Brand Protection

Brand Protection is crucial to the success of Widnes Vikings. Our trademarks are registered throughout the World and their use on unapproved products and services without permission is considered counterfeiting. The manufacture and/or sale of counterfeit goods can warrant legal action. We aim to reduce the circulation of counterfeit goods, thus protecting our fans and the Club.

WHAT IS COUNTERFEITING?

Counterfeiting is the deliberate attempt to deceive consumers by copying and marketing goods bearing well known trademarks. These products are rarely safety tested and are usually of inferior quality. Thus they may be easily become faulty or even cause injury.

WHAT DO WE DO?

We are dedicated to helping fight the crime of counterfeiting. With our legal team, Trading Standards, Customs and law enforcement officers, we aim to ensure that illegal goods never make it to their planned destination and, if required, counterfeiters are arrested and prosecuted.

HOW CAN YOU HELP US?

We rely heavily upon our fans to help us put an end to any illegal activity. Should you have any information relating to Widnes Vikings counterfeit goods, please do not hesitate to contact us. All information provided will be treated in the strictest confidence.
