INTA in the News / News Release This article was originally published in the March 06, 2003 edition of Dallas Observer FAKED OUT By Michelle Martinez Looking for counterfeit goods, sheriff's deputies go bargain hunting. Digging through piles of nondescript hats, T-shirts and sweatshirts at T-N-T Sports Wear, I soon struck shopper's gold. It came in the form of a baby-blue knit cap bearing that famous Ralph Lauren insignia, the tiny polo player so beloved by Yuppies. Only $2.50a steal of a deal. At least it would have been, except for one nagging problem. The tiny pony stitched into the cap was either an unusually well-endowed stallion or a mutant. Which leads us to our first tip for shopping the discount stores that cluster near Harry Hines Boulevard: Horses have four legs, not five. Here's another: caveat emptor. Just weeks after Dallas County sheriff's deputies raided the first of two neighborhood shops on January 22 on suspicion of dealing in counterfeit merchandise, the Dallas Observer visited several stores in the Northwest Dallas bargain-hunter's Mecca to see how large a dent the officers had made in the sale of ersatz goods. Deputies had confiscated $500,000 worth of allegedly counterfeit designer purses and apparel at Purse Mart and Royal Sports Wear, but was that enough to slow the trade in counterfeit and near-counterfeit goods elsewhere? Not a chance.

"We believe these businesses are exploiting the immense popularity of Mark McGwire by peddling caps, bats, balls and other baseball merchandise purportedly signed by him, but which actually were not," Nixon said. "Not only did these actions defraud the fans and businesses that purchased the items, they also try to take advantage of Mr. McGwire, who does not sell his autograph or items with his autograph."

The tagged merchandise from eight consumer product manufacturers arrived at midnight from Wal-Mart's Sanger, Texas, regional distribution center. A total of 21 products were delivered in tagged cases and pallets out of the more than 100,000 products carried in a typical Wal-Mart "supercenter." While the number may seem small, the debut ushered in a new era in product tracking for the world's largest retailer, which operates 160 distribution centers and more than 3,000 stores. Last June, Wal-Mart told its 100 largest suppliers that it expected a certain percentage of cases and pallets affixed with RFID tags to arrive at Dallas-area stores starting in January 2005. Since then, 37 additional suppliers have joined the initiative.

FOR IMMEDIATE USE Jan. 29, 1999 UT To Check Vol Merchandise Saturday (230) University of Tennessee and Collegiate Licensing Co. representatives will be checking for counterfeit merchandise at Saturday's National Championship celebration. Sara Phillips, UT's director of licensing, said unlicensed merchandise is subject to seizure and those selling it will be prosecuted. In addition to checking for unlicensed products bearing UT symbols and trademarks, CLC and UT personnel will look for merchandise that might violate NCAA and national championship requirements. Use of a student athlete's name or photo could jeopardize the player's eligibility and use of "national champions" requires a special license, Phillips said. "Protecting the integrity and marks of the University of Tennessee is our primary concern. We want to deter the sale of counterfeit merchandise and provide an atmosphere where only licensed merchandise is sold," she said. UT's licensing revenues are used primarly for scholarships and other student activities, Phillips said. She said fans purchasing Tennessee merchandise should: * Look for a red and blue logo tag that says "Officially Licensed Collegiate Products" and check for a manufacturer's name on the product.

92. 12/07/95 Committee On The Judiciary John S. Bliss Statement Re Hearing On Hr2511 All federal officers would be able to assist in making ex parte seizure of counterfeitmerchandise, which would enable officers to get proof of counterfeit http://www.house.gov/judiciary/477.htm

SUMMARY OF TESTIMONY JOHN S. BLISS PRESIDENT, INTERNATIONAL ANTICOUNTERFEITING COALITION The International AntiCounterfeiting Coalition ("IACC") strongly endorses H.R. 2511, the Anticounterfeiting Consumer Protection Act of 1995, and we urge the Subcommittee to act on this important legislation as quickly as possible. The IACC is a non- profit trade association comprised of more than 160 members that works to improve the protection of intellectual property rights and the safety of consumers from the threats posed by counterfeit products. When most Americans think of counterfeit activity, they picture a one or two person operation that sells fake sunglasses and watches on city street corners. In reality, counterfeiting is an international, multi-billion dollar crime dominated by organized crime syndicates. Legitimate businesses lose almost $200 billion in revenue each year. Their reputations are damaged by counterfeiting, and their employees lose jobs due to the decline in sales of legitimate goods. Counterfeit activity is growing at a rapid pace, because under current law, the penalties for counterfeiting are inadequate and rarely enforced. Because of the high profits and low risk involved, it has not taken long for organized crime to become significantly involved in counterfeiting operations. Organizations often use the easy money from counterfeiting to finance other high profile criminal activities.

Robert Laberge/Allsport By Mike Fish, CNNSI.com CONCORD, N.C. As the early morning clouds break, Joe Hedrick and Chris Williams huddle in a motor coach, surrounded by colorful trailers selling souvenirs from popular NASCAR drivers in a lot across from Lowe's Motor Speedway. Almost four months have passed since racing icon Dale Earnhardt was killed at Daytona, and the two business friends are busy fending off bootleggers, folks quick to make a buck pushing unauthorized Earnhardt stuff. Hedrick is director of licensing for Dale Earnhardt, Inc. (DEI). Williams oversees track sales for Action Performance Companies, which holds trademark and merchandising rights to more than 20 of NASCAR's leading drivers including Earnhardt, Rusty Wallace and Jeff Gordon. Hustling counterfeit T-shirts and reports of trademark infringement aren't new to NASCAR, where drivers have their individual line of goods much like a NFL franchise or college athletic program. But it's been off the charts since Earnhardt's death, with anything bearing his name or the black No. 3 in huge demand and often at inflated prices.

As Langental sifted through the clothes, asking if anything was the real McCoy, he wasn't drawing many votes.
