Bill aims to curtail trade in counterfeit goods

The federal government has introduced a Bill to make it more difficult to export, import and sell counterfeit goods, and to expand on what may be registered as a trademark and simplify the registration process. The proposed Combating Counterfeit Products Act (Bill C-56) would amend the Copyright Act, the Trade-marks Act, the Criminal Code of Canada and other Acts.

But increasingly, fraudsters have no connection to the organizations they target. They may be after credit card numbers, personal information, cash or goods, and they’re using methods beyond the understanding of the average businessperson. Organizations that do a significant amount of business online must be particularly careful.
