This sounds like one of those crazy ideas…stealing Fish
Crates we understand but counterfeiting them?
A few weeks ago the Sydney Fish Market (SFM) was advised
that operators have been receiving poor quality crates stamped with the SFM
logo. The matter was investigated and SFM was given photographs and
subsequently sample crates, and were able to immediately deduce that these
crates had not been produced nor issued by SFM and are in fact, counterfeits.
Gus Dannoun at SFM said ‘These crates are not only an
inferior product but because they bear the SFM logo, they infringe our
trademark. We advised our solicitors who immediately commenced an
investigation. SFM will be doing everything that the law permits to seek
damages and costs for this breach of our trademark.’
He added ‘The SFM logo on the counterfeit crates is the same
as that which was first introduced in 2003 though the obvious difference in the
crates is that the logo on the genuine crates is hot stamped while the logo on
the counterfeits has been screen printed.’
