Joint move on counterfeit goods

Major foreign computer manufacturers and distributors in Thailand have joined forces with police to crack down on counterfeit goods in Bangkok, with more than 1,000 items seized worth more than Bt1 million.

Legal representatives of Hewlett-Packard, Canon Kabushiki Kaisha, Brother Industries, Samsung Electronics and Seiko Epson recently jointly raided a manufacturing plant and warehouse on Chan Road.

Tilleke and Gibbins International, a law firm that works as a consultant to these companies, yesterday said the main fake products seized were counterfeit toner/ink cartridges.

Those arrested will be prosecuted for trademark infringement and could face a maximum fine of Bt400,000 and/or four years' imprisonment.

Representatives from the companies said they would continue to coordinate their efforts with police to rid the market of counterfeit goods.

"We were pleased the police acted out of concern that consumers could be deceived with regard to the origin and quality of these questionable products on the market," one representative said.

He said the police would further step up the campaign against manufacturers and retailers of dubious products.

They obviously haven't learned from the Thai government how to do this properly. All they have to do is call it "generic" and it won't be illegal.

They could label it as a drug. That would get them off the hook in Thailand nowadays too.

Good to see that the Thai Police can sniff out illegally made Ink Jet cartriges. Now how about finding the gang that stabbed my friend to near death in phuket last year.
