Trademark counterfeiting refers to when an established trademark is placed on a product or service that is not one of the legitimate goods offered by the trademark owner. The federal Trademark Act, also called the Lanham Act, prohibits such counterfeiting.
In the United States, counterfeiting laws are becoming more and more favorable for those who own trademarks. Case law is growing substantially when it comes to the 1984 amendment to the trademark counterfeiting provisions of the Lanham Act.

What is Trademark vs. Registered?
The trademark symbol (TM) is a mark that companies often use on a logo, name, phrase, word, or design that represents the business. The registered symbol (R) represents a mark that is a registered trademark with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
Some people think you can use the two interchangeably, but this is not the case. The (TM) symbol actually has no legal meaning. You can use the symbol on any mark that your company uses without registering it.
