See now I get where you're coming from.
I agree that formal prosecutions would be like finding hen's teeth, but court isn't the only enforcement option in the toolkit. Those options go unreported, but can still be very effective. Although I suspect you would be hard pressed to find a court who understood the S.95 offence, even if a TSO decided to bring one.
Additionally, some rights holders will not support a case where the numbers are small (perceived as damaging the brand if they admit that there are counterfeits - go figure). If the rights holder isn't interested, no point wasting money on an investigation which would fail as soon as a good IP lawyer found that point out! ^^
Which is all good news for you! The way things are going, you should have another 10-15 years before TS see any type of funding increase.0
