Tradename Piracy

It came to our notice in early January 2008 that another Manchester-based company, MCR Connections Limited, had begun trading under the name of Papillon Graphics, a trading name which we had been using since 1994 and by which we are widely known throughout the region and by the internet community worldwide. They were clearly passing off themselves as our company in order to gain some commercial advantage, and several people were 'cold called' by telephone and sold domain names at hugely inflated prices. Their salesman clearly represented his company as Papillon Graphics, a misleading and unfair business practice which confuses the market and the public. It is the commercial equivalent of identity theft, to be discouraged and rooted out wherever possible..
"Passing off" is against English Civil Law, and Fraud is a criminal offence. Should you feel in any way cheated as a result of such an approach, we suggest you immediately inform your local Trading Standards office.
The title 'Papillon Graphics' and the butterfly logo are our distinguishing brand identifiers and should not be used by others passing off their companies as ourselves. Please note that we are not in any way connected to any other company, that we heartily disapprove of such unethical practices and state unequivocally here that we do not, nor ever have, sold or traded in domain names, nor do we ever canvas or 'cold call' for business.
The maxim is, as ever, "caveat emptor" - let the buyer beware.
