The actual organisation does not have a website (I am told this is due to security - they house a large quantity of counterfeit goods in their warehouse) but they can be contacted on 01933 623236.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-29544372158797136702011-12-15T08:24:07.357+00:002011-12-15T08:24:07.357+00:00Here's totally different story:

If it's mainly a matter of relabeling it ought not to be too difficult and audit trails can be made to peter out.Graham Barkerhttp://www.abettermousetrap.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-62167791375789298392011-12-14T20:52:23.088+00:002011-12-14T20:52:23.088+00:00Feels very good, but I worry for the poor brandown...Feels very good, but I worry for the poor brandowners.<br /><br />Where the heavily branded goods are donated to His Church, does the brandowner consent to this? If so, does that not exhaust their EU rights (Peak Holdings), or is that all changed now provided they aren't for resale in the EU (L'Oreal v eBay)? Or is there a clever way around this?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-84486358108015622412011-12-14T19:19:21.103+00:002011-12-14T19:19:21.103+00:00Paper bags are not sold per se, but given for free...Paper bags are not sold per se, but given for free to the shooper who has purchased an item of clothing. Does TM law protect these bags?<br /><br />What if people sold "Chanel" stickers for application to blank paper bags? Or even "Channel" stickers with each letter individually applicable?<br /><br />What I wnat to know is, does anybody actually buy those expensive desginer (LV) handbags anymore knowing when they must know everyone will think it is a fake anyway? Arguably, the real thing could be accused of passing off as the fakes have more of a reputation.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-31843538114354855112011-12-14T18:53:45.127+00:002011-12-14T18:53:45.127+00:00Glad to see the goods are not destroyed.

Do the fake Uggs include the real, traditional ugg boots made in Australia?<br /><br />Shame Ugg aren't subject to protection based on origin, but then the trademarked boots couldn't be sold because they are made in China or Malaysia.<br /><br />Meanwhile, I hope His Church are not infringing my trademark "Not" by applying them to their goods: "Not Tommy Hilfiger", "Not Levis" etc.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-75498248174195295772011-12-14T18:16:48.413+00:002011-12-14T18:16:48.413+00:00And they could recycle these fake paper bags: http...And they could recycle these fake paper bags: http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/bizchina/2011-12/12/content_14249660.htmNicolanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-73084734543234347822011-12-14T17:36:31.305+00:002011-12-14T17:36:31.305+00:00For an even more Christmassy "fakes-into-plou...For an even more Christmassy "fakes-into-ploughshares" story, I've heard about a Dutch charity that makes plush animals out of seized fake Ugg boots.
