Through an interdisciplinary analysis, Professor Blakeney assesses the size of the counterfeit goods trade, its drivers, and its impact on commerce, public order and health. The book includes a broad range of case studies focusing on the areas most affected by the counterfeit trade: medicines and pharmaceuticals; food, wines and spirits; luxury goods; vehicle and aircraft parts; and herbicides, fertilisers and pesticides. As counterfeiting is driven by the search for profits, Professor Blakeney argues for disincentivising organised crime groups via the legal confiscation of the proceeds of crime.
This innovative book's examination of the trade in international counterfeit products will interest scholars, practitioners and policy-makers in the fields of trademark law, customs and trade law, and crime and corruption studies. It will also be invaluable for regulators and compliance personnel, legal practitioners and industry representatives.
Industry Reviews
'A comprehensive examination of the international trade in counterfeit goods and the links to international organized crime. Covering mainly trademark infringement but including copyright, Professor Blakeney's long experience in this field make him an ideal assessor of the factors involved and apposite case studies underline the significance of the phenomenon leading to a succinct "Way Forward".' -- John Anderson, The Global Anti-Counterfeiting Group, France
'The links between organised crime and counterfeits have become an issue of crucial importance to international trade and intellectual property enforcement. In this book, Blakeney brings a wealth of experience, critical insight and sustained analysis to his examination of the complex legal and socio-economic environments involved.' -- Phillip Johnson, Cardiff University, UK
