A resolution recognizing the importance of trademarks in the economy and the role of trademarks in protecting consumer safety, by designating the month of July as "National Anti-Counterfeiting and Consumer Education and Awareness Month".

Key Points

• The Senate officially named July 2025 as a special month to teach people about the dangers of fake products. These items, called counterfeits, are often made to look like real brands but can be poorly made or even dangerous.
• Fake goods are a huge problem for the economy. They cost American businesses more than $200 billion a year and have led to the loss of 750,000 jobs. They also cause the government to lose billions in tax money.
• Safety is a major concern because fake items like electronics or medicine do not follow safety rules. In 2024, officials seized 60 million fake pills that were laced with fentanyl, which is a very deadly drug.
• This resolution encourages the government and private companies to work together on education. They want to give shoppers the tools they need to avoid buying fake items on the internet or in physical stores.
