Counterfeit goods can ruin start-ups before they have a chance to get going. Problems you may have include:
- Unexpected legal costs
- Loss of sales
- Damage to your reputation
Unfortunately the global trade in counterfeit and pirated goods is steadily increasing. This is partly because selling goods online and through social media is easy and attractive to counterfeiters.
Industries particularly affected by online counterfeiting include luxury, fashion, cosmetics, technology and pharmaceutical. It’s essential to simplify the identification of infringements and concentrate on enforcement efforts.
