We have received a letter from a solicitors, stating that the goods we've been selling infringe the brands trademark.
We are very careful with the brands we stock and normally send them off to be authenticated by a third party. We send them detailed pictures of the watches mechanism and markings. Every time the watches have been returned as authentic.
The solicitors state that the serial numbers are a different structure than that of a real watch. They have come to the conclusion that the watches are not real.
Furthrmore, they have included a signed statement from a brand analyst confirming this statement.
I find it odd that they have not inspected the mechanics of the watch. Furthermore, they have sent me an invoice for costs totalling £1,400 and require me to send all our goods to them, otherwise they will start issuing legal proceedings against us.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
Thanks in advance
