3-A SSI China trademark attorneys issue advisory against counterfeits
A new advisory, published in English and Chinese, aims to stop Chinese companies that are falsely advertising themselves as being 3-A SSI authorized from marketing or sending such products to the United States.
3-A Sanitary Standards Inc. (3-A SSI), McLean, Va., announced the publication of a special advisory by King & Wood Mallesons (KWM), the trademark attorneys of 3-A SSI in China, to caution counterfeiters against violating the new General Exclusion Order (GEO) of the U. S. International Trade Commission (USITC) to block the imports of falsely advertised food processing equipment.
The new advisory, published in English and Chinese, aims to stop Chinese companies that are falsely advertising themselves as being 3-A SSI authorized from marketing or sending such products to the United States, 3-A SSI said. The GEO issued by the USITC became effective on Aug.15 and prohibits the unauthorized importation of falsely advertised food processing equipment. Implementation of the GEO means that Chinese companies may no longer falsely assert that they are 3-A SSI licensees if they are not licensees and import their products into the United States.
