Amazon has its own Counterfeit Crimes Unit (CCU) which is a global team dedicated to partnering with law enforcement, brands, and other stakeholders to disrupt counterfeiters and their networks.

In April, Amazon filed a joint lawsuit with Crye Precision (Crye Precision: 2:24-cv-00394, United States District Court Western District of Washington) against companies attempting to sell counterfeit products in the Amazon store.

“Amazon is a distinguished ally in our ongoing global battle against counterfeiters. While most companies turn a blind eye to bad actors, Amazon’s pledge to eradicate counterfeit products is a leading example of how to support brands and protect intellectual property,” said Jonathan Antone, general counsel and chief of staff for Crye Precision. “With Amazon’s CCU leading the efforts, we can prioritize our focus on designing and manufacturing life-saving apparel and gear for military and law enforcement personnel.”
