France is the second country most affected by counterfeiting,<\/strong><\/a> behind the United States.<\/p>\n

Counterfeiting is a massive, widely diversified phenomenon that has continued to develop with the Internet.<\/p>\n

It affects many sectors of the economy<\/b> (medicines, games, toys, sports goods, body care, luxury goods, clothing, etc.). All types of companies are victims of these actions (SMEs, large companies, etc.).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

A anti-counterfeiting campaign launched by UNIFAB<\/a> (an association fighting counterfeiting, promoting and defending authenticity, creation and innovation) to raise public awareness of the consequences of buying counterfeit goods, and warn people of the dangers of consuming fake products.<\/p>\n

With the launch of this campaign,INPI<\/a> (Institut National de la Propri\u00e9t\u00e9 Industrielle) is committed to the fight against the scourge of counterfeiting in France, reminding us of one of the levers for reinforcing the legal security of French industrial property titles, in particular patents<\/a> and trademarks<\/a>. This enables rights holders to defend themselves more effectively against counterfeiters, as well as having access to opposition, forfeiture and invalidity procedures.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Victims who have suffered moral or patrimonial prejudice as a result of the use of their protectable work without their consent, by means of an assignment contract, have the possibility of taking legal action for infringement in order to defend their rights.<\/b><\/p>\n

This civil and\/or criminal procedure has a twofold objective: to preserve the private prerogatives of the holder of an intellectual property right and to repair the damage caused by the infringement<\/b> (offence of counterfeiting).<\/p>\n

It is strongly recommended that you contact an intellectual property attorney or a specialized lawyer in order to best defend your interests.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
