufacturing products of an identical appearance, offering them for sale, importing, using or the storing them is an offence. Counterfeiting of an industrial design is punishable by imprisonment of between 6 months and two years or by a fine. Piracy and counterfeiting need to be quickly identified, and stopped, and with our international network of contacts we are well placed to help brand owners to tackle piracy.
