Bill overview
The Shop Safe Act of 2020 aims to protect consumers by holding online marketplaces accountable for counterfeit goods sold on their platforms. It establishes that electronic commerce platforms can be held contributorily liable for trademark infringement if a third-party seller uses a counterfeit mark, unless the platform takes specific steps to prevent this. These steps include verifying seller identities, requiring agreements against using counterfeit marks, implementing screening technologies, and promptly removing infringing listings. The bill also addresses the definition of relevant terms like ‘electronic commerce platform’ and ‘goods that implicate health and safety.’
