New Image Group Founder Graeme Clegg Detained in Vietnam Over Legal Dispute

Highlights:

• New Image Group founder Graeme Clegg has been detained in Vietnam due to an ongoing legal dispute over intellectual property rights.
• Clegg was stopped by immigration officials while attempting to travel to South Korea for a company event.
• The dispute involves claims of stolen intellectual property, with Clegg accusing a Vietnamese company of unlawfully using his colostrum business's proprietary information.

Intellectual Property Battle Leads to Travel Restrictions

New Image Group founder Graeme Clegg has been detained by Vietnamese immigration authorities due to an ongoing legal dispute. The matter stems from a civil court order related to a long-running conflict involving alleged intellectual property theft from Clegg’s colostrum business.

Clegg Blocked from Leaving Vietnam

Clegg was reportedly prevented from departing Vietnam while attempting to travel to South Korea for a company event. The entrepreneur has previously accused a Vietnamese company of unlawfully using New Zealand’s reputation to market products based on what he claims is stolen intellectual property.

Legal Complications Intensify

The dispute has persisted for years, with Clegg actively challenging the alleged misuse of proprietary information. While details on the court order remain limited, the case highlights the complexities of international business disputes, particularly concerning intellectual property rights in foreign markets.

What’s Next for Graeme Clegg?

Clegg’s next steps will depend on Vietnamese legal proceedings and whether the matter can be resolved diplomatically. Given the international nature of the dispute, legal experts and New Zealand trade authorities may be monitoring the situation closely.

At the time of writing, New Image Group has not issued a formal statement on the matter. The case underscores the risks associated with global intellectual property enforcement and the legal challenges faced by businesses operating across borders.
