COUNTERFEITORS FINED

By D.E.Levine

You'd think with a company as big and well known as Symantec the company would be exempt from the actions of counterfeiters. But it isn't so, and worse still, in a recent judgement the counterfeiters brought to justice were distributors.

In California the court awarded Symantec $18.6 million in two lawsuits against the distributors who were found guilty of selling counterfeit Symantec products.

During the trials, Symantec alleged copyright and trademark infringement and fraud against the two distributors.
