In China, with the development of China's socialist market economy, a large number of fake and shoddy goods have also appeared, which has become a very prominent problem hindering economic and social development. Fake and shoddy goods are repeatedly banned, which is very harmful to the country and society. In order to promote social progress, we must protect intellectual property rights and crack down on counterfeiting. The whole process of cracking down and punishing such illegal acts is collectively called "counterfeiting". There is no accurate definition in the world, and the definitions given by Britain, France and Germany are also inconsistent. In the documents related to trade intellectual property protection, the World Trade Organization focuses on trademark, copyright and patent infringement. In fact, the scope of fraud is much wider.
Some people in the world have given a more acceptable definition of counterfeiting: counterfeiting refers to imitating the appearance of a product very realistically, making consumers and users mistakenly think that the product is their product, and copying and selling the product protected by intellectual property rights without authorization or permission. The object of copying is usually the trademark, packaging, label or other important features of goods.
