Counterfeiting Law in France:
Similar to other developed countries, France has a unique system of safeguarding intellectual and industry property rights. This system is not only applicable to creative or artistic rights but is also used to govern patents, trademarks, designs, and drawings ("France Intellectual Property Law," n.d.). Generally, the country's intellectual property law covers three major areas i.e. intellectual rights within the country, intellectual property rights outside the country, and intellectual property rights within the European Union by European patents. One of the most important aspects of intellectual property law in France is anti-counterfeiting law. While counterfeiting is an offense that is relatively difficult to understand, it has considerable effects on intellectual property rights. In the past few years, France has enacted various measures to help deal with this crime, particularly the anti-counterfeiting laws.

Counterfeiting is a crime that can take various forms such as illegal downloading, which makes it difficult…...

If however, that price changes during the course of arbitration the difference in price should be changed in order to reflect that difference. Further according to article 50, should Satel have to ultimately pay for the 30 non-counterfeit pieces, because they are defective, Satel is able to lower the price per unit of the pieces in order to reflect their current value as opposed to the value they would have if they were functional.

COUNTERFEIT COSMETICS & HOMELAND SECURITY ISSUES
Problem Identification

Counterfeit cosmetics are prevalent specifically over the Internet on such websites as Ebay. These cosmetics are dangerous and cause severe problems even death among those who purchase and use these products. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is reported to be conducting an investigation of the major counterfeit cosmetic manufacturing rings that are producing and selling products reported to contain "high concentrations of various metals and carcinogenic ingredients normally banned from use in cosmetics." (orrelli, 2013, p. 1) These ingredients when applied to the skin are reported to be such that may result in "long-term health issues." (orrelli, 2013, p. 1) Adverse reactions to these makeups include "irritations and allergies" as well as other problems. (orrelli, 2013, p. 1) Somosot (2014) reports that testing of counterfeit cosmetics including MAC and Chanel found these products to be "loaded with harmful lead, beryllium, aluminum and…...

Counterfeiting on Luxury Goods
Consuming counterfeit products social effects. Consumers want to project a desired social image

Consumers want to project an external image of themselves that gives them a certain social status, even though internally they know they did not pay top dollar for their "luxury good." For example, someone who buys a counterfeit Louis Vuitton bag does so for the purpose of being able to present herself in fashionable light without having to pay for it.

Thus, the reason that people buy counterfeit goods is simple: it is easy and one can maintain a status without paying a significant cost

This explanation, of course, only applies to individuals who want to be viewed as someone who is part of a particular social class or who has a social status (when in actuality he or she is on the outside of that class/status)

Someone who is actually a member of the class or state…...

However, China is making progress as Baksi (2015) reports: "China is making increasing attempts to tackle counterfeit goods production. In 2014 its administrative authorities handled 67,500 trade mark infringement cases with a value of 100 million renminbi (£10.3 million), destroyed 1,007 infringing sites and transferred 355 criminal cases to the prosecutors. And the Trademark Office, and Trademark Review and Adjudication Board together decided 2,800 cases against bad faith trade mark filings. A new trade mark law, which came into force in May 2014, introduced more severe punishments for repeated infringements and raised the amount of statutory damages from 500,000 renminbi (£51,501) to 3 million (£300,000)."

For instance, one of those interviewed had a counterfeit Louis Vuitton bag whose value she claimed was £40 (Howie). A real Louis Vuitton bag goes for no less than £1,900. Thus as Howie correctly points out, this particular customer was able to get something that resembled the real thing for a price "almost 50 times less than the price for a similar bag by the designer." It is also important to note that celebrities have not been left out on this one. Taylor Armstrong is one of those celebrities who have recently been on the news for all the wrong reasons -- owning a number of counterfeit bags. According to the Huffington Post, Taylor was found in possession of "several fake Birkin bags." It is instructive to note that Taylor has reportedly been undergoing serious financial challenges in recent times. The pressure to "fit-in" regardless of her financial situation…...

Counterfeit Product on Global Economy
Counterfeiting may be described as crime with 'fakes' comprising a purchase which is alternatively cheap, and the parties involved see this as of low risk in terms of prosecution having light penalties as compared to the large profit which is always made. Counterfeit products trade internationally is approximated to be more than global trade by six percent. The effect is not only felt to business and investment opportunities but also on society and global economy negatively.

Trade involving counterfeit goods is profitable and proofs indicate that on top of connection historically involving organized crime and counterfeit, terrorist groups take advantage of this to get money for their activities globally which is dangerous to the community. The variety of products of counterfeit is very extensive and the tendency shows that counterfeiters have expanded from dealing in luxury goods to exploiting of the consumer goods, even in medicine,…...

It can keep a better eye on its employees, and the Chinese people have started to buy &W speakers because of the quality. That is very good news for the company, since it now has another outlet for sales and another market in which to sell its goods. The company also has a specialized production process, so it is hard to replicate the speakers that it makes (Naim, 2011). ecause of the complexity of the process, counterfeiters generally avoid trying to copy the company. The counterfeiters who try do not usually get good results, and that discourages them from continuing. That is another bonus for the company, because there is not as much of a need to worry about whether the speakers it makes will be copied and sold for much less than the originals would bring.

Good morning, my name is Nicholas Youseff and I was born in La Crescenta, California. Currently, I work as a franchisee of Armani in Kuwait. I received my license in 2000 to sell and distribute Armani in Kuwait, something that I have been doing for the last 15 years. It is a renewable license. As an official franchisee of Armani, it is my job to ensure that the brand is protected. In part this means that I'm responsible for making sure that all clothes which are sold in Kuwait and which bear the official Armani logo, are in fact authentic. If there are counterfeit brands of Armani wafting around the area where I am an official seller, it becomes problematic for me, and it also undermines the integrity of the entire Armani brand. In the last two years, I found repeated incidences of…...

The mall in Shanghai is not representative of all shopping experiences in China, and the questionnaire and its use of imagery and descriptions lack clarity and precision needed for more extrapolative results.

Pharmaceutical Gray Market on Operations and Strategies
The safety, security and prices of pharmaceuticals in the United States represent a fundamental national security interest. When essential drugs are unavailable or priced too high, the public's health is threatened and this is what is happening because of the pharmaceutical gray market. This paper reviews the relevant literature to determine how the pharmaceutical "gray market" affects the operations of pharmaceutical companies operating in the U.S. pharmaceutical market as well as strategies used by pharmaceutical companies to combat this issue. A summary of the research and important findings concerning these issues are provided in the conclusion.

eview and Discussion

Generally speaking, pharmaceuticals are enormously expensive to develop and bring to market (Kelly, 1999). According to Kelly, "The development of prescription pharmaceuticals requires costly and time-consuming research. After a product has been developed, it must undergo the rigorous approval process of the Food and Drug Administration…...

Intellectual Property ightsQuestion 1Copyright is arguably all about originality, whether one looks at it from a civil law or from a common law perspective. How is that assessment to be reconciled with the fact that the word originality does not appear in the Berne Convention? Discuss.Copyright law is concerned with the protection of original works of authorship. In the United States, copyright law is enshrined in the Constitution, which gives Congress the power to promote the Progress of Science and useful Arts, by securing for limited Times to Authors and Inventors the exclusive ight to their respective Writings and Discoveries (US Constitution, 2022). Under U.S. copyright law, a work is considered original if it is the product of an individual author\\\'s independent creative effort. This requirement of originality is different from that of other countries, which generally protect any work that is not a mere copy of another work. Nonetheless,…...

In your explanation, compare and contrast domestic and international terrorism. Also, please indicate whether either type of terrorism is subject to defeat. or, in a free society such as ours, must we simply learn to live with the annoyance and tragedies of ideological, political, and/or religiously-motivated violence?)
Domestic terrorism is much more statistically common than foreign terrorism, as those who feel they have cause to be angry enough to act against anything are much more likely to act against something they see as wrong in their own environment, Opportunity and ease of access also plays a role in this observation. Though terrorist acts are exceedingly rare they do occur on a somewhat regular basis if definitions are kept broad and are more likely to be domestic in nature than foreign born.

Many of the items she sold as part of her trade were counterfeit, including movies, music videos, clothing accessories, and handbags. But even if her business was legal, she was still stealing company time. Individuals felt freer, because of her openly excused behavior to make more personal phone calls, surf the web at work for personal reasons, and simply to stand around and chat rather than complete their assigned projects.
Because her purveyance was well-known, and her goods were, alas, of high quality and excellent facsimiles of the 'real thing,' many of her coworkers and even, yes, our boss were further inclined to look the other way, because, when hard pressed for an inexpensive yet apparently high quality gift, they could easily make use of her business.
