700 sites taken down in ALP anti-counterfeiting suit
ALP prides itself in its anti-counterfeiting skills and capabilities, and
our ability to protect our clients' trademarks from the damage caused by
counterfeit merchandise.
Nowhere are our
capabilities stronger than on the internet, which has become a haven for
fraudulently represented counterfeit goods. ALP regularly gets hundreds
of websites selling counterfeit merchandise suspended from domestic
website servers, but the international nature of the internet demands an
international response, and ALP is ready to protect its clients'
interests worldwide.
Recently, ALP attorneys
forced the suspension of approximately 700 counterfeit sites on servers
in four foreign countries. After much investigation and follow-up, all
four foreign servers agreed to “voluntarily” suspend the sites. ALP now
also has open lines of communication with these high tier ISPs that will
facilitate efforts in getting new sites that move to these servers down
as well as any future resellers we might encounter. While some sites
will reappear on new servers, losing their "safe haven" will be a major
disruption for counterfeiters moving forward.
Roger Greer -- in Memoriam
Anderson Legal Practice is sad to announce the passing of our Senior Founding Partner and long-time friend Roger D. Greer. Roger passed away in February, 2011. As we recognized long ago, Roger was an exemplary practitioner of intellectual property law -- the heart of his legal practice in Chicago for nearly 40 years -- and an exemplary human being.
Roger received both his bachelors in Electrical Engineering (1964) and his law degree (1967) from the University of Nebraska. His legal achievements include high-level litigation of patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, unfair competition, contract, legal malpractice, RICO and antitrust matters in state and federal trial and appellate courts, as well as the expert practice of transactional law including licensing and other transactional matters.
