Rust, Cannata, and Misiti Secure Permanent Injunction Against International Counterfeiter

With the help of a client’s industry contacts, the Rivkin team was able to track down the New York headquarters of an international counterfeiting operation whose reach extended all the way to the shores of Dubai. Specifically, the team was able to identify not only the shell corporations behind the illicit scheme, but also the individual responsible for spearheading its operation which sought to knock-off our client’s best-selling product in the U.A.E. With their targets in site, our team immediately filed suit under the Lanham Act quickly resulting in both a significant monetary payment to our client and the entry of a permanent injunction against all defendants.
