Three Canadian companies have been ordered to cover roughly $2.5 million for selling knock-off Louis Vuitton and Burberry handbags in what a Federal Court judge describes as a possible "egregious" case of trademark infringement.
Vancouver-based companies Singga Enterprises Inc. and Carnation Fashion Company, along with Altec Productions of Toronto, were accused of importing, manufacturing anselling handbags bearing Louis Vuitton and Burberry logos.
Louis Vuitton and Burberry filed their lawsuit after using private detectives for two years to see warehouses and purchase fake handbags in person and online.
Judge James Russell said all three companies were involved in large-scale importing, manufacturing and selling of fake handbags and took steps to disguise their actions.
