PANASONIC SEIZES $500,000.00 OF COUNTEFEIT FAX TONERS CARTRIDGES
SECAUCUS,
NJ, Nov , 2010 — Panasonic System Networks Company of America
announced today that it has renewed its commitment to protect its nearly
century-long brand reputation from infringements against copyrights,
trademarks, patents and other intellectual property. A recent outcome of
the company’s commitment to protect its brand was its cooperation with
the Essex County, NJ Prosecutor’s Office on a raid, which resulted in
the seizure of 2,500 fax toner cartridges badged with
illegally-fabricated Panasonic labels.This seizure of the
counterfeit cartridges, which carries an approximate street value of
$500,000, was just the most recent example of Panasonic’s pro-active
offensive against the manufacturing, distribution and retail sales of
counterfeit Panasonic products. In addition to this raid, Panasonic has
brought several civil lawsuits seeking injunctions against further
counterfeiting and the award of significant monetary damages against
distributors of counterfeit merchandise.Counterfeit
office-machine consumables including the toner cartridges recently
seized deliver significantly degraded performance, durability,
reliability and hardware compatibility and can be the source of poor
quality imaging, increased cleaning and maintenance requirements. In
extreme cases, counterfeit consumables can cause actual hardware
failure. Hardware failure caused by the use of counterfeit consumables
is not covered by Panasonic’s warranty.About Panasonic System
