Countering Counterfeiting

The problem

Industrial and Commercial counterfeiting represents about 7% of world trade. The trafficking that it generates is a serious threat to the integrity of world trade and global development. For several years counterfeiting has been controlled by criminal organisations and even terrorist groups.

The profits from counterfeiting cost Industry, Governments and the Community hundreds of millions of dollars every year. Victims of counterfeiting are businesses, which lose sales revenue, market share and investments. Well developed brand images are also at risk of devaluation.

Consumers are also victims of counterfeiting, who can receive poor quality goods at excessive prices and be exposed to health and safety dangers. For instance, counterfeit parts in aircraft and vehicles or counterfeit pharmaceuticals.

Common security features such as holograms, U-V inks and security threads are easily copied by professional thieves.
