Counterfeiting, or imitating, has become a global problem which has increased significantly over the past few years. Counterfeit products tend to have fake company logos and brands on them.
The production of such goods results in patent and/or trademark infringements which have serious consequences. According to a study carried out by the Counterfeiting Intelligence Bureau (CIB) of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) fake goods make up between 5-7% of World Trade. (Counterfeit Intelligent Bureau, Countering Counterfeiting: A guide to Protecting and Enforcing Intelligent Property Rights; United Kingdom).
Everyone is Affected
All parties of our society are affected by counterfeiting. For businesses, making fake products will damage the reputation of the organization whilst consumers are victims of being sold products which are of poor quality and in some cases harmful.
Producing counterfeited goods results in a severe decline of income and profit for a company which causes job seekers, as well as those who are already employed, to suffer as a result of the decline in job roles available. Counterfeiting causes our society as a fundamental unit to suffer due to unpaid costs from such organizations; when one purchases a counterfeited product, one aids traders who proceed to break the law.
