By
EU and U.S. senior officials said on Friday they would crack down on counterfeiting of computer components after they seized over 360,000 fake items in just two weeks in a joint operation at the end of last year. ntegrated circuits and computer components of over 40 trademarks including Intel, Cisco and Philips, worth more than $1.3 billion, were seized during the operation, the officials said.
“There are increasing numbers with high-tech goods, goods that impact our critical infrastructure,” Baldwin told reporters after talks with European Union counterparts in Brussels. Integrated circuits are used in a wide range of products including computers, aircraft, cars and telecommunications.
