The fight against counterfeiting: a key challenge for businesses<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Counterfeiting is one of the most direct attacks on a company’s rights. Whether it involves a trademark reproduced identically, a copied design, a copyrighted work exploited without authorisation or an infringed patent, the consequences are always twofold: immediate financial loss and damage to the brand’s image that can prove lasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is counterfeiting under intellectual property law?<\/strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Counterfeiting is defined by the French Intellectual Property Code as any infringement of an intellectual property right without the authorisation of its owner. It can affect various strategic assets of the company:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trademark infringement<\/strong> occurs when a protected sign is reproduced, imitated or used for identical or similar goods or services without the owner’s consent. It can be committed online as well as offline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Copyright infringement<\/strong> consists of reproducing, performing or distributing a protected work without the consent of its author or rightholders. It concerns graphic creations, software, professional photographs, editorial content and fashion designs alike.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Design infringement<\/strong> covers the reproduction or imitation of a protected shape (packaging, a product design, a specific visual) without authorisation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Patent infringement<\/strong> covers the manufacture, offering, placing on the market or use of a patented invention without the patent owner’s consent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
