The Feds (aka the Australian Federal Police in co-operation with Customs) executed 21 search warrants on 14 September and apparently

Thousands of counterfeit goods were seized, including counterfeit computer software, CDs, DVDs and luxury items such as bags and jewellery.

In typically timely fashion, Stephen Stern will be giving a Tech IP Seminar:

Australian Customs And Border Protection Service – How To Access This Service To Protect Trade Marks And Stop Replica Products At The Border

in Melbourne on 12 October.

Steve has probably forgotten more about this subject than I’ve learned so, if you act for a brand owner who could be exposed, you should get yourself along to find out more.
