NEW YORK, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Tiffany & Co. (TIF.N: Quote, Profile, Research) said on Monday it obtained an injunction from a federal court against Starglam Inc., which the high-end jewelry retailer said had been selling fake Tiffany-branded items.

Tiffany said that according to the judgment issued by a federal court in New York, Starglam Inc., and its principal, John Shamir, should not engage in any further counterfeiting of Tiffany-branded items or infringing on its trademark.

Starglam and Shamir were also required to pay Tiffany $956,793.15, the company said.

Starglam had been distributing counterfeit Tiffany items in Asia and New York and also on Internet sites like eBay Inc. (EBAY.O: Quote, Profile, Research), Tiffany said.

The New York-based jeweler has already filed a lawsuit against the e-commerce site for selling fake Tiffany jewelry.

woohoo!

In NYC, you see more fake everything here than the real thing, and Tiffany leads the pack! Most ppl who buy the fake stuff don't have a CLUE how much the real stuff costs. Some of Tiffany's pieces aren't all that expensive, so I honestly wonder what the draw is in laying out money on a fake.

Wohooo!!! Good for them.
