Product imitation is said to be the sincerest form of flattery, but when it deceives customers it becomes an illegal business practice.
Protecting Trademarks
Federal and state laws provide broad protection for a company's trademarks. Product piracy
Product piracy means the imitating, copying or counterfeiting of products. Trade mark right, patent right, copyright and other commercial rights are systematically breached. World-wide, there is an im-mense increase of these delicts during the last years. In some countries, whole branches of industry only produce cheep copies of branded goods. The so called product piracy can be only roughly out-lined. Experts agree that "product piracy" infringes trade mark rights in a commercial and criminal way. Such actions are committed in a purposeful, copious and profit-making manner.
According to the law from March 7th 1990 product piracy is prosecuted with terms of imprisonment up to three years. Therefore product piracy is not a peccadillo.
