GUC invites more companies to cooperate in fight against brand-name piracy

The Central Customs Office (GUC) is consulting with several companies in the fight against brand-name piracy. GUC declined to name the companies it is talking with. However, it is known that such giants as Adidas, Puma, Microsoft and Nike have already been consulted. As of January this year, customs officers have on twenty-two occasions pounced on smuggled counterfeit products. The products discovered included thousands of Walt-Disney children's shoes, Fila sports-footwear, Reemstmy cigarettes and Adidas apparel. (Prawo i Gospodarka, page 8) S.M.
