Antitampering bill
This article was originally published in The Rose Sheet
Executive Summary
House bill would amend the Trademark Act to prohibit the "unauthorized destruction, modification or alteration of product identification codes" on products including cosmetics and fragrances. HR 2100 has been assigned to the House Courts & Intellectual Property Subcommittee. Introduced June 9 by Rep. Robert Goodlatte (R-Va.), HR 2100 would require statutory damages between $500 and $1 mil. depending on whether the violation threatened the safety of the public. Goodlatte introduced a similar bill, the Trademark Anticounterfeiting Act, last year; the measure failed to pass the House 245-167 (1"The Rose Sheet" Oct. 5, 1998, p. 6). The Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Association and the Consumer Healthcare Products Association support the measure. A companion bill is expected to be introduced in late July
