Product piracy

Product piracy and counterfeiting is a serious threat for every company. Product piracy does not just reduce your revenue, it can also seriously damage your image and reputation. The latter happens when a customer buys your goods in the belief you manufactured the product. In reality, however, it is a counterfeit and does not meet your quality standards by far. It could well be that the customer does not realize he has bought a counterfeit, but, rather believes he bought a real product manufactured by you.

Therefore, it is of utmost importance to take legal action against pirated products and counterfeiters. A promising and effective strategy must be drawn up on how to combat product piracy, especially in sensitive fields, such as in the pharmaceutical industry regarding medicines.
