TRADEMARK AND PRODUCT COUNTERFEITING

Counterfeiting can, for example, also be a consequence of industrial espionage.

So how can counterfeiting be fought?

We can answer that there are different solutions. We mainly must try to prevent some forms of industrial espionage by implementing prevention techniques.

Unfortunately, it often happens that the company turns to us when the fraud has already been committed and counterfeit products are now widespread in the market.

In this case, we intervene to identify those responsible for the production and sale of these products. The phenomenon of counterfeiting is often recklessly tolerated by manufacturers because it is considered an indicator of their success; in fact, over the course of time, the problem can become so large that it can cause considerable economic and image losses in areas where fakes are present in large quantities.

It should also be noted that some counterfeit products, such as drugs and food, can seriously endanger health.

Counterfeiting is a very ancient phenomenon, but today it has taken on characteristics that make it a particularly serious phenomenon. In fact, counterfeiting is pervasive, global and the field of action of organized crime. It concerns all production sectors: from clothing to medicines and cosmetics, from food to design objects, from toys to mechanics. In this sense, it alters the operational rules of the competitive market, damaging companies that operate legally and represents a danger to the safety and health of consumers. Counterfeiting also damages the economic system as a whole because it deprives the community of jobs and the State of tax revenues.
