The first case involved charges against Paramjit Kaur Kanwal,
sole director of Middlesex based UK Computer Distributors and his
secretary Jasbir Singh Uppal. The court found that the pair had
sold pirate copies of Microsoft Windows 98, Microsoft Windows NT
Server and Microsoft Office 97 Professional Edition.
Both men plead guilty at Harrow Crown Court to four charges
under the Trade Marks Act and one charge under the Copyrights
Designs and Patents Act.
In the second case, Christopher Bottley of Tonbridge in Kent
plead guilty to two charges under the Trades Descriptions Act.
Pirated copies of Windows 98 were discovered in a raid of Bottley’s
premises taking place as a courier delivered pirated copies of NT
Server to his doorstep in front of Kent Trading Standards
officers.
