Fighting Counterfeits: Protecting Brands, Health, and Reputation

In today’s digital economy, product counterfeiting is far more than unfair competition. It poses a direct threat to public health, consumer trust, and brand reputation. In this article, we share a recent case that illustrates how IP Right takes effective action against this serious crime.

Success Story: Over 46,000 Counterfeit Products Removed from the Market

We recently identified, seized, and destroyed more than 46,000 counterfeit products, primarily cosmetics. Additionally, we secured full reimbursement of legal fees and a significant financial settlement for our client. This outcome proves that strategic and decisive action delivers outstanding results.

Counterfeit Cosmetics: A Hidden Danger

Fake cosmetic products may contain unauthorized or harmful substances, including heavy metals, bacteria, or expired preservatives. It can lead to:

  • Severe skin irritation
  • Infections and chemical burns
  • Serious allergic reactions

This makes counterfeiting not only a commercial concern, but also a public health issue.

How Counterfeiting Damages Brand Reputation

When counterfeit products harm consumers, the blame often falls on the legitimate brand. Most consumers cannot distinguish betweenreal and fake, leading to:

  • Loss of consumer trust
  • Brand image damage
  • Potential reputation crises

Why Act Now?

Counterfeiting is a business, legal, health, and reputation risk. Companies that proactively defend their intellectual property:

  • Safeguard their revenue and assets
