With the great efforts of ATB Intellectual Property and UAE Authorities massive quantity of counterfeit products that pose a health risk to people was seized.
Earlier this year, our team on the grounds discovered a huge warehouse located in one of the smallest and the least populated emirates in the UAE. This warehouse is suspected of operating as a factory of counterfeit products that are being supplied to convenience shops or delicatessens.
Following nearly a month of surveillance, our on-ground team has observed the trucks departing from the warehouse, carrying products that pose health risks. As a result, our team remains dedicated to tracking these trucks, which has ultimately led them to uncover an additional warehouse.
Due to the risk of the goods and urgency of the matter, we immediately relayed the information with the UAE authorities and conducted the enforcement action against the illegal manufacturer.
Involving officers from a range of law enforcement took a big support and part on the enforcement action, the seizure lasts for two (2) days to finalize due to the quantity involve not only for the finished products but also for the raw materials and factory paraphernalia found at the premises.
Currently, we are doing our best to combat counterfeiting and infringement activities in the region with the full coordination of UAE local authorities. We aim not only to protect the brand of our clients but also to dismantle all illegal manufacturers, sellers, suppliers, and importers of products that pose a health risk to people.
