Recently, the damage to domestic companies has become severe due to the increase in trademark infringement and the distribution of counterfeit goods.
Wegofair, an AI-based counterfeit goods monitoring platform, will hold a Counterfeit Goods Response Strategies and Reporting Practical Seminar on August 1st.
The seminar will cover recent trends in counterfeit goods and Alibaba reporting procedures, and will provide 20 companies with legal advice and free consultations related to counterfeit goods.
The Korea Intellectual Property Office (KIPO) reportedly provided 11,392 pieces of information suspected of trademark infringement to companies during the past two and a half years (2022-2024.6). This is the result of an investigation into trademark infringement and the distribution of counterfeit K-brand products online overseas across 1604 platforms in 114 countries.
On July 12th, 102 counterfeit goods of famous brands were seized by the Saebit Market Counterfeit Goods Investigation Committee at the Dongdaemun Saebit Market.
Counterfeit goods form a market like a shadow of famous brand products and trendy items, and are distributed as so-called '짝퉁' (jjakttung) or '짭' (jjap). This is not just a headache for famous brands. SMEs also face incessant disputes over similar trademarks, similar industrial designs, and design copies, both domestically and internationally, related to their trademark and design products.
Investigating counterfeit goods that are prevalent in the exploding number of distribution channels is a necessary process for companies pursuing brand expansion, but realistically, they are struggling to carry out detection and enforcement due to a shortage of specialized personnel.
