Knockoff News 2

A weekly (or thereabouts) collection of news about counterfeits, fakes, knockoffs, replicas, imitations, and copying in general from around the globe:

  • Canada nabs an Ebay knockoff seller (17,935 feedbacks!)
  • More on China's Olympic-size crackdown
  • Forget nukes:  Knockoffs make North Korea global threat
  • Counterfeit Confessions (a.k.a. fiction)
  • "Not guilty" pleas in Hyannis (Cape Cod cops chronicle counterfeit cache)
  • Urbana claims "not guilty" either
  • Anti-counterfeit consultants say IP theft on rise (report)
  • Ford's "knockoffs" depress Detroit analysts

And the award for worst legal advice goes to:

  • Status faux:  fake purse parties move to Midwest

Even if you tell your customers that the goods are fake, you're still in violation of trademark law.  Sorry.
