December 2009 by Marc Jacob
Sun Microsystems, Inc. announced that it has won judgments against a U.S. counterfeiter of Sun’s products and a U.K. violator of Sun’s trademarks.
In the U.S. case, Sun obtained a federal court judgment against Joe Faris, the primary owner of Sun Valley Technical Repair which was a major counterfeiter of Sun products. The judgment resolves Sun’s long-standing litigation against Faris and Sun Valley Technical Repair, and requires Faris to cooperate with Sun as well as make a substantial monetary payment. Faris continues to be subject to potential criminal sanctions for his activities. Sun has invited customers who believe that they may have purchased counterfeit product to contact Sun for a free evaluation of their products’ provenance.
