There is a high need for anti-counterfeiting services in India. This is because of brand imitation, where the counterfeiter tries to copy the name, look, feel, and image of another brand which is very much in the public consciousness because of its popularity and services.
Here are some ways in which a counterfeiter goes about this:
Product piracy: Here, counterfeiters try to put the same brand name as well as the logo of a famous brand on their products or apparel. Knock-off copies of famous brands are available in India. The counterfeiter tries to cash in on the hard-earned reputation of an established brand.
Trade dressing: The fashion and the style of a competitor’s product are shamelessly copied, and the design is also not spared, barring a few modifications done by the counterfeiter.
Tech Leapfrogging: An established company takes quite some time to become well known, and many strategies are used to read the consumer market. If a rival brand waits it out and steps in after the leading company establishes itself. In that case the unfair advantage of having a pool of research and tech advances that are copied, and it is basically “standing on the shoulders of giants.”
Cloning: This method is that of having an original product and a stolen brand name of a biggie. If there are no patents in place or the absence of trademarks and copyrights, it makes it easier for clones to sell at lower prices.
Creative adaptation: This uses the original content and builds upon it, or they adapt it for use in another sphere of work.
