Panasonic Takes Pro-Active Measures to Protect Brand Against Counterfeit Products

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.
