Counterfeit goods are unauthorized replicas of branded products that infringe on intellectual property rights, including trademarks and copyrights. They are illegal because they violate these protected rights and can deceive consumers.
Such goods can also pose health and safety risks, damage brand reputation, and result in financial losses for legitimate businesses. Missouri law provides remedies to combat the production and sale of counterfeit items.
Proving a product is counterfeit typically involves demonstrating that it bears marks or trademarks identical or confusingly similar to those of a registered brand without authorization.
Evidence may include expert analyses, testimony, purchase records, and comparisons with authentic goods. Our firm assists clients in gathering and presenting this evidence effectively.
Remedies can include injunctions to stop the production and sale of counterfeit items, monetary damages for losses, and destruction of infringing goods. Courts may also impose penalties on counterfeiters under Missouri statutes.
