For several months Merit Entertainment has worked with prosecutors on the investigation of Nisan Naveh, a 62-year-old New Jersey man.
The culmination of this investigation came in May as police arrested Naveh for alleged trademark infringement and the alleged selling of counterfeit gaming consoles and computer software from his home.
The investigators determined that Naveh was selling counterfeit Megatouch Force software, one of Merit’s long-running software platforms.
\“Merit will continue to protect its intellectual property rights worldwide,\” stated Bob Fay, Merit\‘s director of government relations.
“The enforcement of Merit\‘s intellectual property is another sign of our firm stance of support for our authorised distributor network,” said Bob Mills, Merit’s vice president of sales, North America.
“We are vigilant in this effort, and our customers and the entire industry benefit from the money we spend protecting the consumer from foreign, fraudulent, incomplete and unsupported software and game machines.”
