goods are infringing goods and counterfeit products is an objective matter
If the goods are infringing goods and counterfeit products is an objective matter. State of the defendant of the mind, never mind. Likewise, the defendant’s mood is irrelavant to the issue of import. ” In other words, do not you ever buy Nike shoes, or you can sue. Of course, all this makes you wonder: what the hell I was thinking about Nike? We have seen how bad customer counter suing the RIAA and others, but this goes beyond that. Here is a case where a man seemed to think that just buying shoes legitimate, Nike Football Boots and Nike’s response is to take it to court, take him to court and then win the lawsuit against him. The judge did point out that he “wondered if the hammer of this procedure is needed to crack this nut of this magnitude,” and even then Nike pushed forward, stating that companies “have no realistic alternative but to enforce their rights this way. ” Um. Of course not: the alternative is not suing their customers. That said, at least, the judge Mr Bateman did not pay any fine or award to Nike (Nike though borrowed money), but rather, he has the promise not to violate in the future, allowing the shoes (still held by customs in the UK) to be destroyed and provide details of where you bought the shoes. Of course, the only way to ensure not to violate so maybe you do not buy Nike shoes again, and it has no way of knowing in advance whether they are infringing or not. Good job Nike.
