Counterfeits: a global threat needs global answers. The WTO estimates the share of counterfeits at the total global trade volume of 5% to 7%. 80% of the profits of counterfeited exports from China is created outside the country. An estimated 750,000 labor in the global automotive industry alone is lost due to counterfeiting. There are many different methods for corporations to fight against trade mark infringements, but essential is an overall strategy with all involved stakeholders participating, addressing authorities with key messages, alerting the employees and much more.
