Legislative Proposal, Bill or Resolution

C-8 - An Act to amend the Copyright Act and the Trade-marks Act and to make consequential amendments to other Acts - Short Title “Combating Counterfeit Products Act”. Modify the mens rea element in Section 51.01 of the Trade Marks Act. Add provisions to the Trade Marks Act giving courts the power to award significant statutory (or “pre-established”) damages against counterfeiters in recognition of situations where it is difficult for the trade-mark owners to prove their measurable monetary loss or damage. Change section 51.03(2)(d) of the Trade Marks Act from explicitly prohibiting Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) to intercept and seize counterfeit goods in transit to allowing CBSA officials to stop these goods in transit through Canada to other destinations.
