Bulgarian PTO Seizes Puma, Armani, Adidas Counterfeits
During recent inspections in a number of Bulgarian towns — the capital of Sofia, Sandanski, southwestern Bulgaria, Svilengrad, southern Bulgaria, and various Black Sea resorts — the Bulgarian Patent Office (BPO) officials discovered and seized more than 1,500 counterfeit items bearing the marks of Lacoste, Puma, Armani, D&G, Ralph Lauren, Hugo Boss, Bulgari, Adidas, Jean Paul Gaultier, Louis Vuitton and Chanel.
The counterfeit goods were seized during the month of August and mainly consisted of sportswear, footwear, handbags, perfumes, mobile phones and accessories.
The BPO officials actively assist the Bulgarian police and customs officials in carrying out these types of inspections.
