This Girl Accidentally Bought a Counterfeit Urban Decay Palette on Groupon

By Gillian Fuller, March 28, 2017, Allure

Counterfeit beauty is a major industry — almost as expansive as the beauty industry itself. Unfortunately, it’s not as well-known an issue as, say, counterfeit fashion is, despite being, arguably, far more dangerous, since you’re actually ingesting a bit of lipstick and applying products directly to your skin. You never know what’s inside fake makeup. According to a report from the U.K.’s Police Intellectual Property Crime Unit (PIPCU) back in 2015, everything from arsenic to mercury was found in counterfeit foundations, lip glosses, and mascaras.

Awareness will stop fake goods trade

By National Editorial, March 26, 2017, The National

The trade in fake or counterfeit handbags is one of the necessary evils of the industry. For one thing, clamping down on the trade of fake goods is extraordinarily difficult. Given the branding of these goods as reflecting one’s aspirations in life, many companies tolerate low levels of trade in fake goods as it helps elevate the exclusivity of their brands. On a state level, however, the trade of fake goods undermines a country’s commitment to the enforcement of intellectual property rights and the rule of law. READ MORE>>>

NSK: The damaging effects of counterfeit rolling bearings

By Helena Measham, March 21, 2017, www.pandct.com

Counterfeit rolling bearings are a growing industry issue. To the untrained eye, replica products are increasingly difficult to distinguish from genuine OEM bearings, which means that ever-more users are suffering from the consequences of using counterfeits.

The project was undertaken in close co-operation with a well-known Chinese university, which already had experience of the process. TU Dortmund’s Chinese partners built the pilot plant for the project but, when it arrived in Germany, a number of unexpected problems soon became evident.-Image1.jpeg – Scrutinise the quality of individual bearing components to distinguish between original and counterfeit bearings.
