Danish ROLEX customs seizure heads for Court of Justice
Last year the Danish Maritime and Commercial Court, in a controversial judgment which attracted a lot of attention (noted on Class 46 here), ruled that the Danish customs was entitled to destroy all counterfeits seized by the customs, without any compensation to the consignee, even when the consignee is a consumer -- and even, as in this case, where the consignment in question consisted of a single item, a ROLEX watch. The zero tolerance of counterfeits stated in this decision was valuable for all brand owners, but was questioned by some Danish law professors, and the decision was appealed to the Supreme Court.
Class 46 thanks Jeppe Brogaard Clausen (MAQS Law Firm, Copenhagen) for this information.
