Printable text version Mail this to a friend April 23, 2004 Alleged counterfeit goods seized by state By Cy Ryan cy@lasvegassun.com SUN CAPITAL BUREAU CARSON CITY The state attorney general's office said Thursday it seized records and goods from four Hot Cats clothing stores three of them in Las Vegas suspected of selling counterfeit merchandise with name brands. Deputy Attorney General Tracey Brierly said authorities found heat presses where counterfeit names were printed on such things as T-shirts, tank tops and sweatshirts. "Selling counterfeit merchandise undermines a fundamental tenet of the marketplace: owners of intellectual and trademark property have the right to expect that sanctions will be taken if their property is stolen by imitators," Brierly said. The merchandise bore brand names such as Spitfire, Von Dutch, Jack Daniels, Playboy, Hustler, Fox Racing, and Roxy/Quicksilver. Kenneth "Kip" Johnson, co-owner of the stores, refused to comment and referred inquiries to his lawyer Scott Freeman, who could not be reached for comment. The three Southern Nevada stores are at the Galleria mall in Henderson and at the Fashion Show and Meadows malls in Las Vegas. The remaining store targeted by the seizure is in Reno.
