BILL NUMBER:S4373 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the penal law, in relation to the seizure and forfeiture of vehicles, vessels and aircraft used in counterfeit goods PURPOSE: To provide for the seizure and forfeiture of the property used in trafficking in counterfeit goods. SUMMARY OF PROVISIONS: This legislation would provide for the seizure and forfeiture of the property of trademark counterfeiters and t.hose who traffic in counterfeit goods. JUSTIFICATION: Trademark counterfeiting is a serious problem which is reportedly getting worse. The counterfeit goods trade comprises the sale of so-called knock-offs of brand-name products as well as pirated intellectual property, including "bootleg" DVDs. It has been estimated that this illicit trade takes billions of dollars out of the state's economy, with an annual fiscal impact of over $2.6 billion in lost revenue. This legislation would provide for the seizure and forfeiture of the property used in trafficking in counterfeit goods.
