Toothless and inept Cisco brand protection ballyhoos counterfeit photo op in Vietnam

Once more, the toothless and inept Cisco Brand Protection folks are proving they have much more bark than bite.

In a recent note to Cisco channel partners, Cisco Brand Protection is touting the bust of 2 resellers in Vietnam for selling counterfeit Cisco.

------------

"In addition to having their counterfeit products destroyed, the two resellers received monetary penalties of VND100,000,000 and VND91,319,200 respectively."

"These fines are amongst the most severe ever meted out in Vietnam for intellectual property offences."

------------

Cisco Brand Protection has counterfeiters in Vietnam shaking in their little counterfeit boots.

How so?

Converting to USD the most severe fines in Vietnam history:

100,000,000.00 VND = 6,267.62770 USD

91,319,200.00 VND = 5,721.9342 USD

Ouch!

Those severe fines have got to hurt!

------------

Proving Cisco Brand Protection means business, at least in Vietnam:

In the below photo op, Cisco Brand Protection and the authorities in Hanoi, held a destruction event with Cisco’s representatives present to witness the destruction of the Cisco counterfeits seized.

Dispatching a pavement roller to crush 12 empty counterfeit Cisco boxes, most certainly provides a provocative and menacing visual warning to Cisco counterfeiters in Vietnam, that finally Cisco Brand Protection means business!

Thank goodness that Cisco Brand Protection is striking fear into the hearts of counterfeit Cisco resellers in Vietnam.

After all, the 12 empty counterfeit Cisco boxes being crushed above, could have been much better deployed by counterfeit Cisco power sellers on eBay!
