The Tale of the Duck and the Mouse

Incident No.2 -

Circa 1998 -

A client of THE FIRM had flown in from New York, USA to meet with my Senior. The Complaint was that India had no regard for IPR protection [Intellectual Property Rights] and that something must be done to safeguard this famous Company’s legal interests in India.

From Crawford Market in Mumbai to Khan Market in Delhi, toys, duffel bags, backpacks were being sold by the dozens with the Company’s two famous cartoon characters. One being a famous mouse and the other being a famous duck.

These were the days of low internet penetration and comic books still ruled the roost in so far as children were concerned. Everything was offline. No instagram, no facebook, no Whats App. Nothing....

My senior entrusted me the job of paying a visit to the local police station with specific instructions to file a Complaint on behalf of the US Fortune 500 Company requesting physical police intervention to conduct raids on a very big factory on the outskirts of Mumbai churning out replicas and duplicates of the US Company’s famous two cartoon characters embossed and artistically printed on toys, bags, key chains and bed sheets.

Six continuous visits by me to the police station yielded no results as it was difficult to convince the police to devote valuable time and lend assistance in the raid of factories manufacturing duplicates, by postponing investigations of murders, rapes, robberies etc..

Finally the client decided that enough was enough. A call was made by the client to his bosses sitting in New York who in turn called up the US Consulate in New-Delhi which Consulate officials in turn called up the offices of the Indo- US Chamber of Commerce. Americans viewed a breach of copyright and trademarks as an extremely serious issue. A call was made to the Commissioner of Police and the ball was literally set rolling.

My seventh visit to the police station saw a sea change in the manner in which the police perceived my visit with the foreign client. We were offered tea with savories, given seven star treatment and the Senior Police Inspector immediately deputed two constables, one junior inspector and a van to accompany me wherever it is that I desired to go to conduct the raid.

Only one request was made by the Senior Inspector. :��Tell your clients that the retail prices of their products sold are extremely high and a simple Indian middle class family simply cannot afford it. Even I buy my stuff from Crawford market at a fraction of the cost. So please go easy on the raids”. It was more of a humanitarian appeal by the Senior Inspector and we felt as if were doing something morally wrong.

With an investigation report in my hand giving pin point accurate details of the factory where the counterfeit products were being manufactured, the client [foreigner], two constables and one junior inspector and myself decided to raid a factory in Bhiwandi.

The raid was a complete success. Counterfeit toys, bags, bed sheets, drapes, backpacks, duffel bags were seized and the factory was SEALED. The owner of the factory, the manager were arrested.

The foreigner being pleased with the outstanding progress that we had made with the very first raid flew back (First Class) to New York, USA to report to his bosses about the success of the raid [which was reported in the Times of India] second page. A sample of each of the counterfeit product was taken back home to the US by the client’s representative.

THE FIRM got a hefty fee in US Dollars for the prompt legal assistance so provided. It does not end there.

The story now begins. A couple of months had passed when the same US client landed on THE FIRM’S doorstep. A meeting was fixed by the FIRM at “The Chambers” Venue - the Taj Hotel in Colaba. Two senior US officials and the Company’s legal counsel had flown in from New York. This time the request was completely different.

THE FIRM was to engage the best criminal lawyers available in India and ensure that all criminal charges against the owner and the manager of the factory that we had raided were QUASHED. The offenses were to be compounded if possible and if a charge sheet had been filed by the local police, THE FIRM was to make sure that a complete quashing of all charges would happen, even if it meant a trip to the Supreme Court in New Delhi. No expense was to be spared for ensuring that all criminal charges so framed against the factory owner were dropped. THE FIRM was directed that the US Company wanted a pre-raid position and THE FIRM was to ensure as if the raid never took place and any proof of the raid was to be erased from all mediums and formats, as far as practically possible.

THE FIRM being an extremely professional firm, never asked any questions like WHY, WHAT HAPPENED, HOW CAN THIS BE DONE NOW? Provided the fee was highly remunerative, the FIRM did what was asked of them. THE FIRM’S simple policy was - “Collect the fee first and never ever ask any questions later”

I was once again entrusted the job of accompanying a senior criminal lawyer to the local court [and though the manager and the owner had managed to secure bail in the interim], we promptly appeared on the next date - to the utter surprise and shock of both the manager and the owner of the factory we had earlier raided. We filed an application for compounding the offence stating that our clients - the famous US Company were no longer interested in pursuing the charges of IPR Violation. The Magistrate was more than happy to oblige as IPR protection to this date in India, is never considered an offence, let alone being a severe one. India happily violates all IPR laws and gets away with it to this day.

A meeting was finally fixed between the client, and the factory owner where the factory owner was offered a hefty remuneration to become the sole selling agent, manufacturer and distributor of the Fortune 500 Company.

When I asked the foreign client as to why this was being done, he replied that after he had returned to New York and shown his bosses the seized samples, his bosses were of the opinion that the counterfeited products were of far more superior quality than the originals that were being manufactured by the US Company in their factory at Shenzhen in China and to be brutally honest they were in complete awe of the Indian Manufacturer who had managed to produce such superior quality goods with the Company's mouse and duck logos at such a low selling price. THE MAKE IN INDIA movement had already started and i had proudly played a part in it, albeit a tiny one at that.

To this date, the factory owner thanks me for organizing the raid. He has six factories now and is the sole selling agent, manufacturer, distributor and now an EXPORTER of the Fortune 500 Company’s duck and mouse products in India, Europe and Asia. The Senior Inspector who authorized the raid had stocked up the seized alleged counterfeit samples for an entire lifetime and I am told that the counterfeited products are distributed by him as gifts during festive occasions to close friends and family. I managed to cull out two double bed sheets with my favorite duck and mouse characters as my reward, which I fondly use to this day and remember THE RAID with fond memories.

THE FIRM was entrusted the job of drafting agreements between the US client and the factory owner and THE FIRM continues to do so to date [as per information from reliable sources]. All’s well that ends well.

The latest news now is that the factory owner has started counterfeiting products of other companies featuring insects and mammals such as spiders and bats and is praying that a raid is organized soon. “Greed will kill us all”
