Adams and Reese is pleased to announce that three of its attorneys — Kristina Montanaro Schrader, Maia T. Woodhouse and Christopher Burkett — have authored an article in a newly published global guide to anti-counterfeiting law for World Trademark Review; a publication covering the commercial and international practice of trademark law.
In the piece, "Procedures and Strategies for Anti-Counterfeiting: United States," Montanaro Schrader, Woodhouse and Burkett lay out the legal framework of anti-counterfeiting enforcement in the United States. This includes the Lanham Act; measures undertaken by U.S. Customs and Border Protection; the role of the International Trade Commission; criminal prosecution; civil enforcement; anti-counterfeiting on the internet and U.S. litigation; and preventative measures and strategies to build an effective, multidimensional approach to anti-counterfeiting.
