Dear Educator,

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the
National Crime Prevention Council (NCPC) have uncovered data
showing that teens — for their own health and safety — need
more education on the importance of buying safe products and
the negative impacts of purchasing counterfeits. Counterfeit goods
cost U.S. businesses hundreds of billions of dollars per year. While
research shows that many teens understand that counterfeits can
start fires and harm their health, few teens care enough to change
their buying behaviors.
The USPTO and NCPC have created the Go For Real campaign to help
educate tweens, teens, and their caregivers and educators about
the importance of buying real and how to recognize fakes in the
marketplace.
NOW AVAILABLE: New teaching tools for in-school use and
remote learning, including the Go For Real “Dupe Detector Kit,” an
interactive, digital e-book, and accompanying online shopping game.
These resources are designed to help raise awareness about the
consequences of buying counterfeit goods, and provide tips on how
to spot fakes and shop smart!
