Standard Summary
Comprehensive overview in 1-2 paragraphs

This Senate resolution designates July 2025 as “National Anti-Counterfeiting and Consumer Education and Awareness Month.” It emphasizes the importance of trademarks to the economy and consumer safety, and highlights the harms caused by counterfeit goods—from unsafe products and deceptive practices to economic losses and threats to public health. While it references existing trademark laws (notably the Lanham Act and the Trademark Counterfeiting Act) and the role of enforcement, the measure itself is symbolic: it calls for broad education and awareness efforts by federal, state, and private sector partners to reduce the supply and demand for counterfeit goods and to help consumers recognize and avoid fake products. The resolution does not create new requirements or funding. Instead, it signals congressional support for ongoing and enhanced educational campaigns and collaborations to combat counterfeiting and protect consumers and legitimate businesses.
