Swatch.
Watchmaker The Swatch Group Ltd. has secured a $1.1 million verdict in Manhattan federal court against a SoHo landlord found liable for counterfeits sold on its premises, in litigation that saw an attorney nearly sanctioned over allegations he misled the district court.
Swatch went on to dismiss the firm, Collen IP Intellectual Property Law, which let go of the attorney in the wake of the judge’s decision not to impose sanctions. Swatch’s new counsel at Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale & Dorr ultimately succeeded at trial on behalf of the client, securing a substantial money award in the battle over fake luxury products sold in Lower Manhattan.
