"With this ruling, along with other judgments against various other defendants, LG has successfully slammed shut a sizable portion of counterfeits and knockoffs" sold in the US, it said in a statement.

In 2016 (PDF), LG claimed that shoppers were being "duped" by knockoff headsets and also said it was going after liquidators for selling damaged units as new. Litigation measures against the latter will be increased too, it says. What's more, "those who choose to make and peddle counterfeits, knockoffs and look-alikes can expect aggressive legal action."

Fugazi hucksters? LG has your number.
