Feds Make Just-in-Time-for-Christmas Counterfeit Seizures
2011-12-28 05:41:00 Not to lean too heavily on the New York Times, but I enjoyed a just-in-time-for-Christmas article it published last week on counterfeiting. The paper reported the feds recently made 177 seizures in the U.S. and Mexico that netted 327,000 counterfeit items worth $77 million and led to 33 arrests (including three in South Korea). The haul was a bit unusual because it included a large number of low-end goods: Christmas lights, football jerseys, and Angry Birds toys. Many of the fakes pose a health risk. ?Counterfeit batteries are going to explode, a counterfeit electrical cord might catch fire and burn the house down,? the director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement said. ?Toys are always a concern. You never know what?s going into the actual manufacturing in terms of the chemicals. Obviously you don?t know whether they have been tested in terms of, are they safe for toddlers.?

Kung Fu Panda And A New Theory On China Counterfeiting.
2008-06-09 11:51:00 "When you cease to strive to understand then you will know without understanding." - Caine I have yet to see the movie Kung Fu Panda, but the always excellent How The World Works, in a post entitled, "Kung Fu Panda's Inside Joke," has just given me another reason why I should. According to How The World Works, the film references both Chinese art and kung fu: The animators of this very good-looking film have a lot of fun with classical Chinese landscapes and other familiar tropes of traditional Chinese art. But one scene jumps out. Po, the panda with unlikely martial arts aspirations, has made it inside a temple storing a variety of legendary weapons and other hallowed items suffused with kung fu lore. Po, the kind of geek who memorizes every possible piece of minutiae about his chosen obsession, shudders with delight as he rushes from one object to another. Beyond that, it may help explain why counterfeiting is not viewed so unfavorably in China: Finally, he comes to a pai...

Ninth Circuit Finds Counterfeiting Constitutes Crime of Moral Turpitude
2008-04-16 04:48:00 Senegal citizen Elimane Tall got involved in counterfeiting. In 2003, he pled guilty to one count of “counterfeit of a registered mark” in violation of California Penal Code § 350(a)(2), which imposes criminal penalties on any person who “willfully manufactures, intentionally sells, or knowingly possesses for sale any counterfeit of a mark registered with the Secretary of State or registered on the Principal Register of the United States Patent and Trademark Office…” In 2004, Mr. Tall pleaded guilty to nine new counts of “counterfeit of a registered mark” and one count of “counterfeit of a registered mark with a prior,” which landed him in prison. After serving his time, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security sought to have him deported under the Immigration and Nationality Act as an alien convicted of a crime of “moral turpitude.” The immigration judge adopted the government’s position that “fraud ...
China Counterfeiting. Just One Among 1.3 Billion.
2008-03-29 20:52:00 The PN China Blog recently posted on counterfeiting and poor quality products in China. The post is entitled, "A Monumental Blacklist" and it discusses why Chinese companies so frequently and confidently engage in unfair business practices (including counterfeiting) and what needs to be done to stop it. The post starts out answering "why unethical business practices are so rampant and what counterfeiters thrive on" by quoting a Chinese friend who says "it's OK to burn your customers and not expect them to come back, because if you burn every Chinese person [of the 1.3 billion] once, you'll make a fortune already." PN China takes agrees there needs to be more accountability: That's sort of true. But more fundamentally, it's because China doesn't have a credit monitoring system for individuals or record keeping agency for foul businesses. No Better Business Bureaus. Consumers are in the dark. Therefore, even if the bad businesses, mostly very small in scale, get exposed by ...

E&M Internet Bookstore, Microsoft brought suit against a company doing business as emeshop.net, and its alleged owner Chien-Wei Chen, for selling counterfeit Microsoft software on eBay.Plaintiff and defendants reached a preliminary settlement in which defendants agreed to pay plaintiff $35,000. The parties did not finalize the agreement, however, because Mr. Chen stopped communicating with his attorneys. As a consequence, defendants’ counsel moved to withdraw from the case. The court then ordered defendants to appear in person and show cause as to why they should not be deemed to be in default. Defendants failed to appear.Microsoft then moved for summary judgment. Defendants’ attorneys submitted a response stating they had not received any communication from Mr. Chen and that, as a result, they would not submit an opposition on defendants’ behalf. Defendants did not appear at the hearing des...

Ninth Circuit Finds Statutory Damages for Counterfeiting Precludes Award of
2007-12-20 02:57:00 The Ninth Circuit yesterday addressed the question: “whether an award of statutory damages for trademark counterfeiting under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(c) precludes an award of attorney’s fees under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(b).” Reversing the Central District of California in the case of K and N Engineering, Inc. v. Bulat, the Ninth Circuit found that it does.K&N makes aftermarket air filters and related products. In 2004, K&N learned that Sarah Bulat and Steve Wandel were selling unauthorized decals bearing K&N’s registered design mark on eBay. In all, Ms. Bulat and Mr. Wandel sold 89 sets of the decals (with two decals per set) for $267. K&N brought suit and the Central District of California granted it summary judgment on its infringement, counterfeiting, and dilution claims. K&N elected statutory damages under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(c). The Central District awarded it statutory damages in the amount of $20,000 and atto...
Striking Writers Chide Producers with Protest Web Site
2007-12-12 03:20:00 The Los Angeles Times today reported that Hollywood’s striking writers have acquired the amptp.com and amptp.net domain names and launched a Web site that protests the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers, which represents the studios in the parties’ labor dispute. AMPTP’s official site is associated with amptp.org.The story begins with the observation: “When the Hollywood studios say they don’t know enough about the Internet to pay writers what they seek for the streaming and downloading of their shows, they might not be kidding.”The protest site, which looks like the producers’ official site, states the Alliance was “heartbroken” that negotiations with the writers had failed “despite our best efforts, including sending them a muffin basket, making them a mixed CD and standing outside their window with a boombox blasting Peter Gabriel songs.” It also features lin...

Microsoft Awarded $100k for Trademark Infringement in Default Judgment
2007-10-23 04:05:00 On Oct. 16, the Eastern District of California awarded Microsoft Corp. $100,000 in statutory damages for defaulted defendant Matthew Evans’ trademark infringement. Magistrate Judge Sandra Snyder concluded Microsoft’s allegations that Mr. Evans had sold counterfeit software bearing Microsoft’s registered trademarks in February and October 2006 adequately stated a claim for trademark infringement.Microsoft sought $100,000 in statutory damages for each of the three trademarks at issue. The court addressed the issue as follows:“Here, profits, expenses, and lost revenues are matters only of speculation. Plaintiff has not given the Court even the most basic information regarding its loss, such as the price or value of the goods or services subject to the violations. The precise scope of Defendant’s business is not clear. All that the allegations of the complaint indicate is that the Defendant used multiple counterfeit marks in [one] instance in Febr...

Washington Lawyers for the Arts presents a panel discussion on the ins and outs of legal protection in the fashion industry and how best to arm yourself against counterfeits.”The brown-bag seminar will be held from 11:45 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sept. 27 at K2 Sports, 4201 Sixth Avenue South in Seattle.

PTO to Trademark Owners: Register Your Marks Overseas for Protection Overse
2007-08-12 20:23:00 On Friday, I attended some of the “Anti-Counterfei-ting & Piracy 2007” program co-sponsored by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and U.S. Chamber of Commerce. (STL preview of the event here.) The program took place in Bellevue as part of the groups’ national road show on the issue.Washington’s attorney general Rob McKenna added some local flavor. He characterized Washington as the nation’s most trade-dependent state and said a number of local companies have been damaged by counterfeiting. He went on to describe a recent meeting he had with other state attorneys general that emphasized that counterfeiting g-oes beyond pirated music CDs and software. The Seattle Post-Intelligencer quoted him as saying: “When the chamber representative passed around the table counterfeit automobile brake pads and counterfeit medical supplies and talked about the Federal Aviation Administration’s estimate that so...

Microsoft On China Software Counterfeiting: That Feels Good, Can I Have So
2007-08-02 17:29:00 The Conde Nast media empire recently came out with a new business magazine called Portfolio (which I have yet to see in the flesh) along with a snazzy website, still in beta. I like the website as it contains some interesting and helpful general business, business travel, and business "lifestyle" type information. It has a number of blogs and those are mostly well done also. Among the blog pieces was one by Felix Salmon, entitled, "Dodgy Counterfeit Statistics, Software Edition" that makes two very interesting points about China counterfeiting (h/t to IP Dragon). First, the blog talks about how the recent news regarding the joint FBI and Chinese operation nabbing "$500 Million" in Counterfeit Software is misleading/flat out wrong. Salmon gives the reported facts as follows: The F.B.I. said Tuesday that a joint effort with the Chinese authorities had led to the arrest of 25 people and the seizing of more than $500 million worth of counterfeit Microsoft and Symantec softwar...

Microsoft Gets Default Judgment in New Jersey Counterfeiting Case
2007-07-24 03:47:00 On July 13, Microsoft Corp. obtained a default judgment and permanent injunction in the District of New Jersey against Julio Gonzales for distributing infringing Microsoft software through his company, JFG TEK Computers. Microsoft obtained the monetary damages it asked for: $844,742.85 in “statutory” da-mages, attorney’s fees, and costs, though the order does not say whether the damages stem from violations of the Copyright Act, the Lanham Act, or both. Mr. Gonzales is now permanently enjoined from, among other things, “imitating, copying or making any other infringing use or infringing distribution of software programs, components, end user license agreements, certificates of authenticity, or items protected by Microsoft’s registered trademarks and service mark….”Microsoft-217;s complaint reveals its m.o. was the same as in its other default judgment cases (such as those discussed here and here): it suspe...
Microsoft Files 23 Suits Against Alleged Counterfeiters
2007-07-02 04:34:00 On June 29, Vnunet.com reported that Microsoft launched a “legal blitz” consisting of 23 lawsuits in California and Florida against alleged sellers of counterfeit software. That makes 125 such suits in Microsoft’s last fiscal year — which ended June 30 — compared with 56 during its last fiscal year.PC World added that Microsoft filed all of the lawsuits in federal court — all on June 28.That’s not entirely accurate, as the first complaint I found was filed in the Middle District of Florida on June 27: Microsoft Corp. v. Gunther, in which the company alleged that John D. Gunther and his company, Onyx Systems, had engaged in selling counterfeit Microsoft software. The complaint appears to contain Microsoft’s typical counterfeiting allegations, including that Microsoft contacted defendants and followed up by purchasing counterfeit software from them. It states: “Microsoft notified De...
Microsoft Stepping Up Lawsuits Against Counterfeiters (Updated)
2007-06-05 06:33:00 Last week, I wondered whether the spate of default judgments Microsoft Corp. seems to be getting against counterfeiters means it’s increasing its enforcement efforts, or whether I’m simply paying more attention. Upon closer inspection, it looks like Microsoft indeed is getting more aggressive.In a decidedly unscientific study, I compared&nbs-p;Westlaw-reported cases involving trademark law issues in which Microsoft was a plaintiff from January to May 2007 to the same period a year earlier. I then weeded out the decisions that did not result in a final order. That left seven decisions in 2007 and two decisions in 2006. Interestingly, all nine decisions involved allegations of counterfeiting or the unauthorized sale of Microsoft software.Perhaps Microsoft is now seeking easy prey. During the first part of 2007, Microsoft won each of its cases by default: Microsoft Corp. v. Wubena, No. 06-2209, 2007 WL 656...
