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

This resolution designates August as "National Anti-Counterfeiting and Consumer Education and Awareness Month" to raise public awareness about the dangers of counterfeit products. It directly affects consumers, businesses, and brands by promoting education on how counterfeit goods - such as unsafe medical products or fake electronics - threaten health, safety, and the economy. The key mechanism is encouraging existing efforts (led by agencies like the FTC and FBI) to educate the public through campaigns that help identify counterfeit items in both physical and online markets. The resolution does not create new laws or funding but affirms support for ongoing awareness initiatives to reduce consumer harm and economic losses from counterfeiting.
