Los Angeles-based denim clothing maker True Religion Apparel Inc. said that the company has won two court default judgments against several individuals and businesses charged with importing and selling counterfeit True Religion Brand Jeans.

The default judgment orders from both cases total approximately $1 million, after legal expenses. In one of case, True Religion worked with Ben Sherman Ltd. to pursue a claim against individuals and businesses charged with selling counterfeit clothing for both brands. The five hundred thousand dollar judgment in that case was awarded jointly to both plaintiffs.

“As the visibility of the True Religion brand continues to grow both in the U.S. and abroad, we are working aggressively to protect our intellectual property and ensure that only authorized department stores and specialty store customers receive our authentic, high-quality, custom-fit goods,” True Religion Chief Executive Jeffrey Lubell, a former Ben Sherman executive, said in a statement.
