Conviction in Private Criminal Prosecution – Counterfeit Goods

Brenda Bradley, of Garvery Road, E16, was recently convicted for her involvement in selling counterfeit goods at Rathbone Market, Canning Town.

The case, brought by TM Eye as a private criminal prosecution, was heard at Thames Magistrates Court on Wednesday, 3rd July 2024.

TM Eye’s undercover investigators conducted three covert test purchases, confirming the sale of counterfeit goods. This conviction underscores the critical work TM Eye continues to do in combating counterfeit goods and safeguarding the intellectual property rights of its clients.

Over the past four years, TM Eye has been responsible for over 80% of all UK prosecutions and convictions under the Trademark Act for counterfeit sales. This case serves as another example of their dedication to protecting consumers and brands alike.
