Melville, NY (April 23, 2024)<\/em> \u2014 Canon U.S.A. Inc. (Canon), a leader in digital imaging solutions and U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced today a new partnership to help prevent counterfeit products from entering the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery day across America, the men and women of CBP use cutting edge technology to address threats to the Homeland while simultaneously acquiring and deploying new capabilities like this Canon donation to meet new threats,\u201d said Acting Executive Assistant Commissioner Diane J. Sabatino. \u201cThis partnership will greatly improve our trade enforcement operations in counterfeit and pirated goods which threatens America\u2019s innovation economy, the competitiveness of our businesses, the livelihoods of U.S. workers, and, in some cases, national security and the health and safety of consumers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The trade-in counterfeit and pirated goods threatens America\u2019s innovation economy, the competitiveness of businesses, and, in some cases, national security and the health and safety of consumers. To deter the importation of illicit goods and protect U.S. consumers and businesses, CBP has developed a proactive, aggressive, and dynamic enforcement approach to Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) enforcement. CBP\u2019s enforcement efforts are strengthened by stakeholder collaboration and innovative approaches such as the CBP and Canon partnership. Canon intends to partner with CBP for the long term by resupplying and if necessary, upgrading donated testing devices as CBP\u2019s detection needs evolve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCanon is committed to protecting its customers in the United States, as well as globally, from the health and safety risks that counterfeits may pose to their person and property. CBP is at the front line of our U.S. anti-counterfeiting strategy every day,\u201d said Seymour Liebman, Canon U.S.A. Inc.\u2019s executive vice president, chief administrative officer and general counsel. \u201cThis donation complements our long-term goal to provide CBP with the necessary tools, training and support to combat illicit trade. This newest donation with Canon will facilitate the identification and removal of counterfeit goods from the U.S. stream of commerce. Canon believes that we can send a strong deterring message to those individuals and companies who seek to unlawfully profit from Canon\u2019s outstanding reputation by infringing its intellectual property rights and covertly put U.S. citizens at risk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Donations Acceptance Program<\/a> enables CBP to accept tools and technology to enforce intellectual property rights which have been registered with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the U.S. Copyright Office and subsequently recorded with CBP. Right holders may learn more about CBP\u2019s e-recordation program and record their registered trademarks and copyrights at https:\/\/iprr.cbp.gov. Public-private partnerships are a key component of CBP\u2019s Resource Optimization Strategy and allow CBP to provide new or expanded services and infrastructure at domestic ports of entry. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
