Surely a common office paper hole puncher couldn't be the
star of this case? Or could it be?
Background: We at Soroker Agmon Nordman, Advocates & Patent
Attorneys represent Kangaro Industries (Regd.), a manufacturer of
stationery products, based in Ludhiana, India. Kangaro's
products are distributed in many countries around the world and are
a market leader in Israel, known for their commitment for
quality.
Early this year, it came to our client's attention that Zol
Stock, an Israeli discount store chain, has been selling goods that
infringe on Kangaro's intellectual property rights.
The similarity between the original Kangaro products and the
infringing goods was striking, to say the least. The infringing
goods, imported from China, were designed to mislead consumers who
believed they were buying original Kangaro products.
