VANCOUVER, WA – Fitness company Nautilus, Inc., on being alerted that counterfeit goods entered Canada, filed suit against importer/distributor, SC Excel Technology, Inc. of Montreal and obtained an order to enter its premises and seize counterfeit goods and relevant records. Facing overwhelming evidence of intentional importation of counterfeit goods, SC Excel Technology admitted its actions and was permanently prevented from trading in Nautilus and Bowflex products. The seized goods were delivered to Nautilus.

Nautilus also recently filed suit against Fitness Nutrition alleging trademark, patent and copyright infringement for knowingly selling counterfeit goods and refusing to cease such sales after notice from Nautilus.

Counterfeit goods are a significant problem for consumers and businesses. Consumers who buy counterfeit goods find poor quality and dangerous goods that can break and injure people or damage property. In addition to lost sales, Nautilus must tell upset customers that the poor quality goods they seek to return are counterfeit.
