I see it all the time. Aluminum extrusions, which are heavily regulated from China, will be routed from China through a Vietnamese company, and shipped to the U.S.

Here are a couple of cost effective tools we use to track imports.. importyeti.com and importgenius.com. both offer a broad look at imports, but you need to know what you're looking for. Importer, key product terms, consignee address if you suspect an importer etc. It's a starting point for us.

(5) So what to do about it? Make it easier to report and track importers of goods from Chinese companies. Work with Canada and Mexico to cooperate and hopefully plug that gaping hole of counterfeit flow. Although the US is full of holes too, so it's a big problem no matter how you slice it.

(4) SO, we look for the big infringers and track them, and if we find little one off importers, we warn them and send them the authentic product so they can see the difference in quality and make a case for buying the real deal, made in the US.

(3) China Came in and started making the exact duplicate of our connection platforms and it's been a challenge ever since. We are patented US, Canada, EU etc. They are everywhere with counterfeits. If we spend too much time and money on them we can lose focus on growing the business.

(2) Court is a huge budget item, that frankly makes it difficult to pursue when you are not in mainstream retail channels. We re-invented a long-time standard product for the event space with Versatop Pipe & Drape 2.0(r) in 2010. Everything made in the USA. After disrupting the industry..

(1) Honestly, this is a big and complicated problem. It truly is a game of "whack-a-mole." We track imports but they are constantly changing names and carriers. We have to weigh the costs vs the benefit every time. Getting infringers de-listed from alibaba and amazon is possible. Court though?

As a company that has had to prosecute and defend its IP recently, I say all of the above and more. Also, let's add damages to the available recourse. Right now there are no punitive damages available to a prevailing party no matter how egregious the infringer. versatop vs georgia expo.
