Canon and Unified Brands profit from deterring online counterfeiters
In court filings targeting online counterfeiters, Unified Brands ("the Anti-Counterfeiter") is working with Canon to stop the sales of counterfeit camera batteries and other accessories via online marketplaces like Amazon and eBay. Canon, a leading provider of consumer, business-to-business, and industrial digital imaging solutions worldwide, recognizes that sales of counterfeit goods are a huge and growing problem for businesses. As stores have migrated from physical locations to e-commerce sites—a move only accelerated by the pandemic—online sales of counterfeit goods has become a multi-trillion dollar problem for American businesses.
