All the legal documents you draft and the presentations you make in front of the judge are dependent solely on it.

Parallel importation is a legitimate act of acquiring genuine goods from the rights holder and selling them through unauthorised trade channels in the same or different market at lower prices.

A conflict therefore arises when parallel importation results in a misrepresentation of the source, reputation or quality of the trademarked goods.
