MANILA, Philippines- Nasabat ng National Bureau of Investigation (NBI) ang mahigit P121 milyong halaga ng “pekeng” Louis Vuitton products mula sa mga establisimiyento sa Cavite.
Sinabi ng NBI nitong Miyerkules na nasamsam ng mga operatiba ng NBI Intellectual Property Rights Division (NBI-IPRD) ang “counterfeit” products sa pagsisilbi ng search warrants.
“Search Warrants were served at establishments located in General Trias and Imus, Cavite, resulting in the seizure of a substantial quantity of counterfeit Louis Vuitton products with an estimated value of P121,622,838,” anito.
Inihayag din nitong nagsagawa ang mga may-ari ng mga sinalakay na establisimyento ng “infringement of trademark” na labag sa Republic Act No. 8293, ang Intellectual Property Code of the Philippines.
“The case stemmed from the complaints filed by the representative of Louis Vuitton, Mayank Vaid, against individuals and entities engaged in the unauthorized sale and distribution of counterfeit products bearing the Louis Vuitton trademark,” patuloy nito.
Pinaalalahanan ni NBI Director Jaime B. Santiago ang publiko na iwasang tangkilikin ang mga pekeng produkto. RNT/SA
