Microsoft has terminated the Associate Distributorship of M/s KK Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd., owned by Kamlesh Kumar Jha. This termination follows Microsoft’s criminal complaint filed before the CBI alleging hi-end counterfeiting of software, illegal download, duplication of product keys and violation of Microsoft’s Intellectual Property Rights by M/s KK Software Solutions Pvt. Ltd. (KK Software) and its associate companies.
The other associated companies that were mentioned in the complaint to be part of this nexus with M/s KK Software were M/s Konya K Solutions Pvt. Ltd., M/s S J Infocom, and M/s Sahil Data Solutions. As part of the raid action and arrest, K. K. Jha spent close-to 60 days in jail, after having been denied bail multiple number of times by the court. The CBI still continues to investigate the case.
Microsoft has a focussed approach on Education, Engineering and Enforcement to counter piracy and counterfeiting. The endeavour is to work with customers, businesses and partners to drive awareness for piracy and counterfeiting as an issue and to educate them on how they can work towards minimizing this menace. Microsoft is committed to protecting the honest reseller and partner community from unscrupulous elements gaining an unfair advantage in the market and takes the strictest action against anyone indulging in such activities.
