PUMA strikes back at counterfeit trade in Sri Lanka

PUMA SE, a global pioneer in the sportswear industry, has successfully obtained four enjoining orders from the Commercial High Court of Colombo against connected suspected entities engaging in the sale of counterfeit goods.

The company, represented by its registered Attorneys-at-Law, Sudath Perera Associates, initiated civil litigation against the entities “SAFFANS”, “Saffans Mens Shoes Ltd.”, “Saffans Bridal Shoes Ltd.” and “Saffans Shoes Ltd.” under the provisions of the Intellectual Property Act No. 36 of 2003.

The actions were based on allegations that the defendants were involved in the sale of counterfeit goods unlawfully bearing PUMA SE's registered trademarks, including the iconic "PUMA" name and the leaping cat logo.
