Authorities at Ain Sokhna Port have successfully intercepted a container carrying counterfeit eyewear, fraudulently branded with the trademarks of several renowned international brands. This seizure is part of ongoing efforts to combat intellectual property infringement and prevent counterfeit products from entering the market.
Upon conducting an inspection based on risk analysis and intelligence reports, enforcement officials discovered a large quantity of counterfeit eyewear concealed within the container. The counterfeit goods, intended for local distribution, not only violate intellectual property rights but also pose significant risks to consumer health and safety. Counterfeit eyewear often fails to meet industry standards, resulting in inadequate UV protection, poor lens quality, and potential eye damage.
Legal actions have been initiated against the individuals responsible for the shipment, and investigations are underway to trace the supply chain involved in this illicit trade. Authorities remain vigilant in identifying and dismantling networks that distribute counterfeit goods, ensuring that perpetrators are held accountable.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Egypt’s enforcement authorities for their unwavering support in safeguarding intellectual property rights. Additionally, we commend our team for their relentless monitoring efforts, which culminated in this successful seizure and the cessation of the violator’s illicit activities.
