Customs Can Be a Valuable Ally Against Counterfeiting by Peter A. Quinter Introduction 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.

About Us Objectives Officers Dates Ahead ... May/June 2005 Counterfeit Products Present Additional Business Risks for Distributors and Contractors The introduction of counterfeit electrical products into the marketplace places the distributor or contractor in a risky legal position. 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

The seized imposter designer items including handbags, luggage, watches, jewelry, sunglasses and scarves estimated to be valued at $76,000. “Trademark fraud poses a serious threat to the American economy and ICE is committed to attacking it head-on,” said Mike Unzueta, special agent-in-charge for ICE in San Diego. “Trafficking in counterfeit merchandise is a serious criminal offense and we will work proactively with law enforcement and private industry to dismantle these criminal schemes.” Over the course of the seven-month investigation, ICE agents and private investigators hired by the trademark holders met undercover with Mehta, a naturalized U.S. citizen from India.

Boubacar Fall, 40, and Ousman Busso, 44, were arrested this morning without incident by ICE agents at their N. Kenmore residence. The investigation began in December after an ICE agent attended a trade show at Chicago’s Navy Pier and observed the company Mammadoe Gal allegedly selling a large quantity of suspected counterfeit handbags. Further investigation by ICE agents revealed that the company was also allegedly selling counterfeit designer goods at the Swap-O-Rama flea market in Alsip, Ill.

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.
