There is no doubt that Customs play an essential role in fighting counterfeits around the world and help brands protect their Intellectual Property by protecting and stopping the inflow of dubious products inside any particular region. Moreover, since the products manufactured worldwide travel through various transit points, it becomes the responsibility of customs authorities to identify the counterfeits before they enter and deteriorate the genuine goods market.
Thus, Customs act as a shield that guards and protects the reputation of brands by acting as the first line of defence against the counterfeiters and related attributes of counterfeiting.
In consideration of this, we are pleased to announce a significant collaboration between our company, ATB Intellectual Property, and Egyptian Customs in the fight against counterfeit goods and their distribution in the market. Through this cooperation, several large containers were successfully seized, containing a substantial quantity of counterfeit auto parts bearing well-known trademarks. These counterfeit items included bearings, universal joints, air filters, steering wheels, shoe kits, bearing assembly clutches, pistons, spark plugs, oil filters, and brake pads
These Counterfeit products pose a serious problem for intellectual property protection, as well as for consumer safety. These products often do not meet the safety standards that originally must satisfy, which can result in them being dangerous to use. ATB Intellectual Property regularly collaborates with Egyptian Customs to ensure that such products do not enter the market.
This successful operation by ATB Intellectual Property and Egyptian Customs marks another important step in the fight against the illegal trade of counterfeit goods. The ongoing cooperation between the two organizations, along with continuous monitoring of suspicious transactions, plays a crucial role in the ongoing battle against this type of crime.
Our company, @ATB Intellectual Property is committed to protecting consumers and trademark owners from counterfeits by taking prompt and effective action whenever necessary.
