Our investigators reported
that large quantities of counterfeit CK products are distributed and sold in
UAE. Acting under instructions of CALVIN KLEIN – New York and with joint
efforts of our office (NJQ & Associates), Baker & McKenzie – UK (Paul
Rawlinson), and Intelligence & Investigation Services Limited IIS (Jane
Forrest and Tim Mascall), we filed complaints in the three major emirates.
Furthermore, in an effort to
increase and develop the awareness of UAE officials regarding counterfeit
products, a seminar was held, during which the IIS representatives tackled
the various aspects of identifying fake goods.
Dubai:
With the coordination of the Dubai Economic Development Department
inspectors, our investigators, Paul Rawlinson and representatives of IIS,
raids were carried out against the dealers of fake products, which were
successfully confiscated.
Sharjah:
On the same day and at the same time, raids were also carried out in the
Emirate of Sharjah, which is considered as the storage and warehouses for
Dubai’s traders/dealers. The results were favorable in that all fake
products were successfully seized.
Abu Dhabi:
Simultaneously, another complaint was filed with the Public Prosecutor
against certain infringers in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. Now, since the
authority in charge is the Public Prosecutor himself and the police carry
out the raids, no other party is allowed to accompany them.
