Commissioner O'Rielly Asks eBay and Amazon to Remove Fraudulent TV Devices
On Friday May 25, 2018, FCC Commissioner Michael O'Rielly sent a letter to eBay CEO Devin Wenig and Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos to warn them about certain manufacturers of video television set-top boxes who fraudulently place the FCC's trusted logo onto devices that have not been approved by the Commission's equipment authorization process. Despite proactive steps by both eBay and Amazon to reduce theft of intellectual property (IP) from their websites, pirated goods, such as these fraudulent set-top boxes, are still sold on both online marketplaces, putting consumers at serious risk and legitimate manufacturers at an economic disadvantage.
Commissioner O'Rielly requests that eBay and Amazon continue to remove devices that fraudulently bear the FCC logo and to provide the FCC with any additional information that will help combat IP theft and consumer fraud.
