Counterfeit Goods
Trademark counterfeiting is when a third party sells goods under another party’s trademark. Trademark counterfeiting is a pervasive and detrimental practice that undermines the integrity of brands and possesses significant risk to consumers and businesses alike. Counterfeit goods are often of inferior quality and may pose health and safety hazards when compared to branded products.
Beyond economic losses to legitimate businesses, counterfeiting erodes consumer trust and confidence in the marketplace. It’s a global issue that transcends borders. Combating counterfeiting requires coordinated effort with law enforcement agency, but starts with obtaining a registered trademark.
A registered trademark is the basis for starting the process of removing counterfeit goods from the market. If you have more questions, I suggest consulting with an experienced trademark attorney.
