Athena Cosmetics, parent company to RevitaLash Cosmetics, has secured another triumph against counterfeiters.
After discovering illegal knockoffs of its products on online retailer, Perfume's Club, the cosmetics company undertook swift legal action against the retailer.
The nearly year-long legal battle resulted in victory for Athena Cosmetics, with Perfume's Club agreeing to immediately cease and desist any further sales of the RevitaLash knock-off products on its site.
Along with removing all content related to RevitaLash, Perfume's Club was also able to trace and identify their source of counterfeit products to online wholesale company, Alito S.R.O, based in the Czech Republic.
"This is a victory not just for our company, but for all brands whose intellectual property is infringed upon online. It sends a clear message that retailers need to take responsibility for the actions of their third-party vendors and do more to prevent counterfeiting on their sites,” added Lori Jacobus, president of Athena Cosmetics.
"We are proud of our team for fighting tirelessly to protect our brand."
The recent victory of RevitaLash against one of Europe's largest online fragrance retailers further consolidates RevitaLash and its parent company's dedication to brand protection.
'For Athena Cosmetics, safety is the number one priority," said founder and CEO of Athena Cosmetics, Michael Brinkenhoff.
"That's why we are committed to stopping the sale of counterfeit and 'black market' RevitaLash products, ensuring the welfare of customers by making sure that any product purchased is safety tested and compliant with all applicable regulations.”
