The accused have been identified as Faizan Shaikh, 20, a resident of Mankhurd, and Abdul Rahman Darbar Shaikh, 25, from Gowandi.Acting on the tip off, we raided the premises of SK Enterprises, Saifi Hostel, Musafir Khana in south Mumbai on March 11 at 4 pm and 5,730 pieces of counterfeit Ray-Ban Sunglasses belonging to M/s Luxottica Group SPA were recovered and two accused have been arrested,” a senior officer of CB Control, EOW told mid-day.
A case has been registered at MRA Marg police station against the two accused under relevant sections of the Copyright Act Registered on Thursday.
The accused and seized material have been handed over to MRA Marg police station for further investigation.Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses, designed in 1952, were famously worn by James Dean in “Rebel Without A Cause,” President John F. Kennedy, and the Blues Brothers and are still favored by young trendsetters today.
The distinctive, blocky frames with silver rivets at the temples have long been both fashion and design icons, with a price tag of $155 and up.
But cheap knockoffs are being sold throughout the country, claims the Wayfarer’s maker, Luxottica Group, and the Italy-based eyewear company is going after them with a wave of trademark infringement lawsuits in an effort to reclaim its brand.
The lawsuits have been lodged in several states this year, including at least 10 filed over the past few weeks in San Diego federal court, alleging counterfeit use of the Ray-Ban and/or Wayfarer logo or name.The San Diego suits target a wide range of business, from Spencer’s novelties shops to Party City stores to discount websites to distributors.
For example, a search of the Spencer’s website shows several so-called Wayfarer sunglasses for $12.99 each. Party City’s website lists a similar pair for $6.99. Neither company responded to requests for interviews.
Similar lawsuits elsewhere claim the Ray-Ban logo is misused on fakes at an indoor flea market in Atlanta and at a store in Miami, where the owner is accused of ordering counterfeits from China.
