Since January 2010, 32 shipments containing counterfeit HDMI products such as cables and adapters, DVD players and electronic projectors have been seized or destroyed at U.S. ports including Alaska, California, Florida, Indiana, Michigan, Texas, Washington State and Virginia.

“We are committed to protecting over 1,000 HDMI adopters and the many consumers who use HDMI products by enforcing the HDMI trademark against counterfeiters,” says HDMI Licensing president Steve Venuti.

“It is our goal to have only legitimate and authentic HDMI products on the market and CBP enforcement is one of many strategies we utilise as a part of our larger global strike against counterfeiters.”
