Copyright

[Bluffmaster]

Someone has taken me to the court for the products that he claims that it is his copyright. I was not aware of the court judgement date and the court has rolled out the judgement in his favour and the guy has raided my shop and took over 10k products. The products are all from well know wholesalers and I have invoices for the products. I spoke with all of them and they are saying that what has done illegal. Plz I need advise

 

[WaveJumper]

They may have come from "well known Wholesalers" and you may have invoices, but are these fake goods in which case yes they can be seized.

Not sure how someone would have taken you personally to court without you knowing about it unless you have been ignoring letters?

The bottom line is if the goods are what they say they should be, and your wholesaler can 100% back this up with all relevant paper work, then you need to take some proper legal advice, but I have a strong feeling you are going to be fighting a loosing battle.

Slightly different I know but I have been at some major motoring events and seen trading standards swoop in and decimate the trading area where stalls are selling counterfeit products and theres little you can do about it.

This

First and foremost, you need to pay attention to detail - including opening correspondence (physical or otherwise) because your post suggests a shambolic approach to business

Presumably HCEOs recovered goods? (If not, who? - it matters)

Is the business limited or sole trader? Who was invoiced for the goods

All of these things - and many more - need addressing to get any kind of meaningful advice

Who is this guy who stole your goods? The same one who took you to court? How did they take the goods? Did they just walk in and carry out boxes of stuff?

Are you sure they weren’t just a thief or this was some sort of scam?

Do you have a copy of the court documents?

What were you found guilty of?

If you never got details of the court action, have you contacted the court to get details?

Who came to your shop and took the goods?

If bailiffs, did you not receive communicztion from them?

No I was not aware of the hearing and the bailiffs came with the guy who made the claim with the court letter.

 

[fisicx]

No I was not aware of the hearing and the bailiffs came with the guy who made the claim with the court letter.

Which was probably fake. You have been scammed.

No I know the guy but the other person who came with was claiming that he is from court enforcement and he did not have eve an original ID. He had photocopy of his ID and that is why I called the police and unfortunately police did not do anything

 

[Paul Kelly ICHYB]

No I was not aware of the hearing and the bailiffs came with the guy who made the claim with the court letter.

With the court, I think you would get a couple letters before the court date and one after.

Bailiffs would try to make contact at least once/few times before attending.

Sounds fishy to me.

I did not copy anything I bought the goods from other suppliers basically this guy is a bully. He is targeting small business. He tried to threaten few of these wholesalers but they confront him with their lawyers and he never contact them again.

In which case, confront him with a lawyer. You won’t get your goods back, they have already been sold on.

 

[Mark T Jones]

As I said in my last post: you have been scammed.

From the replies so far, I strongly suspect they've been negligent.

The 'offence' may be real or otherwise, but the responses here suggest that there very likely was a couty hearing & judgement, and that an HCEO did recover the goods.

We are guessing, of course because the OP isn't giving relevant information

I was not aware of the court judgement date and the court has rolled out the judgement in his favour

So did you not get anything at all in the post?

Paul.

No unfortunately

 

[antropy]

No unfortunately

Surely they can't do all that without having sent you plenty of letters?

Having said that, we took a non-payer to court a couple of years ago and plenty of letters were never sent - the court actually admitted it had not sent them by mistake - not just one but several.

Hi

I read about something similar if not the same?, as an i.p case, regarding LONDON ENGLAND hoodies and Posh Fashion? Worth a google.

Are your contact details upto date, eg addresses of principle place of business, registered business address etc?

If you answer some of the questions people have posted I'm sure they could help you, it seems like a very strange and unfortunate situation to be in, 10k is no small figure
