Lenovo’s verification of product authenticity in Peru. Estudio Olaechea assisted Lenovo with certain inspection requests made by the public entity Perú Compras concerning contracts held by companies selling Lenovo products. The purpose of these inspections was for Lenovo to determine the authenticity of the products.
Rejecting inspection request over cost and responsibility issues: The public entity requested Lenovo to conduct inspections and issue a statement regarding the accuracy of the documentation submitted by certain contractors, in its capacity as the brand representative. However, the request was considered unreasonable and unjustified, as the entity failed to clarify who would cover the costs for the necessary personnel. Additionally, Lenovo was not responsible for evaluating documentation submitted by third parties.
Clarifying cost responsibility in contractual disputes: Our firm prepared various responses for the entity, stating that the request for a statement was unfounded and that it was necessary to clarify the entity’s responsibility for covering the costs associated with these contracts.
Pioneering smarter technology for digital future: Lenovo is a global technology company employing 77,000 people worldwide. Building on its success as the world’s leading computer manufacturer, Lenovo is expanding its research into growth areas to drive forward the “new IT” (client, edge, cloud, network, and intelligence).
Latest development: After receiving our response, the public entity did not request further inspections.
