The global Indian electrical equipment business Havells India Limited has just lately realized how important it is to take action to safeguard its intellectual property rights in the United Arab Emirates.
In less than ten months, a favorable judgment was obtained and upheld all the way to the appellate court in the enforcement action taken against a well-known trader who was found to be dealing in fake Havells items! Tuesday, July 25, 2023, in Sharjah: The Sharjah Economic Development Department and Sharjah Police joined forces with the Brand Protection team of Havells India Limited, an Indian multinational electrical equipment company that produces fans, modular switches and wiring accessories, water heaters, industrial and domestic circuit protection switchgear, LED lighting, and lighting for domestic, commercial, and industrial applications.
Havells carried out a thorough investigation against the counterfeiter after learning the first details regarding this business dealing in fake goods. Following that, the Sharjah authorities conducted a raid, during which they confiscated the fake Havells merchandise.
In fact, on January 3, 2024, the Criminal Court rendered a ruling in Havells India Limited’s favor following a number of court proceedings. The ruling lays forth the following:
The court found the two defendants guilty of faking a registered and protected trademark and ordered each to pay a fine of AED 20,000.
