РАС Wins Again

Last year, Scotland-based Glenmore Jewellery became the fortieth member of the organisation РАС (Protection Against Copying) to take successful legal action to protect its products. Glenmore, which sells hand-made jewellery designed and produced by local artists, was angry to discover a competitor, Nevis, selling copies of these designs, Nevis has now agreed to stop selling the products, as well as to pay Glenmore"s legal costs.

Another Scottish company, Highland Design, also asked for PAC’s help last year; as a result, Grampian Gifts has agreed to stop selling glass designs similar to products made by Highland Design. Grampian will also pay Highland Design 50% of the profit it has made on these ranges over the last four years.

‘Recently there’s been a sharp rise in the number of reports received from members,’ says James Ellis, PAC’s Chief Executive. 'This demonstrates that designers clearly feel we can help them. If they discover copies of their designs at exhibitions, for example, they are advised to contact us immediately.’ РАС, with over 700 members world-wide, has an almost 100% success rate in legal action taken to defend the interests of the individuals and companies it represents.

Glenmore, который продает, изготовленные вручную ювелирные украшения, разработанные и производимые местными мастерами, была разгневана, чтобы обнаружить конкурента, Невис, продавая копии этих конструкций, Невис сейчас договорились прекратить продажу продукции, а также оплатить Glenmore"s судебные издержки.

Другой шотландской компании Highland Дизайн, просил ПКК помочь в прошлом году, и, как результат, Grampian Подарки согласилась остановить продажи стеклянными конструкциями, похожими на продукты, сделанные Highland Дизайн. Grampian будет также уделять Highland Дизайн 50% прибыли, он произвел на эти диапазоны в течение последних четырех лет.

"В последнее время наблюдается резкий рост числа докладов, полученных от членов", - говорит Джеймс Эллис, PAC и Главный исполнительный директор. 'Это показывает, что дизайнеры четко чувствую, мы можем помочь им. Если они обнаружат, что их копии образцов на выставках, например, рекомендуется немедленно связаться с нами.’ РАС, с более чем 700 членов по всему миру, имеет почти 100% успеха в правовых мер для защиты интересов граждан и компаний, которые он представляет.
