(this is really good timing for my last blog post about trademarks and branding! muah ha ha)
The U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement seized "16,171 pieces of counterfeit merchandise, 3 DVD burners, and a 2006 Nissan Titan truck worth a total of $256,171. Additionally, 4,572 pieces of counterfeit merchandise worth $59,000 were abandoned during the operation and turned over to on-site trademark representatives."
Counterfeit trademarks included Ray Ban, Polo, and NIKE! This was at a Flee Market in New Orleans. I'm assuming that more flee markets around the nation will start to be investigated because fakes cost businesses like Nike "billions of dollars"

I Googled "fake nike" and these funny pictures popped up.
