Anti-Counterfeiting and Anti-Piracy Department participates in the Trade Dress operation in the Federal District.

December 3rd is National Anti-Piracy and Biopiracy Day, established by Law No. 11.203, of December 1, 2005.

This date serves as an important opportunity to raise awareness about the negative impacts of counterfeit goods, which range from economic losses and serious health and safety risks to consumers, to significant harm to the environment.

In recognition of this day, we highlight one of our recent anti-piracy actions, conducted in partnership with agents from the Division for the Repression of Intellectual Property Crimes (DRCPIM) of the Federal District, the Special Operations Division, and the Federal District Health Surveillance. Together, we participated in a large-scale seizure operation in the Ceilândia region of the Federal District, Brazil’s capital.

The “Trade Dress” operation took place in a warehouse and two stores, resulting in the seizure of 40,000 counterfeit products, including perfumes and cosmetics being sold as originals.

Our Anti-Counterfeiting Department works closely with the responsible authorities to strengthen control measures against counterfeit goods, supporting safer markets, fair competition, and the protection of brand owners and consumers.
