Compagnie Financiere Richemont SA, which sells Cartier watches and other luxury brands, won a U.K. court ruling that orders Internet providers to block websites selling counterfeit goods, in what a judge said was one of the first cases of its kind in Europe.
Judge Richard Arnold said British Sky Broadcasting Group Plc, BT Group Plc and other providers should “block, or at least impede, access” to six sites including www.cartierloveonline.com, which offers what it describes as cheap replicas, according to the 266-page ruling.
