Legal framework There is no single piece of legislation that governs whether and to what extent a counterfeit good violates Canadian law and, if so, what recourse may be available to the rights holder. The legal framework for anti-counterfeit enforcement may comprise any one or more of the following four statutes: the Trademarks Act (RSC 1985, c T-13); the Copyright Act (RSC 1985, c C-42); the Canada Consumer Product Safety Act (S.C.2010, c.21); and/or the Criminal Code (RSC 1985, c C-46).
