Title Action Taken In response to this growing problem and to the failure of our prior efforts to fight it, a committee made up of members of the Federal Enforcement Section was set up to find one or more proactive ways to eliminate the problem once and for all. The Problem The sale of counterfeit goods, an activity very often geared towards a young, uninformed clientele, has become a worldwide problem. Multinational companies specializing in the manufacture and sale of clothing or other products are not only suffering astronomical losses, but are also seeing their reputation tarnished. The sale of counterfeit items has flourished in the NCR, where conditions are very favourable to this activity. The trend towards brand-name clothing by manufacturers such as Nike, Fila, and Adidas is becoming more and more apparent, especially among young people. The Objectives After a few meetings, the members of the committee set concrete, measurable objectives. First objective : To invite representatives of the main companies being defrauded and the owners of the three local flea markets (Stittsville, Masson, and St-Laurent) to sit down with us so that we could make them aware of this growing problem and involve them in finding the most appropriate and acceptable solutions for everyone concerned. This was the most crucial step, because we had to interest and involve all the stakeholders in our project so that the problem was not merely ours, but theirs as well.

Those who are responsible for protection of Olympic-related intellectual property rights (IPR) announced on Wednesday that they have made a dent on the counterfeit merchandise industry during the Winter Olympic Games here.
Since the opening of the Winter Games on February 8, as many as 58 seizures of counterfeit Olympic merchandise have been made with the value exceeding several hundreds of thousands of dollars.
Most of the merchandise seized are Olympic-themed pins which are mainly imported and manufactured from Asian countries, said Don Daufenbach, U.S. Customs Senior Special agent.
"Tens of thousands of counterfeit pins alone have been seized," said Daufenbach. "We are making a significant dent in that counterfeit trafficking."
The major force in the IPR protection is the Operation Winter Rings (OWR), a multi discipline task force comprised of 20 U.S Custom's agents, a Customs Import Specialist, Laboratory Scientists and three FBI agents.

NFL, police on the lookout for counterfeit Rams merchandise ST. LOUIS (AP) A year ago, stores couldn't give away Rams merchandise. Now, a replica blue and goal Kurt Warner No. 13 or Marshall Faulk No. 28 jersey is harder to find than home run king Mark McGwire's No. 25. Problem is, licensed merchandisers aren't the only ones taking advantage of the hysteria that came with an NFC-best 13-3 record. And as the Rams prepare to host Minnesota in this city's first-ever NFL playoff game on Sunday, the NFL and local police will be on the lookout for counterfeit merchandise. NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Wednesday that four teams of NFL investigators will arrive in St. Louis Saturday to seek out those peddling counterfeit goods. One man, Ramanuel Kimble, 44, of Arlington, Texas, was indicted last month for selling fake Rams merchandise near the Trans World Dome. He faces felony charges. A trial date has not been set. Police and league officials believe others are doing it, too.

Authorities watching out for fake merchandise at NCAA women's tournament
(c) 1997 Associated Press CINCINNATI (Mar 26, 1997 - 18:55 EST) The merchandise police will be out looking for sale of any counterfeit sports items during the women's college basketball championship tournament this week. The demand for school merchandise at the National Collegiate Athletic Association's Division I women's tournament creates a potentially lucrative marketplace for counterfeiters, the Collegiate Licensing Co. said Wednesday. Its representatives arrived in Cincinnati on Wednesday to prepare for the tournament. Tennessee, Stanford, Notre Dame and Old Dominion begin play in the Final Four on Friday in Riverfront Coliseum. The Atlanta-based company serves as the NCAA's exclusive domestic licensing representative for merchandise. It works with local police to monitor sales during events, including NCAA tournaments, football bowl games and regular-season football games. Since CAPS was formed in 1992, it has worked with law enforcement to seize more than $70 million in counterfeit goods and equipment, and help arrest hundreds of violators.

Deck the Halls with Bogus Presents; Head of Famed Investigative Firm Warns Against Counterfeit Merchandise "Stores are offering name brand merchandise at incredible savings" declares Michael Kessler, President & CEO. Kessler indicated that even street vendors are hawking designer watches, fragrances, handbags, clothing, toys, software and collectibles." "We are not free from the madness when turning on our home computer," he said, "since we are met with a bombardment of e-mail sale circulars and cyber store fronts." What Kessler ended up with in many cases was a lot less than they paid for. "Counterfeit merchandise is found in epidemic proportions out there. Today’s shopper must be very cautious before attempting to purchase name brand merchandise, especially when the prices seem below the norm," warned Kessler. They followed up their investigation with a nationwide survey to see how well informed shoppers are and if they were taking the necessary precautions to protect themselves from purchasing bogus merchandise. Their findings were surprising. Few shoppers knew what they needed to do to safeguard their hard-earned money and ensure that they were not being tricked by over zealous merchants.

Too Good To Be True NEW YORK, Dec. 28, 1998: The old adage buyer beware has never been more accurate than it is today. Just a click of your mouse and you can get the most incredible deals on designer watches, handbags, fragrances, scarves, liquors and sinfully delicious chocolates. There is only one drawback. They are all fakes! Research into the problems of counterfeit merchandise on the Internet has brought us site after site after site where the innocent and naive online shopper is bombarded with claims of great prices on name brand items. The prices may be great, but the name brands are not. These distributors of counterfeit merchandise are attempting to circumvent the legal system by calling these items "replicas," often in small print within the advertisements. These items are being traded on newsgroups as well as Internet sites. Many unsuspecting shoppers have no idea that the items they are receiving are not authentic merchandise. Recent reports have noted incidents of counterfeit items being found in just about every product line. The newest craze for pint-sized beanie filled stuffed animals, (i.e. Beanie Babies) has opened the door to counterfeit sales of these items online. The craze has caused large prices being paid for what is termed "retired" beanie babies. These are netting anywhere between $500-$2000 in the marketplace. The Better Business Bureau in many major cities have been contacted by consumers who have purchased these retired babies online and later found when they brought them to an authorized dealer, that they were poor imitations.

NFL gets OK to seize bogus Super Bowl items
By Michael Kinsman
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER January 23, 2003 The National Football League marched out of court yesterday with an order giving it the power to seize counterfeit Super Bowl merchandise that may be offered for sale in San Diego County during the NFL's premier event. Superior Court Judge Charles Wickersham signed the order giving the NFL the authority to immediately confiscate any bogus goods it may find, whether they are sold at retail establishments or on street corners by individuals. The order is effective from noon today through midnight Monday. NFL merchandising is a highly lucrative business. An estimated $2.9 billion in NFL-licensed merchandise is sold each year, with sales of Super Bowl merchandise expected to be about $100 million this year, Guibault said. Merchandise includes such items as $17 Super Bowl T-shirts, $24 hats, $65 replica jerseys and $325 leather jackets. Guibault said the NFL seized 2,000 counterfeit Super Bowl hats and 600 T-shirts Tuesday in the Los Angeles garment district. She said counterfeit merchandise has been seen at a National City liquor store, although the NFL has yet to seize that.

Secretary Miles Enforces Trademark Violations at Local Flea
Market Secretary of State Jim Miles and Berkeley County Sheriff Wayne DeWitt announced four arrests and the confiscation of counterfeit merchandise, estimated to be worth more than $83,000, from vendors at a local flea market Saturday afternoon.
The counterfeit merchandise included clothing and accessories bearing the trademarked logos of Oakley, Rayban, Guess, Adidas, Calvin Klein, Fubu, Nautica, Tommy Hilfiger, Polo, and Iceburg brands.
“I would like to thank Sheriff Dewitt and the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department for the outstanding job they did in the raid at the Coastal Carolina Flea Market,” said Secretary Miles. “We’re sending a message to counterfeiters that the sell of illegal merchandise will not be tolerated in South Carolina.”
Secretary Miles commended the officers of the Berkeley County Sheriff’s Department on their professionalism.
“These arrests and seizures would not be possible without the cooperation and extra effort of Sheriff DeWitt’s team,” said Secretary Miles.

http://www.scsos.com/PR/trademarkbust.htm
SECRETARY MILES BUSTS TRADEMARK COUNTERFEITERS IN LARGEST RAID YET NEARLY $400,00 WORTH OF COUNTERFEIT MERCHANDISE SEIZED, NARCOTICS DISCOVERED "Thursday’s raid was our largest ever," said Secretary Miles. "We are sending a message to vendors of counterfeit goods that their activities will not be tolerated. The sale of this fake merchandise hurts not only legitimate manufacturers and retailers in our state, but the consumer as well, because they’re not getting the quality associated with a trademarked brand." According to Lt. David Knipes of the Myrtle Beach Police Department, five individuals were arrested and charged with "the intentional use of counterfeit mark or trafficking in goods and services using such mark," which is a violation of South Carolina’s trademark laws, enforced by the Secretary of State. One arrest is still pending, and is expected later this week. The five individuals arrested include Suresh Nandwani of The Goldmine at 915 N. Ocean Boulevard, Itzhak Edri of The Dead Head Shop at 918 N. Ocean Boulevard, Shmuel Lavan and Erez Sukarchi of Beach Bums at 1002 N. Ocean Boulevard, and Alon Danon of Boulevard Village at 1101 N. Ocean Boulevard. Sukarchi was also charged with unlawful possession of Schedule II drugs. "We would like to commend Lieutenant John Kennedy and his investigators at the MBPD for their assistance and enthusiasm," said Miles, calling them "one of the best groups we’ve ever worked with." Miles added that information provided by an individual arrested several months ago for trademark fraud led his agents to the Ocean Boulevard stores. He also commented that the bust prevented $396,000 worth of counterfeit merchandise from ‘hitting the streets’ that could have been purchased unknowingly by both South Carolina consumers and tourists from outside the state. He warns consumers to "buy from reputable retailers…if you’re getting a brand-name product for a fraction of its usual cost, and it seems too good to be true – it usually is."
