Chopard Fake Watches Deceive Unsuspecting Buyers
When several unsuspecting owners of Chopard fake watches sent their watches to Chopard for repair, the company discovered that they were not genuine. The watch owners were deceived into believing they were the owners of authentic Chopard watches and many even had what appeared to be legitimate certificates of authenticity and warranty papers. The watches were apparently sold by unauthorized dealers and sellers on auction websites such as eBay who attempted to claim that they were authentic Chopard watches.
Upon the discovery of the Chopard replicas, the company filed a lawsuit against several defendants for infringing on Chopard trademarks by the manufacture and sale of Chopard fake watches. In April 2006 investigators and law enforcement officials siezed Chopard replica watches, watch bands and counterfeit certificates from a jewelry store in downtown Los Angeles. Chopard is seeking damages of over $5 million from the defendants.
Chopard has registered their unique and innovative designs as trademarks, along with their name and logo. If you are interested in purchasing a Chopard watch and want to ensure its authenticity, you can check on the company's website at www.chopard.com for a listing of authorized dealers. There are many dealers, online and in stores, that sell Chopard watches but are not authorized dealers. Many of them state that they are selling authentic products. However, the only way to be sure that you are buying an authentic Chopard watch is to purchase it from a merchant that is listed on the company website.
In addition, there are many websites that are offering Chopard fake watches and are not even claiming to be offering the genuine product. If you choose to purchase a watch from one of these dealers, please be aware that you may in fact be promoting an ongoing violation of trademark infringement and even participating in criminal activity if the item you are purchasing is covered under their trademark registrations.
