L-Acoustics takes action over Chinese counterfeiters
- Details
Working in conjunction with the GACC, L-Acoustics provided information to determine the authenticity of the suspicious products; those were later seized and dismantled at a recycling facility. GACC officials were present at the premises to attest that the stock had been destroyed and the materials - recycled, reports L-Acoustics.
The manufacturers of the counterfeit products were prosecuted as part of the L-Acoustics Anti-Counterfeiting Task Force's mission “to eradicate fake products”. “We thank the Youyiguan Customs team and our local counsel, Wanhuida, for their cooperation,” comments L-Acoustics legal counsel Laurent Ostojski. “This is but one small step in our anti-counterfeiting initiative, and we're poised to take legal action against any perpetrators in the future.”
L-Acoustics dedicates significant financial and human resources to tackle counterfeits. “These products can be deceptively similar to ours on the outside but feature poor quality components and are marketed without any warranty, service, or electrical or mechanical certification,” explains Stephane Ecalle, director of market Intelligence at L-Acoustics. “The role of our task force is not only to defend our intellectual property by constantly monitoring the market, but also to alert the public on safety risks for users, and the legal risks associated with ownership or resale of counterfeits.”
All L-Acoustics products are manufactured in Europe. More information about the L-Acoustics Anti-Counterfeiting Task Force can be seen on L-Acoustics.com, where users can also report any suspected counterfeit L-Acoustics products.
