10,000 prosecuted in China for Counterfeit products
About 10,000 people were charged with producing counterfeit products in the first half of this year in China, Vice Premier Wang Yang said, highlighting the gravity of the violation of the Intellectual Property Rights.
Police investigated about 64,000 cases involving fake medicines, construction materials, automobile parts, toys and other commodities, Wang said at a national meeting on counterfeit control.
This, however, has merely dented the vast and varied counterfeit market and offenders are growing more tech-savvy and discreet, he warned.
The government plans to tighten online supervision and improve its tip-off system, state-run Xinhua news agency said.A special operation to prevent the export of counterfeit products will be launched, in which cross-border trade fairs and e-commerce platforms will be under tight scrutiny, Wang said.
Computer software will be another priority.
