US Senate designates July as anti-counterfeiting awareness month

The US Senate has passed a resolution designating July as an anti-counterfeiting consumer awareness month. S.Res. 542 recognizes the 70th anniversary and the importance of the signing of the “Act of July 5, 1946” (commonly referred to as the “Trademark Act of 1946” or the “Lanham Act”) by President Harry S. Truman.

The intent is to promote the importance and need for comprehensive federal, state and private sector-supported education and awareness efforts designed to equip consumers with information and tools to safeguard against and reduce the supply of and demand for illegal counterfeit products.
