Burberry Limited v. Ward, 2023 FC 1257
2023-09-19
Read full decision. Automatically generated summary:
The Plaintiffs are very well-known manufacturers, distributers and sellers of luxury fashion goods in Canada and around the world. In April 2021, they became aware that an individual in Canada known as Juvilyn Billones Ward (J. Ward) was importing, offering for sale and selling counterfeit Burberry and Chanel clothing and fashion accessories. Despite J. Ward’s initial agreement to cease her activities and to relinquish the counterfeit goods then in her possession, she has continued to import and sell counterfeit Burberry and Chanel products through a changing and expanding online presence using multiple names, aliases and Facebook pages. ... I am satisfied that the Ward Defendants are in default of their obligation to file a Statement of Defence under the Rules. I am also satisfied that the Plaintiffs have established trademark infringement, passing off and, in the case of the Burberry Plaintiffs, copyright infringement.
