Since most counterfeit goods are produced abroad, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) has established a process under which intellectual property rights holders\/owners can ask the Agency to temporarily detain suspected counterfeit and\/or pirated goods encountered at the border while the rights holders\/owners seek legal redress.<\/p>\n

Canadian trademark or geographical indication rights holder\/owner registered with the Canadian Intellectual Property Office (CIPO) can file a Request for Assistance (RFA) application with the CBSA. RFAs will help the CBSA to effectively identify and detain commercial shipments suspected of containing counterfeit trademark goods.<\/p>\n

If suspect counterfeit and\/or pirated goods are discovered during a commercial examination, the CBSA can use the information contained in the RFA application to contact the appropriate rights holders\/owners and inform them of the details they need to allow them to pursue a civil court action.<\/p>\n
