Anti-counterfeiting Down Under

1 Comment / Enforcement, Trade marks / war / 28 September 2010 / anti-counterfeiting, customs seizure, Seminar, talk, Trade marks

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.

Lid dip: Marine Guillou. The AFP issued their own Media Release.

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.

Tobacco and trade marks seminar

Leave a Comment / Trade marks / war / 13 May 2010 / Australia, IPRIA, Seminar, tobacco, Trade marks

IPRIA is hosting a seminar on the Commonwealth Government’s announced intention to ban the use of artwork and logos on cigarette packaging.

Speakers:

Prof. Mark Davison
Prof. John Freebairn, a professor of economics at Melbourne Uni
Ass. Prof. Angela Paladino, who teaches in Marketing at Melbourne Uni (and is a recipient of over $2M in competitive funding)
Tim Wilson, the Director of Intellectual Property and Free Trade unit at the Institute of Public Affairs.

They threaten to “consider the economic, legal, ethical and marketing implications of this decision”. Unfortunately, there is no indication that Kev10 will be there to perform his patented double pike with backflip. However, it does seem that the Senate Committee inquiring into the bill is not due to report until 26 August 2010. (although submissions should well and truly be in by now).

Where:

Wednesday, 26 May 2010 at 6pm (Lecture Theatre GO8, Melbourne Law School)

The seminar is free and there are CPD points going.

Details and registration here.
