LANSDALE, PA — The Mobile Air Conditioning Society (MACS) Worldwide said it is taking steps to protect its trade show exhibitors and the mobile A/C and engine cooling industry as a whole against counterfeiting and trademark infringement.

MACS will hold its 25th Anniversary Convention and Trade Show February 1-3, 2005 at the Las Vegas Hilton. As part of its new policy, MACS is asking every exhibitor at this year’s show to sign the MACS Trade Show counterfeit product policy statement prior to their participation at the show. MACS has also retained legal counsel specifically to be available to handle any complaints concerning counterfeit product or trademark infringement during the show. Exhibitors who feel they have grounds for a complaint should contact show management.

Exhibitors who are found to be in violation of the MACS Trade Show policies may be asked to leave the show and will forfeit all exhibition and conference fees.

Questions about MACS Trade Show policy on trademark infringement, counterfeit product or any other show related issue should be directed to Wendy Moyer, MACS Events Manager at 215/631-7020 x 306, or e-mail [email protected] .
