Extractions: The recordation with Customs of trademarks and tradenames registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office gives the owner protection against the unauthorized importation of merchandise bearing those trademarks or trade names. "Counterfeit" merchandise is generally defined as merchandise that bears containing a false trademark which is identical or substantially indistinguishable from a registered trademark. A "confusingly similar" trademark resembles the genuine trademark so as to be likely to cause the public to associate the copy with the genuine mark. How Do You Get Customs To Enforce Your Company's Intellectual Property Rights? As soon as the application is received and approved by Customs, the information is distributed nationwide to over 20,000 Customs officers located at the 301 ports of entry in the United States. The information, including a computerized three dimensional picture of the IPR, sets forth the terms and conditions of appropriate import of the IPR. After recordation, whenever documentation is presented to Customs at a port of entry regarding the import of the foreign merchandise, a Customs officer or Customs computer has the information needed to identify any suspicious goods, and physically examine them. Upon examination by an Inspector of the Trade Enforcement Team (TET), Customs may detain merchandise it believes may be counterfeit, for up to 30 days and issue the importer a detention notice. If the importer does not prove it is authorized by the IPR holder to import the merchandise, the cargo is seized. A Notice of Seizure is issued stating the reasons for the seizure, and setting forth the procedures to challenge the action. Customs' seizure rights extend to counterfeit merchandise merely transmitting the United States en route to third countries, or remaining under Customs bond in a Customs warehouse or foreign trade zone.

"As we begin the holiday shopping season," Dillon said, "these arrests should put consumers on alert: you don't always get what you think you are paying for." According to Dillon, "This investigation began in September of this year when a detective from the District Attorney's Squad of the Nassau County Police Department was approached about purchasing some quality fake Louis Vuitton merchandise. The detective contacted Louis Vuitton, and was put in touch with Abacus Investigations and Security, an authorized representative of Louis Vuitton and most top designers. Upon learning that Abacus Security had received other complaints about stores in Nassau County selling counterfeit merchandise, we opened an investigation.

Extractions: by Clark R. Silcox and Philmore H. Colburn, II Executive Summary: Manufacturers, distributors, and electrical contractors build enduring relationships by supplying quality, dependable electrical products that they are all prepared to stand behind. The introduction of counterfeit electrical products into the marketplace alters that relationship substantially. It places the distributor or contractor in a risky legal position that could leave the distributor or contractor solely responsible for defects or problems with the product. Furthermore, because a counterfeit product damages the reputation of those who trade in these products, it can dissolve the supply relationship with the genuine manufacturer. If a defective or substandard counterfeit component is inside a product, it is not likely to be visible. For example, hair clippers containing counterfeit fuses with fake brand name and certification marks were recently seized in England. A recent

Because of consistently high temperatures, the track did have some blistering of the concrete. A 24' x 48' section of the track was repoured and some expansion joints were slightly widened around the track, allowing more room for expansion of the concrete if temperatures remain high. Maintenance workers are also watering the track and keeping it as moist/cool as possible to avoid any further issues during the summer months. The driving school at the track, Monster Racing, has returned to their normal schedule. Track officials do not anticipate any problems for the upcoming September 23-25, 2005 race weekend.(Dover Int'l Speedway PR)(8-23-2005)

Shultz, II Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. The violation of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) in the form of counterfeiting is emerging as one of the most troublesome problems for companies as we enter the coming millennium. Indeed, despite efforts by countries to improve mechanisms of international enforcement, losses attributed to IPR theft are increasing exponentially. Consider that the value of counterfeit goods on the world market has grown by 1,100 percent since 1984. The International Anti-Counterfeiting Coalition (IACC) estimates that 5 to 8 percent of all products and services worldwide are counterfeit. American companies lost $61 billion to foreign piracy of intellectual property in 1986. A conservative estimate indicates that those losses had ballooned to $200 billion by 1994. And the losses are not just monetary. In 1993, an estimated 750,000 jobs were lost due to foreign counterfeiting of U.S. products. Watches, toys, and textiles, which carry a high brand image and require a relatively simple production technology, top the list of goods seized by the U.S. Customs Service, which typically impounds more than $30 million worth of counterfeit merchandise each year.
