differences from the authentic seal which do not escape the
experienced eyes of its agents; the counterfeiter is sure to see a
good correctional judgement soon putting a stop to his
dishonest activity.
xxxx Another more astute process consists in imitating as close
as possible the appearance of the Pernod and Sons bottle, the
seals of glass and wax which characterize it and especially the
label whose colors and design are reproduced most faithfully. It
is a question of creating in this way, between the two bottles, a
resemblance such that the inattentive or illiterate purchaser
voluntarily accepts the imitation for the true product. This
game is dangerous and many an industrialist who has
ingeniously come up with a label similar enough to that of the
House of Pernod and Sons to create confusion, and dissimilar
enough to dodge a fraudulent imitation lawsuit, - has seen his
calculations thwarted. With good reason the Court has trouble
believing, when some labels mistakenly resemble those of a
reputable firm, that this similarity is the result of pure chance,
they are always inclined to see rather the proof of illicit intent.
xxxx It is said, if the counterfeit is actually theft, the fraudulent
imitation constitutes a true breach of trust, a swindle, and the
Courts will never fail to severely repress this way of
appropriating the good of others, of attacking the honor, the
reputation of another, while often endangering the health of
the too trustful consumer. The House of Pernod and Sons has
no complaint about the results
