Oops!
They're in violation of the copyright & trademark laws -- but that's a civil violation.
And, as it now stands, it would be up to the owners of the marks to detect and prosecute the malfeasants.
Methinks copyright & trademark law is about to be criminalized. Which isn't an especially good idea -- if you've ever dealt with corporate legal counsel -- but it seems unavoidable.
Not really. To the extent that they are going off public roads, whether to private or government property, neither the vehicles nor the packages delivered by their drivers have to be allowed on the property. Any such location that thinks it might be a target can contact the companies in advance to set up verification procedures, so that it can be handled with a phone call when a truck shows us. Obviously, with things like FedEx and UPS trucks, it's often the same driver showing up every day, so verification wouldn't need to be done every day.
I think you've just hit on the agenda behind the news release.
Maybe the lawyers in the trademark enforcement divisions of Fed Ex, WalMart and UPS will do a better job of stopping the drug trade and illegal smuggling than the Border Patrol since they directly lose something by allowing it to continue happening. (And yes, I’ve gone up against some of the biggest and scariest trademark lawyers and its no joking around with them.)
IIRC, Copyright law is MUCH harsher than Patent or Trademark.
