counterfeit mark appears on a video display when the information is
retrieved from the article. The term "spurious mark" includes genuine
marks used on or in connection with spurious articles and includes
identical articles containing identical marks, where the goods or

designed, marketed, or otherwise intended to be used on or in
connection with any articles described under subdivision (a), the
number of "articles" shall be equivalent to the number of completed
articles that could have been made from those components.
   (4) "Knowingly possess" means that the person possessing an
article knew or had reason to believe that it was spurious, or that
it was used on or in connection with spurious articles, or that it
was reproduced without authorization of, or in excess of any
authorization granted by, the registrant.
   (5) Notwithstanding Section 7, "person" includes, but is not
limited to, a business entity.
   (6) "Registrant" means any person to whom the registration of a
mark is issued and that person's legal representatives, successors,
or assigns.
   (7) "Sale" includes resale.
   (8) "Value" has the following meanings:
   (A) When counterfeit items of computer software are manufactured
or possessed for sale, the "value" of those items shall be equivalent
to the retail price or fair market price of the true items that are
counterfeited.
   (B) When counterfeited but unassembled components of computer
software packages or any other articles described under subdivision
(a) are recovered, including, but not limited to, counterfeited
digital disks, instruction manuals, licensing envelopes, labels,
patches, fabric, stickers, wrappers, badges, emblems, medallions,
charms, boxes, containers, cans, cases, hangtags, documentation, or
packaging, or any other components of any type or nature that are
designed, marketed, or otherwise intended to be used on or in
connection with any articles described under subdivision (a), the
"value" of those components shall be equivalent to the retail price
or fair market value of the number of completed computer software
packages or other completed articles described under subdivision (a)

Secretary of State or on the Principle Register of the United States
Patent and Trademark Office.
   (g) An owner, officer, employee, or agent who provides, rents,
leases, licenses, or sells real property upon which a violation of
subdivision (a) occurs shall not be subject to a criminal penalty
pursuant to this section, unless he or she sells, or possesses for
sale, articles bearing a counterfeit mark in violation of this
section. This subdivision shall not be construed to abrogate or limit
any civil rights or remedies for a trademark violation.
   (h) This section shall not be enforced against any party who
engages in fair uses of a mark, as specified in Section 14247 of the
Business and Professions Code.
   (i) When a person is convicted of an offense under this section,
the court shall order the person to pay restitution to the trademark
owner and any other victim of the offense pursuant to Section 1202.4.
