Can They Be Stopped? Parallel Imports and Gray Market Goods Under U.S. Law.

How can trademark owners protect themselves against parallel imports under U.S. law? Parallel imports, or gray market goods, are branded goods that have been purchased legally outside the United States and are imported for sale into the U.S. without the authorization of the trademark owner. Gray market goods result in a significant loss of domestic sales for the trademark owner annually.

This webcast will focus on practical tips and strategies for combating gray market goods. Topics to be covered will include the following:

• How to navigate the rules and regulations of U.S. Customs.
• How to create and implement a trademark security plan and product identification training guide.
• How to handle the call when U.S. Customs holds up a suspicious shipment.
• Remedies available through the International Trade Commission and Federal Courts.

• Julia Huston, Foley Hoag LLP (United States)
