Counterfeit Goods Defence Solicitors in Leeds

The laws surrounding counterfeit goods are complex and are in place to protect against the manufacture, sale, and distribution of items.

Counterfeit goods are products that are deliberately and illegally made to look like genuine products. These products are usually of inferior quality and are sold at a lower price than the genuine article.

Counterfeit goods can include a wide range of products, such as luxury goods, clothing, accessories, electronics, and even food and medicine.

Counterfeit goods can pose a threat to consumers if they are made with substandard materials and don’t meet expected safety standards. They may also be missing key safety features, such as proper labelling, instructions, or warnings.

In addition to the threat to consumer safety, counterfeit goods can also harm legitimate businesses by undermining their intellectual property rights and undercutting their profits. This can result in lost sales, damage to brand reputation, and reduced investment in research and development.

The manufacture, sale, and distribution of counterfeit goods are criminal offences. This means that individuals who engage in these activities can be prosecuted and face fines, imprisonment, or both.
