Canon wins lawsuit against eBay sellers accused of peddling counterfeit batteries
(Digital Photography Review)
 


Canon USA has announced a successful lawsuit against two eBay sellers who were allegedly peddling counterfeit `Canon` batteries. The camera company had filed a complaint against the defendants in October 2019, claiming the sellers were using its trademarks and that doing so could `mislead the public as to the source and authenticity` of the products, potentially to their peril. The legal victory took place on December 12, 2019, in the US District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. According to Canon, the defendants in the case were barred from `infringing and counterfeiting the valuable Canon trademarks.` The sellers will also be required to pay Canon a `significant amount of money,` according to the camera company. Below is a copy of the court documents, obtained by PetaPixel: Counterfeit batteries put both the operator and their camera at risk, Canon explains on its website. These products may be poorly made and prone to overheating; they may also offer lackluster performance when compared to the real thing, resulting in frequent recharging and shorter lifetimes. Signs of a counterfeit battery include lack of an anti-hologram sticker on the bottom, modifications to the company`s logo and an inability to communicate with the camera.
