    commercial shops that have been found to sell counterfeit printer ink
    cartridges.The ministry received a complaint from two international ink
    manufacturers about counterfeit ink cartridges that were carrying their
    logos and were being sold in the Saudi market. The fake products were

    among unsuspecting customers.The shops have been temporarily closed
    down for selling the products. Goods have been confiscated and shop
    owners are currently being questioned. According to a Ministry of
