THE TRUTH ABOUT COUNTERFEITING

Counterfeiters often prey on consumers’ desire for low prices, but consumers should recognize that there is a real difference between a cheap price and bargain. And the cheap prices offered by counterfeiters often come at a very high cost to others.

You should know the truth about counterfeiting.

Six Reasons You Should Never Fake It:

• Counterfeiting is illegal and purchasing counterfeit products supports illegal activity.
• Counterfeiters do not pay taxes meaning less money for your city's schools, hospitals, parks and other social programs.
• Counterfeiters do not pay their employees fair wages or benefits, have poor working conditions, and often use forced child labor.
• Counterfeit goods are often made using cheap, substandard, and dangerous components that put the health and safety of consumers at risk.
• The profits from counterfeiting have been linked to funding organized crime, drug trafficking and terrorist activity.
• When you purchase a fake, you become part of the cycle of counterfeiting and your money directly support these things you would never want to support.

Exploring the supply and demand side of counterfeiting

There are several supply-side factors that make it attractive for
producers to take part in the illegal act of counterfeiting:

• The potential of attaining very high profit margins: counterfeiters benefit from the
R&D and marketing expenses invested by legitimate trademark owners. They are
in fact free riding on the economic value associated with IPR ownership.

• Low wages and almost no existing IPR enforcement in (developing) production
countries (e.g. China, South-Africa).

• Counterfeiters face far lower risks in terms of consequences than other illegal
activities (e.g. fines and prosecution). Inadequate penalties form the basis of this
phenomenon.

• The global availability of low-cost high technological equipment creates the
opportunity for counterfeiters to copy and produce nearly every product category
imaginable.

• The existence of free trade zones en free ports allows counterfeiters to engage in
origin-laundering activities by means of which the true origin of these products
can be obscured so that there exists no link towards the actual producers of
these knock-offs.

• The rise of the Internet is a major contributor toward the high availability rate of
counterfeits. Counterfeiters can easily sell their products via e-mail solicitations
(direct marketing) and it can also serve as a powerful marketing tool in reaching
customers in a more disguised way. Counterfeiters now face unprecedented
distribution opportunities.

Counterfeit consumer goods

Counterfeit consumer goods (knock-offs in colloquial language) are by definition goods infringing the rights of a trademark holder by displaying a trade mark which is either identical to a protected trade mark or by using an identification mark which "cannot be distinguished in its essential aspects from such trade mark ( Wikipedia ) .

According to the OECD, counterfeit products encompass all products made to closely imitate the appearance of the product of another as to mislead consumers. Those can include the unauthorised production and distribution of products that are protected by intellectual property rights, such as copyright, trade marks and trade names. In many cases, different types of those infringements can often overlap: Music piracy mostly infringes copyright as well as trade marks; fake toys infringe design protection. The term "counterfeiting" therefore addresses piracy and related issues, such as copying of packaging, labelling, or any other significant features of the goods

Among the leading industries that have been seriously affected by counterfeiting are software, music recordings, motion pictures, luxury goods and fashion clothes, sportswear, perfumes, toys, aircraft components, spare parts and car accessories, and pharmaceuticals. ( Wikipedia )
