    vendor Kyocera Mita has taken out an injunction against a firm caught
    importing counterfeit toner cassettes into Ireland.The counterfeit haul
    has been valued at over £430,000 by Kyocera Mita and the company, which
    has not been named, has been ordered to pay the vendor’s legal costs.The
    case was brought to the vendor’s attention by a Dublin-based partner
    who had concerns over the authenticity of the products and handed them
    over to the vendor.Kyocera Mita tested a batch, confirmed they were not
    genuine and has now issued the firm with an injunction ordering it to
    hand over the counterfeit goods.

    Jun Okumura, general manager of
    Kyocera Mita, said taking action against counterfeiters was always a
    priority for the firm.He said: “We will not tolerate trade in
    counterfeit products, and will rigorously pursue all parties in the
    distribution chain to protect our intellectual property rights.“We see
    this as an important part of our role of safeguarding the revenues of
    our channel partners who could otherwise see unfair and unlawful
    competition from sales of counterfeit products.”
