CC-Ottawa Pillar of the Community Canada 3690 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 3:06 pm So CBSA officially got into the anti-counterfeit game as of Jan 1. They now have authority and a mandate to stem counterfeiting which was previously the RCMP's bailiwick. I wonder how this will change things. Of course I am assuming the RCM has filed the request for assistance. At least I hope they have. "In January 2015, portions of the Canadian Combating Counterfeit Products Act (â€œCCPAâ€) came into force enabling IP rights holders to record their copyright and registered trademark rights with the Canada Border Services Agency (â€œCBSAâ€) in an effort to stop counterfeit goods before they enter the Canadian market.".... http://www.gowlings.com/KnowledgeCe...iew-Original Report this Post to the Staff

Northerncoins Pillar of the Community Canada 2019 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 5:00 pm Quote: Amendments to the Canadian Trade-marks Act, which stem from the CCPA, create a new statutory prohibition against the import or export of goods whose labels or packaging bear, without the consent of the owner of a registered trademark for such goods, a trademark that is identical to, or that cannot be distinguished in its essential aspects from, that registered trademark (i.e. counterfeit goods). Similar amendments to the Copyright Act create a statutory prohibition against importing or exporting infringing copies of a work. So does that mean coins like the fake superman gold coins? I am Not a Lawyer so not sure if the Fake SM type coins fall under those new guild line. lol Report this Post to the Staff
falcon Valued Member Canada 457 Posts	Posted 02/09/2015 10:52 pm I think as a group most people could care less if what they are buying to look at, use or consume is real or counterfeit. Go in to any bigbox store in Canada and you will find anything you could ever want in a cheaper quality and price, It doesn't matter if your looking at tools or Mac & cheese someone somewhere has faked it .....and WE! Buy it. Coins are no exception. To most people they are they are EXACTLY the same.... Only less expensive. There is no way to stop it.
