Knowingly Selling Counterfeit Products
In recent years, trademark holders have spent significant money to protect their brands and products. When trademarked designer goods are counterfeited and sold at a low cost, the value of the copyrighted product is diluted.
At the New York City law office of Jonathan Marks, P.C., we defend individuals and organizations charged with the sale of counterfeit goods. We provide aggressive advocacy to clients facing serious criminal charges. Contact us at 646-257-4268 or 866-407-4034.
Understanding Your Criminal Charges
The sale of counterfeit goods often involves:
- Copyright infringement
- Reproduction of copyrighted goods
- Sale of fake products, including purses, clothing, perfume, software, music, and other copyrighted goods
The penalties for selling or producing counterfeit goods can be severe, and are dependent on the value of the original product. In certain cases, the individual or organization convicted of this crime may be required to pay treble damages — damages that equal three times the actual damages. This is in addition to a prison sentence that will likely ensue.
If you are an individual or an organization facing charges of selling counterfeit goods, take immediate legal action. Attorney Jonathan Marks aggressively defends clients, thoroughly investigating their charges to build a focused and effective defense. He is a former Assistant United States Attorney, with knowledge of both the defense and prosecution sides of a criminal case.
In order to help you seek the best possible outcome, you will need to tell us your story honestly and frankly. If you sold counterfeit goods and did not know that they were fake, we will craft your defense accordingly. We will consider any other aspects of your case that can help illustrate your story to the court.
