Super Bowl news: Customs and Border Protection Assists Super Bowl Security Efforts.
From protecting Americans against terrorist and terrorist weapons from entering our country, to ensuring that football fans are purchasing legitimate merchandise, U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is supporting several security functions at the 2006 NFL Super Bowl XL.
Legitimate merchandise?
Intellectual Property Rights (IPR) enforcement activities are necessary to police counterfeit products. These fake products not only defraud companies that work hard to develop the genuine products, but unsuspecting consumers may be purchasing something substandard or even unsafe. Joint operations will take place with Agents from sister Department of Homeland Security agency, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) to ensure that team-related items being sold are actually legally licensed merchandise.
I, for one, am very happy to pay taxes so the Federal government can protect Super Bowl merchandise licensees.
