US cracks down on counterfeiting
The illegal importation, distribution and sale of counterfeit products pose a significant and growing threat to the health and safety of the public, US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials warned during a hearing before the Senate’s judiciary committee.
Bruce Foucart, director of the ICE-led National IP Rights Coordination Center, testified to the dangers of fake goods and their impact to consumer safety.
He said: “Law enforcement, public education, demand reduction and global collaboration are all critical to successfully address this crime.”
